I was laid off from my job a few months ago and I've been a major procrastinator with applying for new ones. I had been finishing up a couple classes, so I wasn't in a super hurry to do it. I have a vacation coming up that's been planned and paid for a few months, but there's a few jobs that have recently popped up I'm interested in. I really want to submit my resume but I'm concerned they'll want to interview me while I'm gone. Should I be letting someone know I'll be gone for a certain period and, if so, how do i do that?

I am going on vacation in July, but I also have my Masters Degree in Criminal Justice, and have been researching jobs before I leave. Should I apply for jobs knowing that I will be leaving for a vacation in the latter half of July or wait until I return to apply?

Hello everyone I just interview for two companies they said they would give me an answer after Christmas. If hired I'm not sure if I should tell them that I have plans for an important two week trip before working????? The trip is in about 4 or 6 months....

I heard Chipotle is one of the only food service companies that offer p/t employees vacation time and I want to confirm if this is true before applying. Thanks.


Lost of job for excessive vacation usage. Didn't know you could loose your job for frequently using your vacation.
Ugh, sorry to hear you r dealing w this Corey. Usually employers have vaca policies associated w your employment agreement. If u violate them this could result in a termination. But for almost ANY infraction you should get a warning discussion of sorts. To b fired out- of - the - blue is abnormal and problematic for the employer. That said, i'd suggest chalking it up to a learning experience and focus on finding a new job w an employer that you can get aligned with regarding your work-life balance preferences. Always better looking forward rather than fighting backward. Sry this happened, but hoping you find an even better gig in Jobcase that u can b excited about. Good luck, ya got a lot of jobcasers rooting for u Fred
