I just accepted a new job after applying to 119 positions, and I'm feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. I'm 18 and finally landed this opportunity, but I realized that I have a preplanned trip just 16 days after starting. I didn’t mention this during the informal interview because I thought I would have a more formal second interview, but I ended up receiving the job offer over the phone. Now, I’m worried that I might have overlooked mentioning my absence in my application. This trip is important as I'm visiting a family member in the hospital, and I feel guilty for potentially causing issues for my new manager. I plan to inform them tomorrow, but I'm struggling with anxiety and overthinking due to a past negative experience with a boss who laid me off under stressful circumstances. I’m unsure how to communicate this situation without sounding unprofessional. Any advice on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated.
