At what point in the interview process should I let the interviewer know that I have a pre planned vacation coming up in May for two weeks? I want to drop this information in a way that won't hurt my chances of getting the job.

Sometimes they will ask you themselves. I just got 2 new positions and 1 of them asked me about any upcoming vacations that were pre planned. The other job I felt the vibe during the interview first. When it seemed like it was going well I just threw it in there. I was hired for both and have that time off.

Sometimes they’ll give you the job before they ask for holidays! So get them to ask you, don’t mention it to them!

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.
