Job Interview Questions: Ask for time off during a job interview?

I have a job interview...problem is later in the month I already made plans to go somewhere around new years (the place is open during new years) would it be acceptably to say those I'm busy those days during the interview?

I made the reservations three weeks after the application and I thought I wouldn't get interviewed.

whats the best way to say it without turning off the boss

Honey, you don't ask, you tell. Just tell them you have already made plans for this period of time and you won't be able to come to work. They will understand and make provisions for it. They have lives and families too! :)

Job Interviews -- The Real Reasons Why You Need to Follow Up

• wait til the middle of the interview and if you think things are going well then bring it up. just casually say that you already had a vacation planned that you cant get out of but would be happy to start work right after it. if the boss really wants to hire you then it shouldnt be a dealbreaker he or she will still want you to work for them


• I do not think you will get the job if you tell them you have a trip planned. I would expect you to cancel it , if I were the employer times are tough and I have other people who want the job more than you do.


• If they ask you when you could start, select a day after your holiday. You can say that you have commitments until after that time.
