I've been working at a hair salon for 6 months now, and now I'm applying at other places. I got an interview for a restaraunt and a hair/tanning salon on the same day.. one at 3:15 one at 5. I would rather work at either one of the intervviews i have. So, i have 2 questions
1) What is a good way to give my two-week notice?2) What do I do if the first place offers me a job? What do i say?
please help =]

This give you time to go to the other interview, then see which one you like the best without having to accept the first job. If something turns out and you don't like one of the new jobs, you can always go to the other place but if you promised you would work there then go to the other job, that first place won't try to hire you again because you already made yourself look un-trust worthy ya know. (hope that wasn't to confusin' lol) As far as giving a two week notice -which I always hated having to do- there is no good way to tell someone hey, I don't want to work here anymore lol the best thing you can say is just I'm sorry but as of September 20th, I want be able to work here anymore. I have enjoyed my job and the people I worked with, but am sad to say "I'll be moving" "Work is coming inbetween my studies" "My mom want's me to concentrate more on school because my grades have been dropping" "I found another job with better pay"
Now, just find an "excuse" and there ya go. Hope I Helped Ya'.

Even if the first place offers you a job, go to the second interview anyway, just to see what they have to offer too. And then you can choose which one you want to work at. Hope this helped!
