I was salaried and did lots of overtime. Two days before the weekend, the boss told me I had to work THAT weekend. When reminded that I could not possibly give more advanced notice than two months, the boss grudgingly took "my" shift. I was gone by spring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33004692.post-38519794407867349542008-09-10T16:10:00.000+02:002008-09-10T16:10:00.000+02:00I'd be more concerned with a 2 week vacation than ...I'd be more concerned with a 2 week vacation than 2-3 days off. I started off my first official job with the need to attend my own graduation in May (I was one of the weirdos who graduated early in Dec). This is big and something I can imagine not too difficult to accomodate given the proper notice, unless you're working for a small shop with only a handful of employees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33004692.post-30137232855854736142008-09-09T18:40:00.000+02:002008-09-09T18:40:00.000+02:00If they want you, they will accommodate your reque...If they want you, they will accommodate your request.

But do be prepared for a possible no...if they have a hard time staffing in late December and have had to tell current employees "no" for that week off, they may not be able to grant your request. <BR/><BR/>My best advice: once you are offered the position, THEN tell them about the time off. DO NOT ACCEPT AND THEN BRING UP THE TIME OFF. That move (given the time of year you are asking for the time off) can seem a bit manipulative. We had a candidate try and negotiate salary after accepting, and we rescinded the offer because it showed poor judgement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33004692.post-13307513565831736462008-09-09T14:49:00.000+02:002008-09-09T14:49:00.000+02:00I was in this position a few years ago.

Normally I wouldn't have even considered taking time off so soon into a new job, but it was impossible to postpone the wedding at that point, and a honeymoon is a once in a lifetime thing. So is a graduation.<BR/><BR/>(Okay, so I've had two honeymoons, but I really MEANT to only get married once!)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I was young and inexperienced and did mention it in the interview. We were discussing vacation time, and it just sort of slipped out. But it was fine - most employers are going to be so happy to find someone who otherwise fits their needs that they're not going to sweat a few days for an important life event. Just like EHRL said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
