Re: Asking for a vacation in new jobs

If you choose not to tell them up front that you're gone after two months, then that most likely means that you're also choosing not to use them as a future reference.

Nevertheless, it's not impossible to get a busy time off shortly after starting a new job, though my circumstances may have been more valid than yours. I'm going to school in a different city from home, and I live in my school's residence. They kick us out of residence during winter break, so I had to fly home for the break. I started a job (fashion retail) at the beginning of November, and at the interview I told them that I wouldn't be here for the holidays, and they hired me anyway.
