[quote=Anonymous]The other thread doesn't mention the type of job it is which really makes a big difference.  In almost any other job other than nannying, if you take time off your employer doesn't need to find someone to replace you for that time.  In some jobs someone else in the office might have to cover certain aspects of a job but for the most part, when someone is on vacation their job just doesn't get done.  Or if you work in retail or a restaurant there are plenty of people to cover you while you are away.

A nanny position is completely different.  Employers have to find backup care when you are away which is why it's more important to be upfront as early as possible.

I will also add I would have responded the exact same way on both threads.  I still think it's better to mention the vacation in the interview and it's what I've done myself in the past. If you wait until you are already hired and your employer is upset about it why would you set yourself up to work in that environment.  They are either going to care or they won't but they aren't going to care less if you wait to tell them.[/quote]
