Remaining on good terms with your employer after leaving your job has many long-term benefits.

Step 1: Speak highly of your former employer
Whenever the opportunity presents itself, speak highly of your former job and colleagues. Words travel, and a positive framing of your experiences will curry favor and reflect positively on you.

Step 2: Stay in touch
Stay in touch with your former employer. Involve the company in new business dealings, or keep them posted through e-mails.

Tip
Stay on top of industry news and gossip.

Step 3: Stay in touch with former colleagues
Stay in touch with your former colleagues – let them know of any new business ventures, or simply send an occasional "hello."

Step 4: Consult with former colleagues
Consult with former colleagues, particularly about new opportunities. Talk about your accomplishments and responsibilities to remind them of your contributions.

Step 5: Seize communication opportunities
Use any opportunity to send a former employer or colleagues a congratulatory message, or a simple "thank you" if they lend a hand with finding a new job.

Did You Know?
Americans, 60 percent of them said an extra "thank-you" went a long way toward increasing productivity.
