What to say when quitting my job?
I'm 16, and I currently work as a hostess at a seafood restaurant. I've worked there for two months, it's my first job, but I've hated it pretty much from the start, and have a found a new job which I start this Tuesday.
I plan on quitting today over the phone. Not professional, I know, but its a restaurant, not a corporate business firm or something. I'm terrified of what to say, and how to say it. Any advice?

Please don't do it by phone. You will need a good reference for your next job. |

Scary to do, but just tell them the truth. Tell them how you found a new job and when you start. Usually, you should give a two-weeks notice, but you're 16 and it's your first job. Who cares? |

Always quit a job in a professional way because you never know when you're going to need a reference. |

Life is a BULLY! |
You are supposed to give 2 weeks' notice so since you've already botched that, at least have the decency to show up in person to quit. |

Just call and be polite. Tell them you thank them for the opportunity but feel the job isn't right for you and you won't be returning. Pretty simple. |

Just tell them that another opportunity has presented itself that you feel is a better fit for you. Don't worry about their reaction. Just be polite about it so your reference will stay intact. |

I would advise you to give at least a week notice because you never know if you would have to return to that job to work. |

You should have at least given a two week notice and I don't suggest that you do it over the phone but if that's what you want to do... |
