Start working on January 1st?
Hello, I'm unemployed this month and would like to start my new job next month. I'm just wondering if it's possible they'd like me to start on January 1st (I'm starting at a nursing home). I'd personally like to start work on January 6th, since that's a Monday, or January 2nd at the earliest. Can I tell my employer when I'd like to start without any problems, or will that make me unpopular?
You can say that without any problems, the time between 1.1 and 6.1. is not a time when you absolutely need new colleagues. If you have the feeling they might like to hire you earlier, but they also have no problem agreeing with you on the 6th.
Simply ask that you can often clarify with a simple conversation
If that’s so important to you, you have to address it. Otherwise I hope you realize that you will hardly have weekends and holidays free with this kind of work.
The 6th is the first regular working day. What’s stopping you?
