Interview Boss How to bring up a planned vacation in your job search
To tell your new possible future employer that you will need to take a week off in three weeks can be a big stumbling block in the job application. Will it be a deal breaker? Will they let you go on the holiday?!
In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma reassure you that it is okay to talk about it and in fact, it’s better to discuss it upfront so you can avoid any awkward conversations later on. We even do some role plays so you can hear how this conversation might sound.
🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Cole. “Hello, Sarah and Emma! I just graduated with my MBA, and I have been listening to your podcast on Spotify for the past two months (yes, I have listened to every episode!). I have had panel interview after panel interview, but don’t worry, I brought my notepad (even if it was on zoom 🤪). I want to thank you both so much, because I just got offered my dream job at my dream company in my dream city, and they paid me 15% more than I asked for! I’m going to be transitioning from graduate school to literally building space stations and space shuttles! I couldn’t have done it without the two of you!”
