Quick interview question

When I interview, do I mention my wedding and the 2 week honeymoon? Or do i wait until I am hired?

wait until they offer you the job and then accept the offer on the condition that you're approved for the time off

thats a tough question, but i would probably mention it. i wouldnt want them to think i was holding back, considering ur getting married in 5 months

Yes, as someone who interviews candidates, definitely do not say anything until you have the job interview.

They better not ask you about your e-ring because it is illegal!

Whenever I have interviewed for a job and I have a vacation planned, I wait until they make me an offer.

My friend just got a new job and is getting married in April. She mentioned it to them because she saw the interview going well. They appreciated her honesty and got off on the right foot and her bosses told her they have more respect for her by being upfront. Just let them know that you are getting married and you might need to take vacation time around the wedding.

Good Luck on your interview!

I def agree - they shouldn't be asking you anything about your marital status, and when they give you an offer, you can negotiate the vacation time around your wedding.

I wouldn't bring it up - and it really shouldn't be an issue unless you only get like 2 weeks vaca and your honeymoon is more than that.

If you are using a recruiter, they can negotiate for you - I've done that for a past job where I had a vaca planned.

I am in the same predicament and i was thinking about telling them during the interview actually. god forbid i got hired , and then i tell them i need 2+ weeks off , they may tell me sorry you can have the job. Its not like I didnt know I am getting married in a few months ya know.....
