Exit Survey
 
 
Hello:
You are invited to participate in my survey on why you left a recent job. In this survey, approximately 1000 people will be asked questions about their employment experience at a former job. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. All answers are optional. You may skip any question, however, it is very important for me to learn your opinion. This research will be used for my Master's Degree studies and may later be published.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate unless you specifically permit your anonymous story to be told. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
