Before You Resign - Make Sure to Take Note of These 10 Key Points (Job Search Support)
1: Know why you are leavingHave you outgrown your job, decided you want to specialise in a new area or have you had a fall out with a colleague or feel miffed because you have been passed over for promotion.

I’ve been active in consulting, offering seminars and speeches, and customized training programs for more than 20 years.

During that time, I’ve done hundreds of seminars and speeches, public and onsite, and I’ve trained thousands of people, many of whom have given me written evaluations and letters praising their experiences.

(3) Can you count on someone to be willing to back-up a reference he wrote, say more than five years ago?

Maybe, I’m a rare breed to be concerned about such things, but I think there are some potential ethical as well as practical issues at stake, especially if you have been consulting, coaching, or simply running a business for many years.

(I have some of those; really, I do!)

Can you use it, today? Still, I believe I am all of those things and my programs are great.

But is it fair to attribute these qualities to myself, now?

I say, why not? I earned the accolades and they never bore a “use-by” date, like ground beef or milk at the supermarket.

The next issue is a little trickier. Some companies change names without changing their basic composition or products. Sperry became Unisys, so there’s no biggie in listing it, I suppose.

Two of my references are from Baby Bells that we’re later merged into AT & T and Verizon. If I didn’t use these modern names, who would remember, or not be confused, if I said Pacific Bell and Nynex, which is where my references hailed from.
