planning a trip overseas but still job hunting what to say at interview?
My family are planning a trip to visit the family over in Europe for about a week during the xmas holiday. I am a full time college student and will have vacation then (be between semesters) but I have an on-going search for a job. We kinda need to book the tickets fairly soon but would a trip ruin my chances at getting a job? I am sure this has happened before, what have you done, what should I do? Just get the tickets and tell them right off in the interview?
Thanks!
You should be up-front about it, but it doesn’t have to be the first topic at the interview. I would invest time in the interview convincing them you are the best person for the job. If you’re a good fit for the company and they want you they will do what they can to accommodate.
