So I bump up in the following example and I struggle to understand the usage
of 先. In this example, a boy meets his mother and he is angry about what she
did.

```

    勝手に俺の履歴書使ってパート先のスーパーに出しただろう
    
```

Form [this question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/25239/why-
is-%E5%85%88-needed-
in-%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB%E3%83%90%E3%82%A4%E3%83%88%E5%85%88%E3%81%A7) I
understood that it used to mark a place, but when do I need to use it? Isn't
kind of obvious that we are talking about the supermarket workplace?

If I would say `勝手に俺の履歴書使ってパートのスーパーに出しただろう` it wouldn't be the same?

Thanks, Or.

When I need to use 先 to mark a place?
You are seeing the right question. 先 is a suffix that forms a noun that refers
to a place. パート先 refers to one's workplace where they work part-time.

This の indicates パート先 and スーパー are in apposition, i.e., her workplace **is**
the supermarket. See: [What's the difference between 日本人の学生 and 日本の学生
?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/40892/5010)

Without 先, パートのスーパー doesn't make much sense because "part time job" is not a
"supermarket" itself. Of course "part time job" cannot own a supermarket,
either. In reality, パートのスーパー, バイトのピザ屋 and so on might be sometimes used if
you're speaking very informally and there is enough context, but it's normally
safer to add 先.
