RESCHEDULE!!! Look, higher ups meet with candidates all the time. They would be glad to have 30 minutes back on their schedule. They likely won't even remember that you rescheduled the interview, especially if you work with HR to do so. Better to reschedule than look crappy in an interview

Sleep, water, meds!

Reschedule, it's gonna take 5 days till you are back to 100%

Chug fluids and sleep 15+ hours a day. Take meds. You’ll be generally over the hump in 48 hours if it’s a common cold or virus. 80/20 rule......rescheduling an interview isn’t ideal

I recommend Tylenol severe cold and flu - that stuff has worked wonders for me in the past. Good luck!

Go to ER and get IV

There are so many job postings and applicants I can’t tell if they would be beneficial to show effort or just a waste of time to write with how little time I assume people are looking at applications with the mass hiring going on. If I should be writing one, any advice how to format?

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about. The worrying/anxiety multiplies when I proceeded further in the interview stages. Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

I went through a pretty rigorous interview process for a marketing project manager but ultimately wasn't given job. Though most of the feedback was positive, the other candidate had more direct experience with the job responsibilities (digital assets, social media, etc.) My job/company dabbles in digital but it's primarily traditional media. How do I again the experience if I'm limited by the type of work we do?

One of ex’s friends who is I met twice, has been in touch, him and his wife, like commenting on some of my posts occasionally (we are just fb friends and IG friends). I never saw them since. Then the friend texts asking if I am seeing someone and that he wants to set me up with someone. He felt awkward doing that, I thanked him for thinking of me, but then he said we all told your ex he is an idiot for letting you go and they asked my ex it they could still be touch with me and he said yes.

If my agency had a dog daycare and a nap room, I’d probably never go home.
