Well, 1) why do you need an entire day for a 45 min interview
2) tell them anything....like literally anything.
3) this is good rain, lol, harden up

45x3= 135min. Why do you need 3 days off?! If you can’t juggle multitasking prep you are probably not meant for any of the companies, including accenture.

This is where you ask for more information? You are jumping into conclusions. The interviews are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 11 am - 5pm EST. With all my back to back meetings starting from 8 am till 7pm with clients and Accenture, tell me how I’m supposed to tell them I can only be available 8 am - 10 am on those 3 days without looking dodgy

Loving that rain!!! It’s raining opportunities!!! All the best. Enjoy. Tell them that some personal matters can up and you will need some time off. Don’t take off whole day. Prep on weekend and do your best to make it work to get the interviews in.

Sounds like a family member caught covid and you’re going to care for them for 3 days. Or you have covid- like symptoms and there were long lines to get tested, then you wanted to rest to not aggravate symptoms.

Schedule them in 5 days...
