You don't want to be remembered as the summer associate who crashed the e-mail system by sending around video clips. Hang the cell phone up .

Keep your work area clean even if you're working on a weekend when no one else is in the office. A clean desk says you are organized, thorough and in control. Write a note .

You can write them during your last week at the firm and then mail them on your way to the office on the last day.
