Help me please!!

Ok serious question: you have a big job interview for a job you REALLY want, but you get SUPER SICK (sore throat, flu-like aches and pains, coughing, stuffy nose, sinus pressure) the day before. You can't miss the interview because you may not get another chance at it.

What do you tell the people when you go in for your interview? Do you tell them you're sick right away so they dont try to shake your hand? If they offer you the job, do you tell them you need some time to get well? Or just go straight to work when you're in the worst part of your flu???

Help me

1. If im "super sick" I wouldnt be able to attend the interview
2. I would go to the Interview if im able to though i have a cold.
3. If I get the job, I would ask time for a recovery. They probably would understand since they have already seen me sick at the interview.

@benhailin I'm super sick, but I cant pass this chance up. I really want this job.

@DearAmbellina2113 I think you should then look into 2 and 3 . Just be honest about your situation. Most Interviewers prefer that than an interview to "please".
