I have a job interview via Skype on Wednesday. I'm not really stressed about that (okay a little stressed because I haven't really prepared) but I got home this evening and found a note from the apartment management stating that they were going to do their annual inspections. And guess what date mine is on? The very date of my interview.
I've been wracking my brain trying to think of what to do. I will call them (the apartment people) to see if they will at least save my place for last that day, so I can at least do my interview in peace. But I'm not holding out much hope.
I've been thinking of other places that have wi-fi, like the library, but I don't think there would be enough privacy there, plus I'm note sure about the internet connection there. Obviously coffee shops and the like are out. A hotel maybe, but in my experience wi-fi at hotels is often terrible. For obvious reasons it needs to be reliable, which it is at home.
I spent the weekend at my boyfriend's in DC. I helped him move into a new place up there and we had some fun, but I didn't get to prepare for my interview and I drove back late this evening.
Now I am stressed and can't sleep and I have to work tomorrow.

(14,881 posts)tell them that you have fixed plans make that day impossible. Offer them Tuesday or Thursday or Friday. If they refuse, only then negotiate down to the end of the day Wednesday.
What time is the job interview? Best of luck!

(16,245 posts)I haven't spoken to them yet (they did say on the letter that they will be unable to change the date), but I'm hoping that they won't do mine first.

And definitely, start preparing of that interview and forget about the apartment inspection!
Best of luck to you! This could be your chance to get out there!
