    Job dilemma, help please?
    Essentially I decided I'm going to leave my current part time place of work last night (one week notice yet to be handed in), so I emailed my CV to few a jobs last night. I'm due to start university in September so I was applying for temporary places, mainly in tele-marketing. I received a phone call this morning and after a brief chat I was asked if I could attend an interview tomorrow, which I've agreed to do. After a quick look over the website and email it appears this might be for a full time job.

    What would you do? Would you contact them now and mention you're attending university in September and you were after temporary work? Or would you keep quiet, try and get the job and then leave in September?

    I would just say in the interview. Say you'll be available as much as you can but you are starting University in September so will not be able to work full time. (Don't mention it till the end though, it'll give them a chance to want you anyway )

    Be honest during the interview

    If you get the job and your employer is impressed with how you are doing so far, you may become a permanent during the academic holidays [Like myself]
