Hi

I say most definitely take the job. Good jobs are hard to come by, especially in this economy. If you don't want to tell them you're having surgery you can tell them you have a vacation already planned and is it ok. When I got the job I'm at now I had a vacation that I was planning I told them and they were fine with it. You can tell them though you're having a hiatal hernia repair or something, not sure if you need one, but they're not going to know. I just wouldn't say your gallbladder or appendix (unless you already had them out), use in case you need those some other time.

Yes, I agree with the other poster. Take the job, I'm sure they will understand that you had something previously planned. I had a job once where I had to take off a month after being hired to maternity leave. I tried to hide my pregnancy during the interview. They made me an offer anyway and my leave was not a problem at all.

I would take the job...but I wouldnt fib about your surgery nor would I indicate what type it is or isnt. I would just explain you have a prescheduled medical procedure scheduled for the week of blankidy blank and need that week off. Of course you would understand if you had to take it without pay.

Good Luck!

Well Friends I went to the interview it went very well! The surgeon push it back to FEB 1st! The new job starts Feb 1st! I told them I am having gallbladder removed! They said u think u can push it back or foward! I said yes , so what ever happens,happen. What ever come 1st! will come both I want both!!! so if i take the job I will have to wait for the lap band for a little while.
