If    you    are    thinking    of    leaving    your    job,    you    may    think    that    handing    in    your    letter    of    resignation    is    the    end    of    the    matter.    But    an    increasing    number    of    companies    now    conduct    ‘exit    interviews’    with    staff.    For    the    employee,    an    exit    interview    may    feel    like    an    ideal    opportunity    to    rant    and    rave    about    every    little    annoyance    that    has    troubled    them    since    they    got    the    job.    But,    in    mind    that    you    will    probably    still    need    a      from    these    people,    it    is    best    to    avoid    getting    angry    or    emotional,    and    just    answer    the    questions    as    calmly    and    with    as    much  honesty  as    possible.    For    employers,    the    exit    interview    is    a    rare    opportunity    to    gather    some    valuable    information    about    the    way    staff    perceive    the    company.    Existing    employees    may    not    wish    to    cause      to    the    boss    or    damage    their    chances    of    promotion,    so    are    unlikely    to      their    real    feelings    about    the    company.    However,    someone    who    has    already    resigned    is    more    likely    to    be    when    giving    their    opinions.
