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 know it's not like it was £20.

"He said everyone will be till trained and have to worked one of the weekends every week which is fine."

theres one weekend every week!

personally, i find having a day off in the week useful.  You can go to the bank, get your hair cut, go to  the dentist etc

Abbey, even if it was £20 it wouldn't be worth turning down a full time job for.  If this job is offered whether you think you might enjoy it or not, you need to be enthusiastic about it and learn all you can.  That way you'll become a valued and reliable member of staff and keep the job long-term.  Millions of people do jobs they don't enjoy because they need the money - as you do.  

[abbeylee90]

Of course yeah but wouldn't put it on my CV for a while. I think I can start on 25th.

[naomi24]

Why the 25th?

[DDIL]

What has your CV to do with a Christmas party and accepting a full time job?

[abbeylee90]

I got beajolious day on 21st and visiting my sister on 23rd.

You asked us a question in another thread about why you can't get a job.

You have answered the question yourself with your last answer.

[abbeylee90]

They don't mind me giving notice 

[naomi24]

Abbey, if it's a choice between getting a full time job and your social calendar, the job must come first.  You'd be a fool to turn it down for those reasons.

[abbeylee90]

Not turning it down just need that day off

[naomi24]

Needing a day off doesn't explain why you can't start until the 25th.  

[Hazlinny]

Have you ever heard of the word "cancellation" Abbey?

[naomi24]

Why is visiting your sister such a big deal?  Does she live a long way from you?

[abbeylee90]

Yes on England 

[abbeylee90]

 In England and haven't seen her all year.

[abbeylee90]

I've got the job.

[Hazlinny]

So .......... what happens next?

[naomi24]

Even so, that's no reason not to start the job before the 25th.   You need to show willing and at least appear to be eager.   You'll obviously be working on a rota because you have to do a day at weekends so if you tell the company right away what previous commitments you have, they will work their rota out to suit.  Don't put it off.  Just do it.

Fantastic!!!
