Don’t Jeopardize Your Current Employment When Searching for a New Job
When leaving a job, the best is to do a smooth transition so you leave in good terms. Don’t make the mistake of disregarding your current employment on the rationale that you will leave anyways. Following are some tips:
- Keep giving your 100% at work and maintain a good attitude.
- Don’t look for jobs while at work.
- Don’t use your work contact information when applying for a new job.
- Discuss of possible opportunities with potential employers outside of work hours.
- Be honest with your current employer as to your discontentment. This may allow you to change job within the same organization.

I usually encourage people in transition from one job to the next to do a few things:
1. Try to have copies and samples of your best work, without compromising any confidentiality issues.
2. Update their kudos files with good comments and evaluations from people you might have worked with.
3. Let vendors, customers or any clients you might have worked with, know that you are leaving.
You definitely want to leave on good terms if at all possible. Sometimes though things may have gotten so out of hand it is hard to do.
Stay positive.
