Tweet Pin It submit to reddit Email article Print Reprints & permissions Kate Boorer is still mates with three of her previous bosses. Social worker Phillippa Lamb hasn't worked with her previous boss for three years, but still counts her as a friend. In fact, her previous boss recently sent Lamb a gift to mark the recent arrival of her second baby girl. “We're good friends. Better friends than when we worked together, really. You often talk about intense feelings as a social worker, so you know each other pretty well.” Lamb worked under her old boss – who was old enough to be her mother – for more than six years. Advertisement Lamb believes the friendship grew because they both shared a similar sense of humour. “I've always maintained that she's still the boss, so there are clear boundaries around what we would and wouldn't talk about because of that. It's about managing the work relationship and keeping the friendship separate. We're better friends now that we're not working together.” Sydney woman Kate Boorer has remained friends with three of her previous bosses. She opted to be honest with her immediate past boss when starting the job-seeking process when she worked in the corporate finance career, which helped her build a relationship of trust, she says. Her honesty paid off and her previous boss was a great sounding board, providing valuable career advice along the way. “Given it took around six months for me to find the right opportunity,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.org]Michael Kors Handbags[/url], I was grateful I didn't have to lie to someone I respected and valued for that length of time.” Today, Boorer runs an employee engagement and performance firm called Employerbility and advises others to tell the boss when job-seeking – as long as they feel it would be in their best interest. “It obviously depends on the nature of the job market and how senior you are, but transparency can really go in your favour. Although, you must feel comfortable that transparency is the best approach for you personally.” The advantage of staying on good terms with your boss includes the promise of a good reference when you need it,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.org]Michael Kors Outlet[/url], or even being able to return to your old company in a more senior role, points out Shane Warren of Sydney employee assistance programs firm Waterworth. Relationships with your last boss can be priceless when in the job-seeking market, he says. “It's an employer market, so it's always worthwhile ensuring you're parting on good terms.” Warren is also an employer and says professionalism goes a long way when you're walking out the door. He recently attended the wedding of someone that had worked for him that has since left to pursue another opportunity. Being professional and honest – to a point - is paramount,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.org]Michael Kors Handbags Outlet[/url], he says. “If you're resigning, you could say that you don't feel you're fitting in, or that you have been offered an opportunity elsewhere that you feel is a better fit for you. When resigning and looking to keep the door open with the boss, it's all in how you say it.” Once you've moved on,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.org]Michael Kors Handbags Outlet[/url], keep the communication channels open and be gracious for the opportunity you had under their rein. Lamb says emails and text messages and the odd phone call have kept the relationship with her previous boss alive. She asked her old boss for references, which she didn't hesitate in providing for her. Boorer recommends face-to-face contact at least once a year with your previous boss, such as a coffee. “The relationship goes both ways, so you never know what they might be up to that could be of interest to you professionally.” And depending on your job, connecting on LinkedIn can be a good move, Warren adds. “Sending your old boss a friend request via Facebook as you walk out the door probably isn't the way to keep the channels open. You don't want them seeing all your party shots,” he says. Aside from social media, keep abreast of professional milestones and send a handwritten congratulatory note when your old boss lands a promotion or new job. If you spot them at a conference, go over and say hello. And if you're walking past the pub you used to have after-work drinks at on Friday nights, go in and say hello, he says. “It's about continuing the common practices that were already in place. If you used to wish the boss well on their birthday when they worked for them,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.org]michael kors canada[/url],[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.org]Michael Kors Outlet[/url], keep doing so. The key is to have true adult conversations with them so that you can't help but be respected,” Warren says.
