Changing Jobs

Whether you've hit the infamous glass ceiling, received a great offer elsewhere, or are just ready for something different, the time to prepare for a job change is before you tell your lunch buddies. Nothing travels faster than news of a soon-to-be-departed employee, and usually the last person you want to hear the news--your boss--will be the first.

Your first step is to make sure you're confident in your decision. By preparing your thoughts--and your workload--before the news reaches the water cooler, you'll improve your chances of preserving good relationships with your boss and co-workers.
