How inappropriate is it to ask to reschedule an interview? I am struggling rn because my current company keeps on rescheduling meetings right when I have blocks for interviews at the very last minute. I once asked to reschedule day of because of this and ended up missing out on the job. I feel like I’m held hostage by these last minute meetings from my company and want to leave but idk how to do it if they keep on scheduling over the interviews I have!!

Just be ruthless about your time / blocks. They won’t even realize you’re interviewing trust me.

Def block off your schedule. And if you can, just say that you can’t go (especially if it’s last minute, sometimes you just can’t make meetings you weren’t planning for during a normal work day). And worse come to worse you can reschedule respectfully with the recruiter. I’ve done it, they’ve done it to me. As long as it only happens once or so during the process and you give them a good enough heads up it’ll be fine.

Your doctor appointment led to something getting flagged. Nothing too serious but they need you to come back a few times for tests to make sure you’re good.
