Part time Job Dilemma
So here's my little situation.
I applied to The Source (kinda like Best Buy and Future Shop) early August and last Saturday they set up an interview for me on Tuesday and obviously I said yes. I already did the job screening so if I do well on this interview then I get the job. Now while I was waiting for that call back I applied to Jamba Juice last Wednesday. On that same day they called me back and set up an interview for the next day. It went well and pretty much right after The Source called me for an interview Jamba Juice said they wanted to hire me and start my training tomorrow.
I really want to work at The Source, but I don't know what to say to the guys at Jamba Juice. Btw this is my first job. The benefits seem a lot better at The Source as well and so does the pay. The only downside it's not for sure, but very likely while Jamba Juice I'm already hired.
TL;DR I got hired at Jamba Juice and start tomorrow. I got called in for an interview at The Source. What do I do? Any advice? How could I let Jamba Juice down easy and professionally if I choose to go with The Source.
Oh yeah I start university in two weeks. Everything is happening so fast.
Edit: I don't know if it matters, but the locations of each work place are in the same mall.

[quote=Snooki]about a month ago i went out handing resumes and got a call from Quiznos for an interview, got hired and worked for about a week
later I got a phone call from forever 21 [i really wanted to work n retail] for a immediate job offer, and i took up the offer
honestly i would go work at Jamba Juice for now if i were you, but if you get a call from the Source for a job, take up on that offer and quit Jamba Juice
i felt bad for working for Quiznos for a short amount of time, but it was well worth it in the end, lol ;P[/quote]
Seems like we were pretty much in the same situation. This relieves some stress. Looks like I'll be staying at Jamba Juice and if I get an offer at The Source I'll just switch over!

Alright thanks for your insight! In regards to your hot chick question wellll I'm a guy LOL During the interview though the assistant manager ( a girl) said that the only other guy working there would be the manager.

Personally I'd go for the Source job. If you want to tell Jamba Juice, just let them know you were offered a better job and are taking it. They should understand.

How should I give the news to Jamba Juice? I feel bad for wasting their time on training me.
take the jamba juice job until you are 100% certain you will get the source job.
[quote=NarwhalNarwhals]Id take the job i have now. What if you dont get the Source job.[/quote]
Jamba Juice is guaranteed and The Source is almost guaranteed. The manager that did my job screening said I pretty much have then job if I don't royally mess up my interview.
