Don't Forget

1. Ask for a reference. Future potential employers may want to write to your employer for a reference. Ask your line manager what the company procedure is - sometimes all references need to be addressed to the Personnel department. Also ask your line manager or a more senior boss to give you a written reference that you can take with you (these say "To Whom It May Concern" at the top)
   
   
2. Keep notes on your employment. For future applications you will need accurate start and finish dates.
   
   
3. Check your tax. If you are a student in full-time education during the whole of the tax year (i.e. up to next April) you can fill in a P38(S) tax exemption form so that you only pay national insurance and not income tax. This form should be supplied by your employer. Ask them for one if they don't issue one well before payday!
   
   
4. Ask about coming back. If you are finishing a temp job that you have enjoyed, make it clear that you are interested in coming back before you leave. You may get some tips on how to avoid going through a re-application process - you may even get promoted next season!
