My husband has a job interview in the next couple of weeks and needs a week off in September. Do you think it would be wise of him to tell them during the interview or wait until he gets accepted for the job and then let them know?

Absolutely wait until he has the job offer in hand. He doesn't want to look high maintenance during the interview process. Once the offer is made, he should then let them know that he had a previously scheduled trip in July and is unable to change it, and then indicate that if they are able to accomodate that he would love to accept the position. Most companies invest a lot of time and money into the recruiting process so once they have made an offer they are anxious to get the person to say yes and will do whatever they reasonably can to make it work.

If the interview is going well and he feels they are going to offer him the job (towards the end) he should mention it. I have done that before. You can usually tell where the interview is going. You might say, "I have a prescheduled vacation etc., would it be a problem to have it off". Usually they say no problem but it will most likely be unpaid. Most employers appreciate the honesty. You don't want to tell them after you accept the job offer because they might think he will always be asking for time off. Plus, if you tell them in the interview than they can tell you well we have a deadline that week ....etc etc and then they both parties can evaluate if its a good fit.

Not in the first interview. If your husband is called in again for a second interview, that would be the time to discuss what kind of time off he can expect. It probably also depends on the job.

not during the interview but if they offer him the job before he accepts let them know that there are plans he has that are paid for and can't be broken. Most companies will accmadate if they have already picked you. If you do it during the interview they are less likley to give you the job

I'd wait until they've made an offer and he makes the call to accept it. If he lets them know that at the interview they may well just drop him from the list of candidates.

It is usually best to advise the hiring manager during the interview. Depending on the type of position he is applying for it may not play a huge role. If it is a high level position or a position that deals with the finances of the company they may not be as understanding.

The interview is not the time to share that piece of information. The best place to share that information is at the time they want to negotiate the offer.
Most employers have no problem as long as it is brought up at the time of negotiation or at the time of a job offer.
If they really like him and want him to work there, it should not be a problem.
Good Luck!

Bring it up only when your offered the job, aka before accepting the position tell tehm your situation, not before, the reasoning goes, that if they are going to offer the job they should be able to accomodate time off. Telling them right away may cloud their judgement.

He would be honest to do so.....but they may think - rightfully - "this guy doesn't have a job with us and he already wants time off!" Wait....if he gets the job and meets expectations, it may not be a hard request to make.
