I have an interview this week and something has just come up with my current role that I cannot get out of. How can I reschedule without burning the bridge?

Would just say something in current role came up that you can’t reschedule and apologize and ask to reschedule but also would try to reschedule whatever it is that came up in the current role first since the new place should be a priority, even just saying in current role that you have a doctor appointment that is really important and you have been waiting for months and can’t make it at that time

It’s totally fine to reschedule.

I am not big on rocking the boat with whoever is signing my checks. I have absolutely rescheduled an interview when work has interfered. I framed it that I hope they can appreciate my commitment and that I won't let my team down.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

Additional Posts in Ask A Recruiter - Law

I am looking for a new job at the end of a long career. I have excellent experience in IP and Supply Chain Management. I've been fortunate to be in a high-paying position in the Los Angeles area and I rarely see comparable positions posted. The comparable positions at my company are filled by one of the big executive search firms. Any recommendations for finding the rare executive-level legal positions or for landing on the radar of the big executive search firms would be much appreciated!
