To begin with, classify documents into ones for retaining, shredding and recycling. This might be part of the protocol of the company but if it isn’t, request for information. When you know the company’s requirements, sift through the files, piling them up in three bundles: to recycle, to shred and to take, separating all three. Arrange the files in order (alphabetically, numerically etc) in particular boxes. Do not keep files in boxes that are too big lest they get shuffled during transit. Remember to mark boxes with numbers or information about their contents. Number the boxes to know which to unpack first.
• Packing Your Desk: To pack away the desk, empty out its contents and sort through supplies like notepads, office clips etc. Retain some and donate the rest to charity or to people you know who need them. You must only take those items to your new office, which you need absolutely. It is good if your employer knows beforehand the nature of your future cabin and the supplies that you will need- old or new.
