Pay is a good motivating factor when looking for work, but I regularly interview and consult in this area. I would not suggest listing "better pay" as the reason for quitting. I would simply put down, "Still employed, but seeking better opportunity." If it's not a job paying much more than your present one, they may not look too closely at your explanation as long as you didn't have problems with stealing, tardiness, or other things. I typically see this answered vaguely, which is fine. I want to know if they were fired and why. If they quit, it's not as big of an issue.

In that spot write " For better pay and career opportunities." SInce your current wages are at or near minimum wage any prospective employer will understand the better pay part and by placing for career opportunities it gives the impression you are looking for a challange with which to make your career in.

Tell your employer that you wish to resign without mentioning the reason. Normally it is not compulsory to give reasons for your resignation. If the employer needs to know you can either give reason or not. If you feel like giving reason, just be frank, tell your employer that the salary you are getting is not eneough to meet your living and that you are looking for better salary . He might as well raise up your salary if still he needs you, but cannot stop you from resigning!
