Job Interview Questions: Mentioning enlisting in the military at a job interview?

Mentioning enlisting in the military at a job interview?
I hope to move away from California to Utah. I hope to line up some job interviews and do my best on them. Therefore, should I mention to my prospective employer that I plan on enlisting in the United States Marine Corps and be working with them for about a year? Im talking perhaps a fast food place or a supermarket or a store at the mall or something. Nothing deeply professional becauase im only 18.
(fyi, thats the wait time to got to boot camp)

Recommended Answer:
Not unless you are trying not to get hired?

No employer wants to hear that, even in dead end jobs. They want to hear that you will be there as long as they want you to be.

Don't mention it. . .just give them two weeks notice before you leave.

What to Say During a Job Interview: 3 Steps to Interview Answers That Will Get You Hired


  • Just dont bother telling them.
    They dont need to know. And could hurt you in getting a job.
    They will think your just going to get up and leave when ever.
    No job really needs to know your joining the military till 2 weeks before you leave

  • Dont, employers dont want people who arnt dedicated or want to be in the company as a career. Just dont mention it and when the time comes leave.

    They will likely find a reason not to hire you if you tell them imo
