Send to a Friend
What should I do in this unusual job interview situation?
I have an interview tomorrow for a job I really want. (Managing a small gourmet market.) I’ve done a ton of research on the company and practiced for the interview- I feel generally confident and well-prepared.
I just got an e-mail from my contact there asking if I could reschedule for the afternoon because he is going to the funeral of an old family friend in the morning. I’m generally really bad at comforting people during situations like this, never mind someone who I’m meeting for the first time during a job interview. I don’t know what the protocol is in a situation like this- I really want to appear professional, and I genuinely feel sympathetic for him. I’m also worried about how this will affect my interview. Help?
P.S. The response I sent him by e-mail is:
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’d be glad to reschedule for 2pm. Thanks, and my sympathy,
