[quote=Anonymous]Hi all. I am currently unemployed and interviewing for my next nanny position. The only issue is, I have a 2 week family trip to Europe currently planned for May. Normally, I would never think of going on vacation so soon after starting a new position. But, this is an almost once in a lifetime opportunity, is already booked, and paid for (family is paying). So not going is not an option. The question is when to tell potential new employer about said trip? The options are:

A. During the interview
B. Once an offer is made
C. After starting work

I am leaning towards B because I wouldn't want telling them about it during our interview to jeopardize my chances of getting the job. I also think it would be rude to wait until after starting work to tell them, because it would seem I am not being honest upfront about it. Do you all agree?

And PS - I am willing to take the time off unpaid, since it will be so soon after starting the new position, and the family will likely need to hire temporary help since it is 2 full weeks.

Thanks everyone![/quote]
