AIBU to postpone my job interview?

136 replies

Dakin1 · 05/05/2016 13:52

I have a job interview tomorrow morning at 9.30am. It's the third and final interview and I think I am the only candidate they are seeing.

The job sounds amazing and I really want it. DP recently unemplyed so we really need the money too.

BUT today I have come down with a horrendous stomach bug. DP and DC both had it recently and it lasted a few days. I thought I had escaped it but clearly not.

WIBU to give the recruitment consultant a heads up and say I may need to postpone?

DP says to dose up on immodium and force myself to go as it would make a bad impression to postpone. I think it is better to postpone than run out to the loo half way through the interview.

Advice please?!

Wow, well done!

Missing the point here slightly, but how on earth can you cope with having 6,514 unread emails Shock My heart is almost palpitating at the thought and they are not even my emails Grin

Oh wow thank you so much everyone. You are all bloody lovely! Still feeling very dodgy and it's fab reading your kind messages. Negotiated a little salary increase too, it's turning out to be a pretty good day. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Oh and must start clearing my inbox before starting the job. Feel a bit ashamed of all the unread messages!
