  • · Print all reviews
  • · Print all info on earnings and benefits from HR site
  • · Get in contact with current and former peers, DM's & RD's as well as customers to request letters of recommendation
  • · Let your customers know, let them know who to contact for help in your absence and that if they hear of opportunities to keep you in mind
  • · Print all data for current reports - you won't get anymore so ensure you can back up the numbers as you know them today
  • · Print all quarterly bonus pay out forms
  • · Access HR site to obtain company discount codes (cars, computers and etc)
