Partial exclusion of capital gains

We will be moving 500 miles away and I will be starting a new job.  According to pub 523 we are eligible for a partial exclusion of the gain on our home.  
I am close to retirement age, and want to know if there is a TIME REQUIREMENT that I must work at the new job to use this exclusion?  If I only work at the new job for a few months, would the exclusion be tossed out?
