Is it okay to request a virtual interview instead of f2f? Company wants to fly me out for the final round (presumably to gauge culture fit). I’m taking all of my PTO in October for my wedding, starting the busy season, and realizing that it will be very difficult to find a full day before January that I could take.

Appreciate it! Just wasn’t sure if this might be a standard request since Covid started, but I’ll make it work somehow.

No one except the firm you’re applying to knows the answer to that.

First, congratulations on getting married. That is an amazing milestone in ones life.

Now about the facts - 50% of marriages end up in divorce so get your priorities right brother/sister. If I told you that chances of parachute opening is 50%, you would pick a different hobby than skydiving

Joking aside, unless interview is on day of your wedding or week of your wedding, you shud be fine. Try to do it before your wedding or after wedding before honeymoon

The only option for that would be next Wednesday, unfortunately.

For what it’s worth, I’m the only candidate being considered for this role and they don’t open listings publicly/they found me.

I just started with a company as an HR Generalist. Within the 3 weeks of being there, my boss’s boss left, and today I found out my boss gave notice. HR is not valued at the company and it’s disheartening to know I was hired into a mess. I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute. I wasn't available at that time so I mailed the HR for a different slot. They again scheduled it for a later date without checking the time with me.
