About to start pharmacy school, how to resign from part-time job?

[PharmlyDoc]

I work at a ymca, and have been working there part time for 7 years (since i was 16). I've wanted to quit for the last year, but needed the money (what little money it paid). I've also been working as a part-time pharmacy technician for a chain for the past 5 months.

I don't see myself working at the ymca once I officially start pharmacy school, I need to move on. And the only time I could work there is during breaks when I'm back in my home-town.

I guess I have anxiety about leaving since I've worked there since I could legally work, how do I inform my boss that I'm resigning (via email)? I've already hinted to her in person this past fall that I planned on leaving.

I wouldn't worry about stepping on any toes. No manager would actually expect a young, student, part-time employee to stay there until retirement. I would do it in person as a professional courtesy. Just ask your general manager or whoever is in charge to schedule a sit-down. Just tell them that you're moving away for school and be respectful. It's time for you to move on, and they should understand that.

As for working during breaks, I would do that a pharmacy if at all possible. No one will ever care about your part time job at the Y once you start school.

If they know you got into school, they should assume you will leave. Don't do it over email. Just walk into their office and tell them, and give them at least two weeks notice. This is a very common, normal thing.

Talked to my boss in person this afternoon. She put me down as available for rehire if I should ever decide to return.

i'd probably keep the job so you have a place to work after pharmacy school

Lol I totally agree. As a matter of fact, that's not a bad Plan A. Right now you have no loans, great hours, no stress, weekends off and great vacation. You're ahead of the game. Anyone who considers going to pharmacy school in this supersaturated market..............
