"Stable announcers wanted. Abrupt departures discouraged."

The longtime FM DJ told those of us at a broadcasting school seminar, "If you're going to quit a job, don't just walk out before your shift is over.  That kind of thing follows you.  If I were going to hire someone and came across the resume of someone who had done that, I'd say, 'OK, let's just put this (resume) off to the side.'  No one wants to risk hiring someone who might blow up the station when he's having a bad day."

Obvious advice?  Yes, but it's still valid.
