Actually your less than 8 months away...I probably would have told them. I am in the job hunting proccess also and I plan on letting them know.
I work freelance. Yesterday I went for a job interview and although I told them that I was getting married next year I didn't feel it relevant to tell them I'll be requesting time off. If I were to get the job I'd accrue enough holiday by the time my wedding comes around to book the time off.
I'd wait and see if you get the job. If you do then go and speak to whomever you will be reporting to on your first day and tell them about your impending wedding.
i got a job offer while engaged. i wore my ring thro the whole process so i wasn't hiding anything. when i got my job offer i told them that we had already set dates for the wedding and honeymoon. i gave them the exact dates i would need of. that wasn't a problem. job offer was in late feb, i started in march, wedding was in sept. i actually had to take a wk off in may for an engagement party trip that i told them about when i signed on as well.
But wouldn't it be illegal for them to not hire me because I'm engaged and will need time off for the wedding? Just like it would be illegal not to hire a pregnant person? I just didn't think it was relevant to the job and I will accrue enough vacation time by then to take the 10 days.
Some jobs it takes at least 6 months to acrue that much vaca time....and usually for the summer months vacation needs to be submitted months in advance, so just think ahead
I would let them now as soon as they offer you the job!
I have done it many times before (not my wedding but pre-planned vacations) and it has never been a problem but I think it is good to be upfront and it is likely to be unpaid!
Well, it definitely won't be unpaid since I will accrue the days before the wedding. My plan is to call my manager once the background check goes through and let him know. He did see my ring during the interview, so I'm sure he's aware.
Haha, hey Marjojo you found my post! :)
I guess i should give an update: Not only did the boss not mind and expect me to be taking a ton of time off for the wedding, my boss's boss also gave me the green light to take as much as I needed and he would sign off on it and I didn't even ask! I feel so blessed. They wanted me very badly and made such a generous offer right away and now are being very supportive of my situation. I think invitations to the wedding are in order ;)
That's great that it worked out for you. I started a new job while engaged, but we didn't even have a date picked yet when I started. It ended up that we didn't get married until I had already been at the job for 1.5 years, so then there was no problem about the time off. For others, I'd just be upfront about it, most people will understand.
I just got a baby sitting job to save a little money for the wedding. I don't have to request time because the girl I baby sit for is a grad student and her semester will be over by the time of my wedding....
I got hired for a new job last October, with my wedding coming up in May. I wore my ring, and even mentioned in the interview I was getting married (my fiance's parents live here, that's why we're moving away from the beach, blah blah blah). It wasn't until my orientation that I mentioned that I'd need time off for the wedding.
They were completely cool with it. I'm sure your new employer will be too.
I got really lucky. I told them before the interview that I needed 4 weeks off for the honeymoon in July. And they are actually letting me work 32 hours/week up until the wedding. I had pretty much resigned myself to not finding a job until after we got back from our trip.

I don't want jinx anything, as long as the background check goes through I will be starting a new job in 2 weeks and I'm so excited! In addition to a great new opportunity, I will be making more money we can save towards our honeymoon and a down payment.
I'm worried about requesting the 10 days off for our wedding in June. Has anyone else gone through this? I didn't feel like it was necessary to mention during the interview because it was kind of irrelevant to my qualifications for the job. Plus, it's nine months from now so it's not like I'll be starting and going out right away..
