I fully understand and ruminate at length about this concern. But unless specifically asked or pertinent, I don't feel it should be what the interviews are about.
"Oh yeah, I play in a competitive amateur soccer league and regularly travel."
"Oh yeah, I very frequently take sick days with no advance notice because I and my kids are always getting sick in staggered intervals."
"Oh yeah, I have cancer and will be starting chemo and other treatments soon."
"Oh yeah, I'm having a surgery or even something cosmetic like a nose job and need to take the next few months off for medical LOA."
"Oh yeah, I take 4-8 weeks to my old country every year to visit family along with other vacations."
"Oh yeah, I plan to pop out 3-5 babies at 1.5 year intervals so I'll barely be here and neither will my hubby who also happens to work here."
"Oh yeah, I'm getting gender transition surgeries and treatment and recovery for the next few years."
I could go on and on.
Does anyone ever mention any of this in interviews? I've never heard of such a thing personally. It's not what interviews are about. I've yet to hear about someone thinking of an applicant not discussing those things as being untrustworthy.
Why is taking a couple weeks off a year, or worst case less than a year if the world's on fire, cause for losing trust but not taking months off for reasons that can be described as leisure, vanity, selfishness, or serious illness? And would you really want to work for someone who sees serving your country as sinister, untrustworthy, and dishonorable compared to someone having trouble figuring out what genitalia they want?
Like ABMD, I work at a large corporation that has the benefits he described. It's also very huge on "diversity" as most companies in my industry are. But while it's very big on things like racial and gender diversity, it's not keen on building its military diversity. In fact I'd go so far to say a lot of the US-based employees don't view the military positively.
Just my take. But I'd rather not discuss extraneous details in interviews, get hired, and prove myself to be a valuable employee, rather than get immediately rejected for no other reason than HR or hiring managers who may or may not be scared by something they know nothing about. It's taking a gamble in the latter scenario, and I don't like gambling.
Or better yet, you can say everyone is dishonest for job hunting while currently employed and not telling anyone until their 2 week notice. It's so excessively common, it's become a social norm and such "dishonesty" is simply part of the game.
