When should you tell a prospective employer you have a vacation planned right after starting a new job? 🤔

This can feel tricky — you want to be honest, but you also don’t want to ruin your chances before you’ve even received an offer.

In this video, we’ll walk you through exactly when and how to tell an employer about your upcoming vacation plans — without guilt, apology, or stress.

You’ll learn:
✅ The right timing to disclose a planned trip during the interview or hiring process
✅ How to bring it up confidently once you’ve received the offer
✅ What to say (and what not to say) so it feels professional and easy
✅ What possible outcomes to expect — from a simple start-date delay to a no-big-deal “enjoy your trip!”

Remember, most candidates have vacations planned — and it’s completely normal. The key is communicating at the right time and in the right way.

If you’re navigating job interviews, job offers, or negotiating start dates, this video will help you handle the conversation like a pro.
