If you let them.know during the interview process about your vacation and they offer you the job it's on them


Yeah, but you're probably not the only person being interviewed so you're taking a risk bringing it up. That may be a determining factor if they hire you or the other candidate.

If you do not bring it up in the interview and then bring it up after hiring on then you should 100% not get the time off. That's dishonesty by omission.

If mentioning that I already have a planned family vacation takes me out of the running then that’s a blessing.


On the flipside, If I were the hiring manager, I would be a bit annoyed if you failed to disclose a planned trip until after you were hired.


I’ve weirdly had a planned trip fall in the first month of employment at my last 3 jobs. I always disclosed this during the interview process and I have never gotten any flack or pushback for it.

I didn’t bring it up during the interview but I told them about it when they sent an offer letter. They paid me for the week I took off to move between jobs and then a couple weeks later I took a week’s vacation. They’ve gotten my best foot forward since because that showed me a lot about their values.

If a company is worried that one person is going to take a vacation early in their job that they don't have, that company has deep issues.
