Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview this afternoon, but I have a really bad cold?

I have been sick for over a week, and I really though I would get better by today. I haven't had a fever, just a really bad cold or sinus infection. I feel awful. I went on another interview thursday when I was a little less sick, but I just don't know if it is rude to go when I am coughing and obviously stuffy. What should I do?

3 Job Interview Skills You Must Have to Win Your Dream Job

• It's ok to reschedule the interview but you have to do it properly.
  Speak directly to your interviewer. Most of the time, employers inform you of the person who will talk to you in the interview. Answering machines or leaving messages are a no-no - they're not only unprofessional, but you risk not having them delivered and keep people waiting (which is even more inappropriate).
  
  Apologize and be polite when on the phone with the interviewer, and explain why (remember: valid reasons and real emergencies only) to reschedule job interview.
  
  Request to reschedule your interview on a date that you sure you can be present, and if the interviewer agrees to it. Depending on the validity of your reason, and among all other factors, a reschedule job interview may no longer be feasible. Once a date is set, always thank the interviewer sincerely for giving you another shot at getting the job.
  
  Once you have a reschedule job interview, show your appreciation to your prospective employer by calling in to confirm that you will be up and about during the interview. This helps diminish thoughts of insincerity and unreliability from you.
  
  On the day of your rescheduled interview, be sure to apologize again and show all ways of courtesy. Goodluck!


• You are in a difficult spot since today is Monday. If you would have had a weekday before today, you could have let the interviewers know and get the interview rescheduled. But now it is late enough that you are not sure how it will affect their overall schedule.
  
  Anyways, if you are not looking like a Zombie and in your senses to appear for an interview (and audible), show up there and let them know what I said in first paragraph.
  
  If you are still not quite audible, call them and let them know your condition. If you happen to leave a voice mail, leave a voice mail. Let them hear you.


• Go. Then tell them that you are there but you are not feeling well but you are up to it if your snorting and coughing don't offend them interviewers.
  
  Let them see the first ounce of your character - Dedication and truthfulness.
  
  I hope you nick it.
