Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy’s own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
I need some advice for a forthcoming interview. I am a graduate surveyor who is looking to progress my career at a bigger company, and this is a dream opportunity for me. However, on the same day as the interview – a Tuesday – I am scheduled to be doing surveys.
A lot of organisation goes into arranging these surveys and they are planned well ahead, therefore I would either need an excuse not to do them or to be honest with my current employer and simply ask for the day off. The interview is a month away. What should I do?
Do you need advice on a work issue? For Jeremy’s and readers’ help, send a brief email to dear.jeremy@theguardian.com. Please note that he is unable to answer questions of a legal nature or to reply personally.
