For a lot of fields of work, there are only a few companies to work for and if you leave, you want to be sure they would be willing to take you back. I see a lot of people hop around jobs and I know eventually they will have trouble finding a job b/c they have already worked everywhere. Good tips, I think it is real important not to burn bridges.

Some industries, though they seem big, can really be very small. Many top managers know each other and give each other quick calls when they see a resume. You also never know when a company can merge with another and you find yourself working for the same parent company again. Your previous employee is ripe with contacts should you ever need them.

I've been through one very brief exit interview, but I was a contractor and my leaving was expected though not the timing of it. I think who is giving the exit interview also makes a big difference. If it is a HR person who is truly looking to gain info to help make things better your answers (or willingness to answer) will probably be different than if the interview conductor is your former boss who is miffed at your leaving. I agree the #1 priority should be to remain professional. Great article!
