Hi, I've been working for 3 months under probation now. In the contract it states 14 weeks notice if i wish to leave the company. Actually my position now is as a retail officer. It's just a small company with less than 10 ppl working there, each individual holding different position except for a few sales marketing staff. Sometimes I just feel that there's nothing much I can do or learn there. There's not much business everyday. I'm the only person handling the showroom. My colleagues always thought that i'm so free and they always throw for me document typing job or just simple task. It makes me feels like I'm just a helper of everyone or office girl. Cause if I just do whatever stated in my job scope, really nothing much can keep me busy with my daily task. I'm quite free, until my colleague starts throwing part of their job to me. I'm not really learning from them as I just helped a little bit here and there. I don't know if I should treat this as "do more learn more"? Feels like being used by them and learning nothing. Plus, my salary is quite low there. Everyday I'll be sitting in the showroom alone doing my job. I'm not really that close with my colleagues there, not that I can sit with them everyday and talk. But they're nice ppl. My manager has been always motivating me and he seems like put so much hope in me. Now that I'm thinking of leaving this company, I feel so bad and doesn't know what reason to give him to resign?

If he asked me why I wanna leave my current job, is it ok that i tell the truth?
- I'm seeking for more challenges and would like to learn more things from this company (as supply chain exec)
- I can have my own work to do rather than being asked to do others paperwork/document typing?
- I can work in teams rather than working alone?


I'm afraid that he won't let me go and want me to stay longer than 2 weeks. =(

lol i don't think i can get that company cause they need someone who knows how to read in Mandarin in this customer service position as their headquarter is in Hongkong. Anyway, I got a call from another company. She offered me to this graduate training program around 2k per month. She mention I may get promoted as permanent staff there. Which means, i may become unemployed after the 6 months I don't wanna be unemployed after 6 months, will i? They trained me for 6 months, will they just ignore me after the end of the program? But they had spend 6 months to train me, sure got chance to be permanent staff there with higher salary right? =( aiyo frustrated.. should i take this opportunity to learn? that company really is a good company which provides lots of benefits, but in this program, benefits are those i mentioned above only.

** One more quest. If i accept this graduate training programme, how should I tell my manager that I wish to resign? Should I discuss with him first or at least let him know before I give him resign letter? Or straight give the letter to HR dept / manager??
