Hi, I‘ve just been offered a job at one of the ministry division, which I hav accepted by email. For ur existing appointment, like child’s medical appointment, is it required to let HR know about it in advance, since it will probably be within the first 3 months of employment, even though it’s only 1 day leave?

And I read thru some of the posts, and noted many advised to resign only after the contract is signed at vital. Anyone resign before that? Cos was thinking to take a week rest before the next job... but not sure if the risk is too big to take?
