    It happens all the time. In the interview when asked about start dates you just need to let them know you have a holiday booked. Most employers are very accommodating as long as they have notice.

    I have put it in a cover letter a few times but only if I think they may call for an interview while I am overseas and wonder why they can't reach me. I then put down that I am away for work purposes (e.g. a conference) so it doesn't look unprofessional.

    Update: I just got a callback for a 3 week temp assignment, which will take me right up to when we go away. Assuming I get the job - find out Monday - I'll just put on any further applications that I'm not available until November.

    Thanks for all your help ladies, and thanks for all saying the same thing so I didn't get confused, LOL!
