Across the many years I have been in HR and a career coach, I have seen it all. And every time I think I've warned just about everyone about what not to do, another brilliant example comes along. In fact, I have started using the hashtag #epicjobseekerfail on Twitter to track some of these fantastic moves.
A recent one comes courtesy of a friend who forwarded me his colleague's recent "goodbye" email. I've shared some excerpts below, and redacted (in red) information to protect the innocent. (The incredibly dumb yet innocent). You probably don't need me to tell you why this entire letter is an #epicjobseekerfail and CLM (career limiting move), but enjoy my witty insights (in blue).
