duty manager! shall i do it?

Question

hi
i have a weekend job at a local small supermarket, during my time of from university i tend to do more hours during in the week basically whatever hours the manager can offer me ill do. I only have one year left at uni so i would be looking to leave the company next year. however today the manager asked me to go on a duty manager course! i have always liked the idea of doing the course but will it cause friction between myself and others who have been there a lot longer and intend on staying with the company on a more permanent basis than me? the manager knows my situation reagrding uni and said she would really like me to do it still! should i take my friends advice and think about number1 for a change as afterall it will look good on my cv or should i give up the opportunity of duty manager????? (by the way i am 19 years old)

At uni i am not doing a business related degree infact nothing like it im training to teach!

Answer 1

Finish Uni first, get a good result, than start looking in retail if that is what you want.

Answer 2

Whenever you give the emotion connected with what you are interested in, you will be presented with what you ask for.

That is "Law of Attraction" at work.

Please, embrace life with a "Yes, and...."

Do the duty manager course and experience a financial buffer after graduation.

When a better opportunity comes your way, you can give your six weeks notice, which is ethical.

In this manner, they won't miss you, and they will give you a great recommendation and having leadership qualities under your belt looks really good on your resume.

Being 19 is an advantage. There is age discrimination, which you will have first hand experience in about 10 years from now, so the more impressive the resume, the less of a hassle it is for the employer to make a decision.

The world is your oyster, so take it.

1. Don't worry about what others think.
2. it'll look good on your future resume and will be great training in real-world management.
3. it might also look bad to a future employer if you take them up on their offer and then later quit, it might look like you're not loyal.
4. I think the supermarket values you and wants to get you to hang around - they are interested in your value as an employee, and it's not their responsibility to look after your long term best interest. Only theirs. I think that's really what's going on here, they want to try and steal you away while they still can.

Me, as long as the offer is open, make sure there's no hidden penalties for when you quit later, I'd take it.

Answer 4

Never be worried about others to much if you want to get on in life.
you have to help yourself no one else will look after you as life goes on your see only family is more important than yourself.
what does age matter if she seen the potential in you and what ever the others think you didn't choose to promote yourself the boss did.
