manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am fresh href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/graduate">graduate and have received an offer letter from a company I recently got placed in. However their joining href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/date">date coincides with my pre planned family vacation. I need an joining href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/date">date extension of 10 days. Is it possible? What reasons should I give the HR?

To start with, of course its possible. Given that you are are college hire, I am guessing you haven't had a lot of control in choosing the appropriate date. Nevertheless, a heads up would have been nicer. But still, good companies don't penalize on such matters. Unless your position needs to be filled very urgently, there's good chance they will allow.

What reasons should I give the HR?

Nothing other than the truth. You don't want to start with the wrong foot. Earn their trust by being honest. 10 days IMO is not much. All the best.

In worst case, if they don't agree and you have to comply with them and postpone your plans, that would again be a good example of your reliability. Finally, take it all in good spirit.
