I 've been working at the store just for extra cash. I am not planning on working at this store or any other for the rest of my life. I have my Masters. I just don't want to work at this store any more. I haven't worked there for 90 days yet. if I guit now will it damage my employment history. I understand if I ask for reference the store will write something bad about me. what if I never ask?

Does anyone ever need to know you worked there? If you have been studying at the same time, then your CV will look like you were a full-time student anyway...if I put down all the cr** jobs I quit on my CV it would run to ten pages, no prob.

If you have a Master's degree, this store should recognize you are severely overqualified for the job you are in and it is unrealistic to expect you to maintain this for a long period of time. Also, if you give reasonable notice, such as 2 weeks, you should be fine and part on good terms. This sucks because, as we all know, employers do not have to give 2 weeks notice to fire someone, but they expect 2 weeks when you quit. Anyway, explain to your boss that you have found a job with more beneifts or better pay or whatever your reason is. They are business people and would trade you in in a heart beat for someone who will work cheaper for no benefits, why should you not trade them in for someone who will give you better pay and benefits? Of course, you were rather vague as to what you do in this store, so this reply is based on the assumption that you are working for way less than a master's degree should get you or that you are working with no benefits or for some equally unsatisfying reason.

If you have other employment history, you don't need to put that on a resume. As a person in charge of hiring sometimes, I actually think seeing someone with a master's degree who has "store clerk" as a job title would be weird. Why would someone with that much education have that kind of job? (I'm not judging you...it's what I'd think if I saw that on a resume.) Best case scenario: give a week's notice.

Sure, you can quit. The right way to do it is to tell your supervisor you're quitting, but give notice, one or preferrably two weeks. They might just not put you on the schedule after you tell them, but if they do, show up and work your shift. It's the right thing to do - and besides, you never know when someone from there is going to show up in your future, maybe at a potential employer's.

Since you have worked there less than 90 days and if you don't need to added the job to a resume than I would just leave. As long as it don't make a big gap between your employment than the hell with it.

Consider how well they know you and if you can explain quitting. For example, can you say you suddenly have more personal obligations and need more time, so you regret you have to put in notice? Perhaps you can promise to stay a couple of weeks or more to make sure they find a replacement? If you are considerate when you leave, you might still have made a good impression in case you ever need a ref.

I wouldn't ask for a reference but I would go to your personnel manager or your boss and explain to them that you have other, more pressing obligations at the moment, you are sorry that you must leave their employ but your personal life demands your attention and you would not want to be unfair to them and that they deserve an employee that can devote more time and effort into their position- then I would hand in my two weeks notice and finish out with a polite and professional two weeks

I believe it's illegal for companies to give a bad reference now. Instead they have to just refuse to give one if they don't have anything favourable to say. But if you never ask for one, it shouldn't be an issue.
