I have an interview on Monday, but I found out I'll be travelling for a client meeting that got rescheduled unexpectedly. Now, I won't be back until Monday evening. Should I reschedule and be upfront about the work travel, or does that hurt my chances? I don't want them to think I'm not serious about the role.

I’d be upfront about it and suggest another time. It shows you’re in demand and still committed to your current role, which can actually make you look even more appealing.

Curious what you ended up doing here? I think being up front would’ve been the most reasonable thing to do having been on both sides of this situation myself

I would explain that to them and let them know you don't want them to think you aren't serious. Things come up and recruiters are usually pretty understanding. I would just be honest with them.

I’ve worked in clinical research in the academic/non profit world for the past five years. I want to transition to a role in pharma or a CRO, but haven’t been successful yet because I don’t have industry experience. Does anyone know of any CROs/pharma companies that are willing to hire someone with research expertise from an academic medical center rather than already in industry? Thanks!
