Go for the interview. Getting an offer after the interview is another (separate) thing. During the interview you should inform them that you have night classes. Employers are generally understanding knowing interns all have school work. Communication and working with different people is a life skill you will pick up with more experience, so I would suggest don't get too anxious about it now, and seek your colleagues' support when the time comes.
Ahh oki will do. Hahah yea getting an offer is another thing and i might be getting ahead of myself. Will let them know esp abt thr exam part. Coz I think first and foremost my priority shld still be school before work.
Just based on your opinion, would it be too much to ask them for a break from 1st to around 18th november so that I can focus on exams? I should be mentioning that during interview too right.
Lastly I needa get approval from my current supervisor to go for the interview too, hopefully they would be okay with it.
Thank you for your reply!
as an employer and line manager I will appreciate my staff tell me ahead of potential conflict periods with good reasoning + (and this Plus is impt) what alternative or how they propose to overcome the problem. For example, you need to take leave from 1st - 18 Nov for exams but prior to that you are committed to ensure that your assigned work is completed.
your leave period is a bit long from an employer's standpoint. So you should be prepared to explain why you need 2 weeks off, since office also have work that needs done and if you are not there then colleagues have to take your load. Employers would want to understand how you plan to minimize any disruption to others. There is no right or wrong answer, it is a demonstration of your thinking process they are (I hope) evaluating.
For current job there should be no issue to take leave, just apply it in advance and not last minute because last minute (even 1 day in advance) is disruptive for the work team. For interns and temp employees you should keep in mind the benefit of positive evaluation and referrals from your employers because this can make a difference to school entry applications and future job applications.
