I would say that all of the points made in the article are right on track – I would however add one other key ‘Don’t’ – and this comes from personal experience: do not take the advice of headhunters / recruiters directly involved in placing you with your new job when it comes to advice on how to tell your current employer — they tend to advise the path of least resistance — in other words, they want to ensure that you are not in any way swayed by your current employer to stay and turn-around and pass on the new opportunity — the recruiter is looking out for their best interest: getting paid their commission, not preserving your good will with your current employer.

Great advice. We constantly see the stories of people leaving their jobs in a blaze of unnecessary “glory”, but even the crappy jobs are important for references, if for nothing else. One of my former colleagues put together an “exit” folder before he left with all of the files, contacts, and notes he had accumulated that would be useful. Almost a year later, we still refer to that folder for critical information. That was huge.

All good advice, most of which I wish I’d read about 2 weeks ago.
