Hi everyone
Was wondering if anyone has any information which could possibly help me..
I very shortly have a job interview at my local university. The job is a great opportunity for me, I've wanted to get out of dead end jobs since finishing my degree and I have finally been offered an interview for a role I can really see myself thriving in!
The only thing is, whilst preparing for the interview today it states the following:
" term-time only contracts do not have an annual leave entitlement during term-time; they
have 12 weeks of leave per annum and the equivalent holiday entitlement is factored into the
monthly salary)"
This role is only term time, and I wouldn't usually have an issue with this at all, but my partner has already booked me a very special 10 day holiday for my 30th birthday, he has already put a lot of time and money towards it and it's something we've been looking forward to and have planned for a LONG time..
So my question is whether you think my potential employer would handle a pre-booked holiday differently? And would mentioning it put me at a massive disadvantage compared to other candidates?
Presently I feel really torn between a fantastic career ( If I get the job!) and a holiday of a lifetime which we have already invested so much time and money in! I know one is a long term goal, and the other is just a holiday but I really want to think of way of potentially keeping both.
Thank you in advance
