I have accepted three different retail job offers (Old Navy, Earthbound, and Dillard's) all within the last few weeks, and am seeking advice on how to manage them. I am moving into an apartment with my boyfriend in a few weeks, and long term also need to save up for another car and pay off school loans. This will be somewhat long term, probably only necessary for 6-8 months. Dillard's is my priority job and will be the only company employing me full time. The others will be 15-20 hours per week. Just looking for advice on how to talk to my employers about my situation, I don't want to lose employment with any of them!
