You are saying you haven't even started working there yet, and you to arrange time off?
It might cost you the job. If it was a really family thing that has been arranged for some time you might ask. If it's a concert, sporting event or anything of that nature, I wouldn't hire you, if you even asked.
In reality, get the job and feel things out. Perhaps after you make a few friends, you might be able to get someone to cover for you, or the boss is a lot nicer guy than I am.
Is it normal to ask for time off in advance?
