Dear Experts, I am about to start the interview process with a company. However, I've been called for jury duty at the beginning of next month and I am out of postponements. When should I let the interviewing company know I have to report for jury duty service? Here is how our T.A.P. experts answered this question:@jtodonnellQ#176 Get through 1st interview & see if you get called back. Then let them know so they can work w/you. @resumesrevealedQ#176 Tell employer ASAP, try to interview b4 or after jury duty hrs. Give them max time 2 work w/you on schedulng. @juliaericksonQ#176 Find out usual length jury duty & hours; tell employer situation; c if can do early am/evening interview. @keppie_careersQ#176 Jury duty might interfere w/scheduled interview? Tell company ASAP. Give dates & keep them in loop. @ValueIntoWordsQ#176 Agree w/@kgrantcareers: try postpone jur duty again, if no, then tell company-maybe they can interview u early. @kgrantcareersQ#176 Try 2 postpone jury duty one more time. If can't, contact interviewer nd schedule different date 4 interview asap. @heatherhuhman: Q#176 Agree w/other experts. Tell them immediately, and provide alternative times you are available. @dawnbugniQ#176 Immediately. Allows them to plan accordingly. Consideration goes a long way in a job search. @gradversityQ#176 ASAP. Explain the situation and they should understand. They are legally required to give you this time off.
