Auto Response When Leaving Firm

So I am leaving my job and when I leave I want to put up an auto response for my work email address that has my new contact information and lets people know that I am leaving. What has everyone seen as a pretty standard response?

Thanks.

No Longer With the Company Email Template

While most companies terminate your email as soon as you leave the firm - there might be some cases where you should set up an automatic response in case the firm doesn't get around to shutting your email off for a while.

TheVanBurenBoyz - Private Equity Associate:
I was told to set up an auto-response by the small PE fund I was working for. It just included: where I'm at now, what they do, their website, my new e-mail & phone, then said in a separate paragraph, "If you'd like to reach an Old Firm professional, please contact Old Boss Name & Info."

With this in mind, if there is no bad blood between you and your employer you should ask your manager what they would prefer you to include in your auto-response method.

As far as I know, most companies automatically terminate your email once you leave and when someone emails you they will receive an auto response that the email no longer exists.

This.

It's kind of silly to believe that anything else but this would happen. Auto-response enabled? Right . . .

 

The guy works in PE. Depending on the size of the shop, they might not get around to terminating the e-mail for a while. That was the case for me. In fact, I was told to set up an auto-response.

It just included: where I'm at now, what they do, their website, my new e-mail & phone, then said in a seperate paragraph, "If you'd like to reach an Old Firm professional, please contact Old Boss Name & Info."
