Hey all! Well, summer is just around the corner, and for many of us students that means summer jobs. Over Spring Break I applied at this fun little place called The Bear Mill. I have an interview on Wednesday and I'm 95% sure I'll get the job.
Thing is, as many of you know, I am employed at a dayschool. these people have been giving me crappy hours ever since I moved away to school. They only give me the afternoon 3-hour shifts. I made sure to call them over Spring Break, thinking that if I told them that I would be available all summer, I would be able to secure better hours this time.
Nope.
Again, they have given me only 15 hrs/week.
I'm so ticked. I'm graduating at Christmas and I NEED the money; I can't work during Student Teaching. I think I'd like to quit.
On the one hand, I have a 15 hr/week job secured. I've been with the school for 3 years and they're depending on me to be there for those 3 hours/day (there are 2 teachers in each room at all times; I am needed). I guess I could theoretically only tell The Bear Mill I'm only available in the mornings on weekdays and all day Saturday.
On the other hand . . . I need better hours. I feel like the school is screwing me over because I went away to uni. If I tell TBM my availability, that may not be enough. I may not get the job,
Should I quit the school, or just keep both jobs? If I quit, what do I tell the school? What do I tell TBM about my situation/2 weeks notice if i do quit the school?
