Advice for other interviewees
Don’t book yourself with so many interviews and crazy flights back and forth from NYC that you can’t actually make them all because you’re too exhausted to wake up in time for your 5:30 taxi to the airport. Respect your body a little, and take it easy. Even if you can’t interview everywhere at once, it’s a lot better than missing a scheduled interview and having to write them a desperately apologetic email:
The fact that you’re getting this email from me means that something has gone pretty wrong–I missed my flight!! This has never happened to me before, so I dread writing you the email, but you need to know so you can do damage control. I am so terribly sorry–I placed demands on my body I couldn’t handle with my schedule.
Apologies,
Elliott C. Bäck
Professionally, I suppose these things happen and my recruiter will probably have expected it to happen again to someone this season, but I really wish it wasn’t me. This is such a freak accident and I feel really terrible about it…
