What to Do on Your Last Day at Work

So you have resigned and your last day is coming. Have you thought about What to Do on Your Last Day at Work?

Conclude your work and hand over outstanding projects

While you should try to complete all work-related tasks before your final day, be prepared to spend a couple of hours on that day tying up loose ends. Make sure your team members are fully up to speed on their responsibilities and answer any final questions they may have..

Ask for a letter of recommendation from your manager

Ask your manager for a letter of recommendation. Having a strong reference who can vouch for your abilities in the workplace is an important asset that can help you get hired.

No matter how you worked together, always thank them for their guidance, supervision, and encouragement. They will be glad to know you have progressed professionally

Hand over all company property to Human Resource

All company-related materials must be handed over in a final handover. That includes electronic devices such as tablets, notebooks etc

As part of the termination process, complete an exit interview.

HR may ask you to participate in an exit interview before you leave. In some cases, you may need to request an exit interview from your employer. The purpose of the interview is to share your thoughts about your time and experiences with the organization.

Here is a list of possible questions that you might be asked:

Why are you changing careers and leaving your current position?

What improvements would you suggest to the company’s management?

What have you accomplished in your role?

Would you recommend this organization to others seeking employment?

Wipe personal information from your computer and company devices and tidy up your workspace

You should clear out your email messages and forward anything important that your replacement or other colleagues might need to follow up on. Make sure your personal items are packed up and your desk is clear for your replacement.  

Collect colleague contacts and send a final email to your colleagues

Reach out to employees you wish to stay in touch with after your departure. You might want to stay in touch with colleagues you have built good relationships with, such as your manager and members of the executive team. If you need a letter of recommendation you may contact them.

Send one last farewell email before you leave the company. Tell them about your professional experience with the organization, and provide them with your contact information. You want to leave the company on good terms with all of your colleagues, and leaving the company in writing will allow you to do that.

Final thoughts on what to do on your last day at work

So there you have it. You are ready to leave. Stay professional and do not burn bridges. When exiting a position, the impression you leave on those around you can have a profound effect on your future opportunities
