Leaving a Job with Integrity: Why It Matters More Than How You Enter
Today, we're diving into a crucial topic that often doesn't get the attention it deserves: leaving a job with integrity.
While much emphasis is placed on making a great first impression when starting a new job, the way you exit a role can have an even more lasting impact on your career and relationships.
The EdTech industry is a very, very, very small space. You want to do the best you possible can to keep your reputation in tact. I still do business with both EdTech companies I worked with ten years ago. I also work closely in a recruiting aspect with many individuals I worked with at my second EdTech job.
Why? Because I left both roles with total class and my relationships in tact.
You’ll Learn:
The importance of maintaining professional relationships and making good impressions
What legal and ethical considerations you need to understand
How to give proper notice when leaving a job
What it means to complete outstanding work
How to stay positive when leaving a job
