Hi everyone,

I am in a dilemma. I recently accepted a job as a head teacher in an after school program and have already worked one day of the job. The hours are 4-8pm. I will be graduating with my degree and teaching certification in May. I thought that I would take the job as extra experience to put on my resume but I already volunteer at my local public school once a week and I have other experience working with children.

Anyway, I thought that I would enjoy the job and the hours but on the first day, I felt bored and unmotivated to be there. My position was to plan activities with two assistants but they were not ready to plan anything since they have done without planning and had no interest. I felt as if I was there just to babysit and watch the children instead of interacting with them.

Don't know what to do. I'm not happy about the hours either. I get home late and DH is already tired so we woun't be getting to see much of each other and that is also bothering me. Dh says to quit and not worry that something else will come up. I feel like I need to get a part-time job during the day.

What will I do and what will I say to the woman who hired me? I will be quiting after one day of work! I feel really bad about doing this. Any suggestions???

Cabje, it's up to you to take the initiative and start the ball rolling.

Thanks for your reply. I understand what you are saying and you are right, however, I have decided to quit because I am really not happy about the hours as I want to spend quality time with my DH because I go to school on the weekends. I have decided that I will search for a little part-time job during the daytime.
