New on the job and scheduling/leave


Hi everyone, I'm currently searching for a job and I have 3 days (fri, sat, sun) in January I plan to take a trip. If I get hired will my employer let me have these days off? what I'm asking is can the scheduling be done so I don't work these days or would I be asking too much being a newbie? Also how soon after getting hired can you take leave? Should I just be upfront w/ employers that offer me a job that these 3 days in jan I would like to be off?? I need to know if I can schedule this trip now. Thank you!

Definitely be up front. If you let them know now, the scheduler can pencil in which days you're unavailable and hopefully it won't be a problem. If you wait, you might end up scrambling at the last minute to trade shifts.

Do not ask until you have been offered a job. Once you have been offered the job, let them know that you need those days off as a condition to your employment. I have never seen an employer turn down a reasonable request like yours.
