what are yours time wasters?

what should you do before you leave your job?

if your company has a standard procedure, of course you should follow it, but besides that, you also should do the following if it is not covered by the procedure:

cleanup /dump /turn in all company physical stuff under your control

backup and delete all personal files on your computer and network folders, uninstall softwares you installed without permit.

try each website you have visited, check it’s not logged in automatically

cleanup all browser history/data/passwords

shoot a farewell email

turn in security tokens/door cards/ keys

what is blind reference check

have you ever tried to search your own email address or phone number in Google?
what does Google turn out?
are all these results good for you?

what if you provide your this email and/or phone number to your currrent/potential employer?
I do know some companies not only contact the references you provided but they also check your contacts online. how do they do it? just Google "blind reference check".

how do they find your contacts?
think about Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, any online forums...

if they did not get any response or any positive response, it's bad sign for you.
