Thankfully, with a simple out of office message taking a day off doesn’t mean that your communication with clients has to stop.
You may also want to include bullet points of what is in progress so that your client knows you’re on top of things.

It’s a cool little project and a nice starter template for you when you decide to tell everyone to buzz off and leave you alone for a bit.
1) I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position.
If you know that you’re going to be out of office for a long time, it’s worth thinking about redirecting your clients to your colleague. Mention their name, explain what position they occupy and how they can help your client. Include a way to contact them in the form of an email address or a phone number. Just try to warn a colleague that you want to redirect your clients to them before going on a vacation.
