Hi,
I've quit my current organization due to health reasons and i'm looking for 2-3 months to recover. I've started my job hunt now... In the organizations that i'm interviewing for can i give the notice period as 2 months? would that be accepted by the HR team? though i already have quit from my company last week...?
Or do i need to say i'm already available and need 2 months time to take up the new offer?
Thanks for any help.
Regards,

Hello Priya,
Why do you want to bluff?
If you want to hunt for jobs right now, tell them the exact reason.
Or you can begin your hunt for jobs maybe a week before you will be actually ready to join. Given today's scenario, getting a job shouldn't be very difficult--but you haven't mentioned your skill/role. you can also then tell about the actual fact about your illness & that you are now OK to join a job--keep your medical reports handy too.
Also most companies usually prefer anyone who can join ASAP--you can bank on that aspect.

Not Sateesh, there is not a motive to cheat here... Does "Notice Period" essentially mean, the time to get off from the current company, or the time that i would need to join the next company?

Hello Priya,
I didn't mean that your intention is to 'cheat'--which is a strong word I should say.
What I meant was that when you have a real & acceptable reason for the gap, why ask for time to join--indicating indirectly that it's the notice period?
Coming to your query of the difference between Notice Period & Time to join, both are different but yet interlinked. The Notice Period is as viewed from the 'current company's perspective' & Time-to-join is from the 'prospective Company's perspective'--unless you know the Notice period, you can't commit the Time-to-Join to the new Company. That's all.

Hello Priya,
I agree with Sateesh...Give the actual reason for postponing your joining date. And the new employer / company will definitely ask for the relieving letter or an experience certificate to be submitted....which will show your last date of working..at that point, instead of proving wrong, better u give the correct data.

Dear all,
The notice period concept has come into existence to help both employer and employee. As far as employer, when an employee puts in his / her resignation, he needs to find someone to take charge and get acclitimatized with the job which he/she is going to handle, for which it is fair to expect a reasonable time as notice period
So also, an employer wants to get away with an employee, he is supposed to give time to the employee, therefore he / she can search for job within the given time; so that the separation process takes place smoother.
In your case, you said that you have already quit. Why you need to prolong your joining with your prospective employer further, unless you need really some more time to recuperate.
As smita said, when you submit your relieving letter, you will get exposed. As an HR person, I am personaly against people doing dilly-dallying and manipulating.
Be straight forward and transparent; Most people will like that attitude.

There is one more angle to the situation, may be she was asked to leave the job and now she is trying to cover up it with her health aspect.
In this situation she need to produce some justified excuse to convince her new employer.....
I know this is very wild thought and out -of- box approach but could be possible.
