Hi I have job pending medical but on holiday 3rd week of training do u think that matters
Yes, it does matter. If you cannot complete the whole course in one go, tell them before it starts. Every TOC I have applied with provided a opportunity to declare any commitments - why didn't you tell them when you had the interview or accepted the job?
Probably for fear of the employer looking negatively at it which I think is understandable.
In any case, if they haven't specifically asked the question or stated when the training starts then I certainly wouldn't volunteer the information.
How about letting someone else who isn't going to mess the company around have the job? I have no doubt the TOC would have asked for details of any outstanding commitments - given that railway jobs tend to be oversubscribed, they can and will find someone who is honest and committed to the job - unless perhaps the holiday is being taken for bereavement/compassionate reasons.
I was never asked (either on application or interview) if I had any holiday booked. As I said, if they don't ask I don't tell and its hardly messing the company around.
Its a bit different if they do ask and you say you haven't any commitments when you actually do.
This is interesting as I'm awaiting on an application for the trainee jobs at Blackpool and I have a honeymoon booked for mid August. I wonder if the Mrs would mind if I was to cancel it?![]()
Massive failure on the part of HR for them not to check!!
Not sure what I'd fear the most.,attending the interviews/assessments etc or telling her the honeymoon is off! (Takes a big gulp)!!
Your Money or your Wife?
I know what I would chose!
