What Do I Do If I Get This Job?

[abbeylee90]

I got an interview tomorrow in a new shop opening which is meant to be on 9th. I need to give 2 weeks notice to selco so what do I say?

[abbeylee90]

I've been given start date on 25th. Do I tell selco tomorrow?

[naomi24]

Yes - and then you can work your notice.

[abbeylee90]

He said same shifts every week.

[abbeylee90]

Yes I haven't booked 22nd off so last day should be 21st.

[naomi24]

Ok.  What are the days and hours?

[abbeylee90]

Normally about 8-4- 10-6 on Saturday and opening hours for Sunday 10-4

[abbeylee90]

What do I say on my notice letter?

[naomi24]

So you'll do Monday to Friday plus Saturday or Sunday?

[abbeylee90]

Normally four days a week but I'm 8-4 on 25th

The problem is you are already thinking about your next job, and you haven't even started this one. What if you don't like it, stay with it, loads of people have jobs they don't like. You don't need a Beaujolis day, cancel it.

[DDIL]

Congratulations I truly hope this works out for you.

[abbeylee90]

That's not a problem, with beajolious day my one friend has cancelled so if I cancel aswell my other friend booked it.

[naomi24]

Just say 'Dear (manager's name) Please accept this letter as notice of my resignation from Selco.  My final day will be 21 November.  Yours sincerely, Abbey (surname)

 

Don't forget to date it with tomorrow's date and sign it.

[abbeylee90]

And put selco on front of the envelope?

[naomi24]

Yes - and the manager's name.  Give it to him/her by hand.

[DDIL]

You put your managers name at Selco 

[abbeylee90]

There's few managers I could give it to.

[Rosetta]

What's more important to you, going out on the lash or starting a new job? If you start asking for days off when you first start your job you wont give your employer a very good first impression

[abbeylee90]

I'm not asking for days off.

[naomi24]

Give it to the most senior manager.
