[quote=Anonymous]I would not do all the sappy stuff -- she's not your mom and she's not your BFF. Don't put her in the awkward position of having to wipe your tears or prop you back up or tell you that you didn't disappoint her. She respects you as a colleague because she knows your work, not because you are nice or pretty or have cute hair. Don't tell her how sorry and sad you are, because she may well believe it. Be professional and direct, and let her know that the most valuable thing she can possibly give you now is not sugarcoated compliments and encouragement about how wonderful you are. It's usable feedback on why things didn't work out at this job and what you can do in the future to achieve a different outcome at the next job. [/quote]
