I'm in the Nat'l Guard and I just found out today that I will be leaving for training for 5 1/2 months beginning March 23rd. Well, about a month ago I applied for a job with the Veteran's Administration and went to an interview about a week ago. Everything seems fine with that, and they are currently checking my references and background. I'm assuming that I will be offered the job, and I'll find out in about 2 weeks. If I do get the job, I won't be able to start for about another week (you can only start federal jobs at the beginning of the pay period). So, as this whole thing drags out, I would be looking at starting maybe the end of Feb, beginning of March. This is really close to my training date of March 23rd.
My ? is this: Should I let them know that I have training coming up and basically kill my chances for employment, or do I follow through and take advantage of the situation and get hired on, then tell them, when they are legally obligated to let me leave.
