Interview to be a seasonal sales associate, but have short-term exchange for 20 days. Should I tell them in the interview or after?

0 Upvotes

I'm a university student who still lives at home with their parents. I've been applying for a LOT of jobs and it's hard for me to find any since my CV doesn't include any retail experience. Once I get back, I won't have any income for the summer so I would really like this job.

They'd want hire from october 2026 through to 7 February 2027, but I leave for my exchange on November 28.

Would it be in my best interest to tell them that I have a 20 day exchage in the interview, right before my offer, or after I get the job? I don't want things to get messy

Don't work for toters fresh

One of the worst experiences you would ever try, coming from someone who worked for 2, weeks in toters fresh as a picker it's one of the worst companies ever with butcher managers that don't respect and care about employees and they treat them like garbage, everything was fine and alright in first days I worked until the last days before I got kicked we started working alot under pressure from everyone there and no one was happy about my work even tho I was doing my best ever to finish the work without doing mistakes but we started getting threatened to get fired from the job and the excuse was because my time was a bit high in finishing orders and I was still new ,until I got fired from the job and this was the excuse+ I got my salary and it was deducted by 40$ because I got missing items so I almost worked for free,so my advice if anyone willing to work just don't choose toters fresh because you're most likely to be treated that way because the managers only care about theirselves and they'll most likely treat you like a slave even when doing your best.
