If you can work through this migraine, then don't reschedule. It could be stress related, so instead go flush your system with water, eat some protein, and do 15mins of yoga (and take an advil if you can).

Then put your phone down and focus on nailing this opportunity. You've done the work. Just deliver.

Good luck ❤

No. Reschedule. We are human.
If it's a first round, then an ASC/EM committed to that time slot to interview you and you are slightly inconveniencing them as well as the recruiter, but they will all understand. We all feel under the weather occasionally, and they will get you in for an interview at a later date.

Yeah it’s first round. I want to just get it over with, maybe the migraine is stress about the interview who knows. It’s only 30 minutes which is a bright side and I’m trying to calm it down. I don’t want to lose the opportunity.

Advil for sure

Take Excedrin migraine or a combo of Advil + caffeine (Coke, coffee, whatever)

I made it to the second round and received really great feedback! If anyone has tips for second round please let me know. Sending lots of love to you all❤️

So glad for you! Good luck ❤

Only recommendation is to preempt the migraine. So yoga, stretching, healthy meals, rest, etc. for at least 24hrs prior.
