<prompt> Human: I will be 16 soon and that means that im expected to find a job and start working. Our family is taking a vacation at the end of July for about a week. Im curious how I should talk to my employer most likely fast food or retail about taking a week off shortly after I start working.  <response>: If you get a job offer, talk to them about it then. They will usually ask when you can start. Tell them that you have a family vacation coming up in about 6 weeks so you can start now and then take the vacation or you can start after your vacation.
