CAREER EDUCATION. Leave on good terms: save regret

The exit interview is not a time to burn bridges with your old company. It has become a very common throughout corporate America, and the idea behind it is to discover from departing staff members, when they no longer have to worry about protecting jobs, exactly what things at the company can be improved.
The interview is deigned to be a tool to make a business more efficient and a better place to work. However, many employees who are leaving an organization using this as a time to vent frustrations that you felt. They see it as a personal gripe session and loose inhibitions, sometimes venting personal ad homonym attacks against collaborators and especially against the bosses and former supervisors.
This is never a wise idea. Dale Carnegie and other personal growth guru told businessmen for many years which is never good to burn bridges and offend someone when you could easily avoid. This is the old saying, "you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar". Keep in mind that saying before the interview. Remember that if you make personal attacks will be seen as such by people who have read the report of the interview. If you have any suggestions for improvement, genuine your case might be weakened by making personal attacks. I really do not gain anything from attack or bad mouthing people was used to work with or work for anyway, and you may regret saying something in anger later when you're thinking more clearly.
Use the interview as a constructive tool, with good intentions. The company who is accustomed to work, after all, provide a way of earning a living for the time spent with them. Granted, provided services to them that they needed. And, it paid a salary or wages. We hope that was a fair exchange. If you have honest concerns, the interview can be constructive. For example, a journalist for a local weekly newspaper, pointed out that the computers used were old and updated, and that the firewall software used was ineffective. The system had suffered attacks of computer viruses in the past, and it was obvious the reporter that the editor was not enough computer literato figuring out how to solve the problem. The reporter knew that the Publisher and business manager would have both read the interview report output, so she carefully and diplomatically made his comments, showing that the purchase of new computers and new software would save the newspaper in the long run. Carefully formulated by it during his exit interview took his ideas among competent persons, and take his comments seriously because he had nothing to gain and nothing to lose and it seemed to be reported this situation for the good of the newspaper and personal. In this way, the interview release benefited all concerned.
