In your answer do not word the situation as you have here, it could come across as lazy and whinging (I'm not saying you are only that a potential employer might perceive it that way). So be prepared for this question to appear in all your interviews and have your answer ready. However in terms of putting it on your resume there is one consideration you need to be aware of- Such a short engagement will ring an alarm bell for your next interviewers and they will want to know what happened. There is no stigma attached to resigning during your probation period, as nvoight mentions, that is what it is there for. In the UK that means providing a written resignation letter. So go through your usual resignation process, whatever that is, once you are ready. I'm not sure which jurisdiction you are in so there might be local effect, but here in the UK resigning during your probation is just like resigning at any other time, except the notice period is a LOT shorter. If i quit during my probation based on this, will i be giving a bad impression? Will it reflect badly if i were to put it in my resume? I have my own reception duties too and honestly do not have as much time as HR to do the Overtime. It's already June today and i am barely halfway done. I have already approached my HR telling her that it is too much work as compared to manually calculating it, but she told me "It's very easy, won't take much time!" (lol right) And after that, i have to check the Overtime details in the excel sheet with the Overtime cards the workers submitted.
Which means i am required to key in 500+ workers x 31 days, into the excel sheet. (note that we have around 500 over workers in each project, and 95% of the workers do Overtime daily) Now I am required to key in the Overtime details, WORKER BY WORKER into the excel sheet. My HR suddenly decided that it's too much work to calculate it manually and decided to use Excel instead. During the first month, we calculated it manually. I am required to help out on the Overtime calculation of our workers.
But since the second month started, things started getting out of hand. The first month was okay, everything was under control. My HR also told me that i will need to help out with some HR duties during my interview, i agreed. Are there anything i need to note about quitting during probation? I am currently still on a 3 month probation on my new job, but am planning on quitting as the work load is unbearable.
