Why not be honest? Maybe the job just wasn't for you or not what you expected. Maybe the stress of the job was more than you can handle or the job isn't challenging enough. You have to take care of yourself and it may be more detrimental to you in the long-run to stay in something that you don't like.

This depends on your situation, you could let your employers know that you appreciate the opportunity to work for them but it is not working for you. Whether it be due to hours, employees, or the job itself, let your employer know so they can address your concerns before you try and quit the job. They may be able to work with you and address the concern(s) you have.

Be honest. It's the best way to go about things. Tell them exactly why you want/need to leave. It's better to quit now rather than keep working when you won't be happy.

If you think thats not good to continue then its better to quit.But anything in our life should be faced. Most things seems to not correct at starting.but you can build the thing to best level.you can also gain experience from those things.

If I couldn’t handle a job anymore, I would try to speak to my supervisor about how to make my work experience better, but if nothing could be done and I really couldn’t handle it anymore, then I would just say I needed to have those needs met and I’ll have to look elsewhere to have my certain needs met. Your needs when it comes to a job are more important than being kept at a job that’s giving you too much stress than you can handle.

Resign tactfully. Don't burn any bridges. ... Be honest and apologetic. Don't make weak excuses that you think will make your boss feel empathy for you. ... Give proper notice. You'll want to do this with plenty of time for them to find someone else. ... Consider that you might be asked to stay. ... Think harder next time.

It can be difficult quitting a job when you first started because you typically will fear looking bad. In my opinion it doesn't matter when you intend to leave the job anyways. You can either apologize and say something came up, or the arrangement isn't working, or if there's a real serious reason for your quitting and you feel comfortable sharing it stating that!

From personal experience I would always suggest to just be as honest about the situation as possible, as much as you're comfortable with sharing. You have to tell them the reason why you want to quit what you just started. Maybe you need a mental health break or the job just really isn't working out well.

Say that you had a pleasure to do this kind of job but it's just not for you, you are not finding yourself in it. And say that you are thankful for oportunity.

Sometimes, a job you wanted or applied for is not how you expect it to be. Your vision of it was very different, and you feel that it is not the right place to you. It might be very difficult to tell this to the superiors in the right way, without sounding too arrogant. However, without communication, they will never now how you feel about your new job, and that you want to quit and try something different. The most important key is honesty. Tell them your perspective on the matter in a way that will make them understand your position. Remember, while you might not be interested in the job, someone else are!
