Client meeting. I’ve used it when it’s true and when it’s not true.
👆 that’s my go to. My interviewers always say a compliment back like “since you are accommodating your clients last minute we can be flexible”
Literally anything. If you can’t make it you can’t make it. I’ve had to reschedule for getting pulled into client meetings/pitches that I couldn’t get out of.
As long as you handle your communications well and don’t make it a habit and reschedule every round you have with them, you’re fine.
Ps try and give as much notice as you possible can. rescheduling 2 minutes before isn’t a greattt look and should only be done for something really unavoidable/an emergency
Ok thanks everyone for the responses, I just asked to reschedule and it wasn’t as big of a deal as I thought it was going to be haha
Did you say you had diarrhea?
A valid one?
100% it is.
Especially in the era of covid.
Be safe, not stupid.

You don’t need to give explanation. Just respectfully ask to reschedule with enough notice
If your interview is in less than 24 hours then second others that client meeting is a good reason
Also are you actually feeling so bad you can’t make it ? Or is it nerves?
I’m feeling under the weather and I don’t think I’d give the right energy / excitement on the video interview pretty much
Don’t give an excuse. Just say something along the lines of “Apologies, I’ll need to reschedule this morning/afternoon’s interview. Does (time) on (day) work?” - I feel like you shouldn’t have to give an excuse. You gotta do what you gotta do!
💯
Don't really need one. Just say that day / time is now difficult and you would appreciate rescheduling.

Honestly just being honest with them has always helped me. I would apologize and truthfully tell them the situation. I would also give them dates and times of when I can be available about 3-4 days with different times and see if it works for them. :)
