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?

[scorpiojo]

Your name and address? Yes.

[THECORBYLOON]

Can you not just e-mail your supervisor/boss?

[naomi24]

Don't complicate it Corby.  If she hands a letter to her manager she knows they've got her resignation.

[abbeylee90]

Scorpio yes on top of the letter 

[naomi24]

Abbey, write your address at the top of the letter - then print your name several spaces below 'Yours sincerely' - and then sign in the space you left.

[THECORBYLOON]

I'm not trying to complicate it.

An e-mail saves having to add an address, it can be forwarded to anyone who needs to know about it and it can pick up any spelling/gramatical mistakes.

[THECORBYLOON]

It can also pick up grammatical errors...

[abbeylee90]

I still work there and go in so might aswell just give it to them.

[abbeylee90]

Where shall I put tomorrow's date?

[naomi24]

Under your address.

When I was at school there was always a question on the English Language 'o' level paper which involved writing a formal letter to someone like the PM or your headteacher.  I doubt it's even covered in the syllabus now, it's probably how to use emoji in a text now...but there are sites that tell you how to set out a formal letter, abbey.

[abbeylee90]

I'm not use to this but do I go the manager as soon as I come in?

[newmodarmy]

Have you never handed in notice before Abbey. There's no need to do it straight away but I'd do it early so it's not hanging over you 

[newmodarmy]

Do you never have conversations with your parents about these things? 

[DDIL]

Personally I would do my shift and then hand over the letter or if they have a pigeon hole pop it in there

[naomi24]

Abbey, just hand it to your manager when to get to work.  That way it's done.

[abbeylee90]

New only via email and on paper while I was at work.

[abbeylee90]

DIDL No they don't have a pigeon hole and I'd rather speak to them.

[abbeylee90]

Only worry because it reminds me of b&m where I was years ago where I had bad experience.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, what is it about the new place that reminds you of B and M,and your unhappy memories there?
