How do I quit my job after 1 week?

Question

I just got this new job at some 'Spud Shed' and now I realize that it wasn't a checkout job but it was a damn labour jobs, and I hate labour jobs and now I want to quit after only 2 days. My 2 previous jobs were also crappy labourers jobs (they both lasted only a week). I want to work in retail, customer service or something with a 'checkout' ring to it. What recomendations can you give on how I would quit this boring dull job and where I would look for a checkout job. PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

Just leave your current job if you think that would be best. But before you walk off the job, maybe you could talk to the manager and let them know that labouring isnt what you thought you were hired for and that you would like to work the check out.

Also, for you next job, be specific in the position that you want. On teh application and the interview let them knwo that you would like to work in the cash register. You may have to be flexible in that they may need you on the floor occasionally.

Good luck.

Answer 2

After reading all the other comments I would like to point out the fact that she is still only 16. Stating that she should get used to the real world means nothing because there is plenty of time for that. Your 16 and the real world is all around you. Have fun. I understand there is no better time to learn what reality will be, but don't just chalk your day to day experiences up to a dull work life. You will have 50+ years of that. Working is fine when your 16, but moderation is certainly a key. You should either talk to your manager and explain the your simply working too much and would like part time hours if they are available, or if thats not possible place your resignation. Your teen years are a great time to learn about life and become mature, but don't forget to have fun while doing it. Life really doesnt have to be boring if you don't let it. Work, but dont work too much. Besides, you will have school to focus on soon, which is more important by a long shot.

Just stop going in they sack you so you wont have to think of an excuse if they do tell them their job is crap , but i guess they know that already and use the time to look for another job , be more cautious this time and find ut exactly what the job entails
I supose you are writting this from England , Although Ive never heard of spud shed Stay clear of the recomended list at the job centre Catering , hairdressing etc all low paid and dead end jobs

Answer 4

This is the third time it's happened. There's a pattern here that you need to figure out.

Are you asking the right questions beforehand to find out if it's your kind of work?

Would you be willing to stick at a job awhile until you got the chance to do the kind of things you want? Some places will move you around if you're a good employee.

Why do you view them as crappy jobs? All jobs have some value somewhere otherwise you wouldn't be paid for it.

How about talking to some people who are doing what you want to do and seeing how they got there? Would you be willing to ask for their assistance?

Answer 5

Be honest...what have you got to loose? Next time ask questions on exactly what is required of you and all aspects of the job. That way you know what you're getting into and what is expected of you. In return, if the job requirements start changing you can let your employer know that is not what you were hired to do. You need to job search at a mall or someplace where there are lots of retail stores. Also, food stores where you can apply specifically for cashier jobs. Good luck!
