Long story short, I've been employed at the shop I currently work at since the end of October. It's ok, but won't serve much purpose other than a reference when I'm gone. I'm also getting steadily fed up with certain critical aspects of the job. I also volunteer at my local theatre, and may be able to get employment over December there. It would be for a higher wage, I enjoy it alot more and it fits more closer with the kind of career path I want to pursue.

However, my current contract runs until mid Jan, and I want to leave on a good note if I get offered the other job and accept.

Any advice woul be greatly appreciated.

I would stick out the course of the contract. Good karma and all that. [Smile]

Explain the terms of your current contract to your potential employer. They may be willing to work with you.

Example: J was working for Walmart, and had been there long enough to qualify for a shareholder's check for about $700, provided he was there on January 31st. He had applied for a position with a different retail establishment in October, and they'd filled the position. When that person didn't pan out, they called him shortly after Christmas. When he explained that yes, the extra $1 an hour would be nice, but he didn't want to walk away from $700, they held the position for him on the condition that he came in for at least one or two hours a week for training.
