Unfortunately I cannot continue working my overnight shift at walmart because of college starting in the fall. I was wondering what kind of effect this would have with any of my future job opportunities/offers/qualifications.

There's not an employer in the world who'd frown upon someone resigning from a night job for the purpose of resuming school.

As long as you give notice (at least 2 weeks), you should be fine

This. Trust me, a future employer is not likely to call Walmart to check on you because the turnover there is crazy. Just quit and don't worry about it.

Give them 1 weeks notice then, you'll be fine. Any future employer won't give a crap about it, you'll have graduated college ffs, thats MUCH MORE IMPORTANT!

yeah? I still feel mad shi*** though. But they did **** me on my vaca. I told these guys before I was hired i was going to FLA and asked if it would be an issue. They said no and when i put in the time off request they showed their true colors. Doesn't matter because i was quitting because of school. It was my plan anyway...to do the job and quit.

Doubt your next potential employer would call up Walmart, Walmart like any other retail store have high turnover rate. So you should be in the clear.

You are putting way too much thought into quitting this level of job.

As long as you were a good employee there should be little to no trouble. Just remind your employer before you start and be honest to why you can't continue your job. They should understand.

@majadamus, I reallllllllyyyyyyyyy never thought of it like that haha. Thanks though and @ bluestorm, that's the plan. I'm pre-law and its my first semester and I dont know how I should study really in college. I wanna start off good so I don't fall in the same trap I did in High School.

With Walmart I'd imagine many companies out there would look at it as a temporary gig, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

However, instead of quitting the job I'd consider changing shift first if possible, you'd get more income and having some work experience (albeit even with Walmart) should help you with your next job search. If you have a great relationship with your supervisor he/she can even bea reference for you

Yeah dude I had a job at Baskin Robbins and when I was talking to the owner (who answered) I told her that I had to take the day off because something came up in school that I had no control over. She got upset and quit right there on the phone with here. :lol:

If you were just a stocker or something then its not that big a deal. If you were a manager that might be different but it is still Walmart we are talking about here. Any notice is better than no notice.

I agree. Doesn't seem like a bad move in my opinion.
