How should I resign from a job I am still orienting to?
I hate my job. I will never work there again. I will never work in the same profession again, for that matter. I am in orientation. A two week notice would be ridiculous to offer. "Um, yes, I will be leaving in two weeks and I am offering you my time so that you may pay me to orient, even though I'm quitting." Besides not giving a two week notice, I am not showing up tonight. I am debating on E-mailing my resignation or handing it to the secretary to put in the Director of Nursing's box. Any thoughts on quitting a shitty job or responses to anything I've written here? TIA
Should I tell the recruiter I haven’t resigned yet?
Having a better offer whilst still employed is the most common reason to resign, so not a worry.Rather than tell the recruiter you haven’t resigned, you state your notice period. It is clear you are still employed if your availability is not ‘immediate’.Good luck with your new job!
Is it bad for my resume if I resign when I haven't found new job yet?
Not if your mental and physical health are being depleted by the job and you need to resign for your sanity and well being.AS a Career Coach in outplacement, I am a promoter of well being. If you start to fail mentally and physically, it can spiral out of control. I deal with people who have been laid off so they were forced out of the their role but many are relieved because they were worked to death before receiving their layoff notification. You do not want to get to the point where you are so miserable and it’s affecting your health, family, sleeping, eating, etc - so as long as you are not suffering those symptoms, there are other elements to consider before resigning.I always tell my clients though that if you are planning on resigning, do a financial analysis of your cash flow for yourself and your household.The #1 stress inducer is not making money while being unemployed - so if you cannot afford a quality of life that works for you while being out of work, I would say to look for a job while you’re still at the old job.Job Search Regrets and How to Avoid ThemSome easy things you can do while still working: 5 Ways to Control Your Job Search (and Accept What You Can't Control)Update your social profiles: Remove anything that is less than professional, and update your status regularly.

Is it unprofessional to apply for other jobs when you haven't resigned from your previous company?
No. How else will you find a new job? Be discreet, your current employer may retaliate or take offense to you looking elsewhere. Unless you are transferring within the same company, there is no need to notify your current employer until you have accepted a new position, and provide the customary two weeks notice of your departure. You are not obligated to share the name of your new employer or any other details. I once had a former manager call my new manager and lie and malign me out of spite. The spiteful manager has since been demoted, but not before she caused trouble for me and my former coworkers when we left her abusive management.
How do I list a reference if I haven't quit my job yet and that is my only job experience?
This is a tough situation, but almost everyone deals with it. Have you done internships in the past. Reach out to old bosses from that for reference. Have you worked jobs in high school or college? Reach out to those bossesTalk to professors. Its not a big deal. I'm sure the company must understand this issue if they are looking for someone with entry level experience. Good luck!
How do I quit a job I haven't started yet?
So I got hired to this store in the mall three weeks ago, and they have been delaying my first shift due to a new scheduling system or whatever, so I've only done paperwork but I haven't actually started yet, my first shift is next week. I recently got a call for an interview at a store that I applied to about a month ago. My interview was yesterday. I know a few people working there and they told me that this particular store pays very well, more than what my new job will pay me. So if I get a job offer there how do I quit my new job? Should I just call and say "thanks for everything but I found something else"?
How do I quit a job I haven't even started?
So when you accepted the first company’s offer, you didn’t really mean it? You only meant, I’ll take it until something better comes along?Well, if that is what your idea of integrity and keeping your word are, by all means go to the higher paying job. The first company thought that you meant what you said, and by quitting them you are protecting them from your inability to keep your word.Be very, very, careful, dating.
Should I quit my job? I haven't showed up in weeks?
I've been working at kohls for 6 months. Last day I worked was around 12/20 maybe a few days after. I believe I'm still employed because I still get payroll emails stating my hours for the week which have been 0 since I have howed up. I haven't showed up in over a week because I was sick and they haven't called me or anything. I started speaking to a coworker who told me they're most likely never going to fire me because they don't want to pay unemployment (which isn't a goal of mine I just don't want to be with the company anymore). I was first thinking about calling to give my resignation but I'm thinking about just going in to hand in a letter myself and empty out my locker. There might even be a day I had a missed punch. Should I go in and officially resign/quit or just leave it how it is? Not sure what to do... I kinda suffer from anxiety sometimes so the answer on what I should do isn't really that clear to me
