Hello! I am about to finish my studies, but still have my exams to pass, that is why I want to find part time job as a shop assistant. But sometimes I will have to take a day off to prepare for the exam. Do you think it is a good idea to start working now and it can be ok with the company to give me a couple of days off or it is better to finish my studies first and then to start working? Thank you

Hello everyone! Maybe some of you have the same experience and can help me to resolve my doubts, I would really appreciate it. So my question is the following. I've been working as a shop assistant part time for 2 months and now I want to speak with my boss and ask him if I can start working full time. But I am afraid that he won't let me do it and it can cause problems in the future. He prefers to take people for half a day because it is cheaper for him. So maybe if I tell him that I want to work full time I will lose my job! Help please!
