How long after orentation do you start working for the company?

Question

I was wondering, because I start my new employee orentation today, but I've got a small vacation planned this weekend, and also in July with my family. Should I tell them once I get to orentation?

Answer 1

I would be more serious about wanting the job. You want to be hired, and then request off a few days right of the bat?! IMO, that doesn't sound like a dedicated and interested person to me. As for how long? Training, and then working your position.

Answer 2

Usually just after orientation is training, then placement.

How serious are you about wanting this job?

Sounds like you have a decision to make,

longtime job income security or short-time  fun vacation.  

Some Companies can be flexable and or understanding  if your up front & explain '1' of them was "planned",  and make an allowance for it, 'but  2 ' ? don't count on it.

They c/ see you as a potential absenteeism problem & send you on your way, "keeeping those who are more serious about working and wanting job security."
