Most of us are always in search of new jobs, for better prospects. When there is a job search, there is an interview and for this, we have to take time off from current work place.
Here are few excuses for taking time off for an interview:
- Take a vacation day.
- Use a sick day.
- Take a couple of hours of personal time.
- Volunteer for an extra task, meeting, event, conference of some kind that involves time outside of normal work hours, then take the extra hours worked as comp time.
- Picking a friend up from the airport.
- House was burglarized.
- Plumbing problem.
- Sick child.
- Sick parent.
- Doctor's appointment for yourself or a family member.
- Medical testing.
- You have a migraine and need to go home.
- You have a business meeting.
- Personal business.
- Appointment with an attorney to get wills.
- Financial planning appointment.
Please share excuses that you have made/heard.
