It depends on your reasoning. However, I'd probably say that I don't believe that I'm complimentary to the job/environment, or that I don't believe that this is my area and it would be unenjoyable. Good luck!

You should say that you just can not find yourself in these place. Thank them for a chance and just politely tell them that you want to quit.

It is likely better for both sides that you don't let it boil up/get worse if you've already decided it's not for you. Make sure to say "thank you for your faith in me" or "thank you for the experience".

Just be honest. If it's not something that you like just tell them. It's always good to leave on good terms.

It may sound cliche but honesty really is the best policy. So for whatever reason, tell the truth. I recommend letting your employer know of your imminent departure face-to-face as it shows the respect you have for them.

The job isn't what you expected it to be. It doesn't improve or help you grow as a person and once you let go of it, you can pursue a career choice that will make you blossom spiritually and mentally.

You should always do a job that you love. Even a job isn't making you feel good than yes, maybe you should quit. You should your manager or your boss that this job isn't well suited for you. I good response would be something along the lines of, "I know I will not be able to work here, so I am letting you know in advance that you should hire someone else". It's good that you know you want to quit, and if you know that in your first few weeks of working..It will also be easier for your manager to understand. If you would like to talk about this with me, here is the link, I'd be more than happy to help https://www.7cups.com/110869482

The easiest statement would be, "Dear sir/madam, Please accept this letter as my resignation. This opportunity was very fulfilling and I have learned so much during my time at as employee at this establishment, but due to personal reasons I regret to inform you that I cannot work at this time. Thank you very much for all that you have done for me and thank you for your time and consideration." To be honest, looking at examples of resignation documents is very helpful to get an idea of what to say. Also, I recommend that you already have a job waiting for you or some sort of plan once you resign from your current job as it helps reduce the stress you may go through.

Just be honest! At one point or another, many of us have started a job and quickly realized that it was not right for us or received a better offer shortly after starting. Your first month at a company is meant to be a trial period for both you and your manager. If things are not working out, say that! They will respect you more for your honesty than if you were to just not show up one day. Just remember to remain respectful within your honesty and go out gracefully. Quitting can feel very awkward, but you must put yourself first.

Be polite, straight to the point and honest. Make sure you say it in a way that does not bash their company especially if you want them to still recommend you to other jobs!
