To ask for interview to be on teams?

Just that really. I've got a face to face interview today and I kind of need it to be teams based because

  1. I've got Covid and it's to be done In a hospital department
  1. I had cancer surgery 2 days ago (ironically where I think I caught the covid) and I'm in a fair amount of pain still.

Am I unreasonable to ask if I could be accommodated by not having a face to face interview?

I would ask

Yanbu.

Absolutely reasonable.

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 21/09/2023 07:36

As a cynic, I’d tell them them about the Covid but not the surgery.

Yes I’d definitely ask. Alternatively they might be able to delay. Good luck

Offer to rearrange or Teams based on Covid.

If you're not well ask for it to be rearranged. I'd rather go in person next week than do it online not feeling 100% this week

And yes, don't mention any other illness at this stage

I can't believe this still be able to do the interview at all, so asking for a virtual one is still showing you are more than willing.

Personally I'd be asking to move the date back if possible

Whenever the interview is, good luck and hope you get the job.
