According to a poll conducted on readers of my Coding Career about their goals for 2010, around 20 percent answered ‘get a new job'. If you have taken up medical coding as a career, you'll realize there are many good jobs available. As such, career-savvy coders often make job changes - not because they don't like their jobs but because they are on the look out to master new skills.
But even if you dislike your soon-to-be-old boss, it's always better to keep it to yourself. More, so in the coding world because it's a small world – who knows you may encounter your old co-workers again. And successful coders know that good professional networks can help you when a medical coding career challenge bogs you down.
This is where the old saying ‘don't burn your bridges behind you' comes from. You will never know when the relationships from your old job will come back to either make or mar your success.
Also, it's always classier to resign with grace. According to recruitment experts, no matter how tempted you are, do not vent all your angst, complaints, rantings and hang-ups.
Instead of ranting and raving about the company's flaws and differences with co-workers, offer to help and cooperate during the transition period. In fact if you are magnanimous and up to it, maintain contact and communication with former bosses or colleagues.
That you are moving to greener pastures should suffice to help you keep your calm and be kind to your former boss. Also see to it that you do not carry excess emotional baggage when you start your new job.
