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

I would reschedule it, take the initiative and let them know that you are sick.

@HannahSky I'm afraid to do that. I've been looking for a job for a year with no luck. This is the first job interview I've been called to. I cant miss it.

Go ahead then and just apologize for being sick so they realize you know it's not the best circumstance but the job is important to you
