• What kinds of knowledge or skills do you now have that this office will miss most when you leave?
• If you had to leave suddenly and only had one day left to brief your replacement, what would you put on your list of things to tell them?
• Looking back, what things do you wish this office had taught you early in your job that you eventually learned the hard way?
• What are the key resources (procedures, manuals, etc.) that you use to do your job?
• What pieces of knowledge are you most worried about slipping through the cracks when you leave?
• Are there some important types of at-risk knowledge that take a long time for someone else to learn? What are they?
•How did you learn the things you know? What were the critical training programs, work assignments, etc.? What is unique about your background compared to the typical employee in a position like yours?
