When does your vacation start?

Hi AM monkeys:

I was wondering if you can tell me when does your Christmas vacation start this year? I'm an undergrad who's trying to go in for an interview--the HR asked me what is the best time, and I want to make sure that I go in before people started to leave for vacations.

Thanks!

monkeyattackis it frowned upon if you take advantage of all your vacation days during your first year with a company? I mean they don't carry over year to year but taking 3 weeks off seem excessive no?

ask around, it varies hugely from company to company. Some places expect you to take it off because they understand you're a human and need time off in order to perform your work optimally. Others see holidays as a sign of weakness and lack of commitment to the job.
