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’m am due to be interviewed for a dream role within an international company. The role is based at its worldwide HQ but it has offices all around the world. The problem is I have a fear of flying. In the past this has lost me several other roles (even though you could argue there wasn’t much of a need to travel).
The job specification has no mention of a requirement to travel. I imagine it may be useful to visit the other offices as part of the role, but not essential.
What should I do? Be upfront and risk not getting the job again? Or say nothing and risk losing the job once I start it?
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.
