Delaying Telephone Interview Due to Covid19 shall I?

Hi- I’ve got a telephone interview with a top BB on Monday for 2021 SA role.

Been feeling very shitty past few days and I got tested for covid-19 which came out positive.

Do you think there will be any problems if I delay the first round interview for a few days? I absolutely hate making excuses but I feel absolutely awful.

I’m not sure how the process goes like, would I be at a disadvantage if I delay it for a few days and tell them my situation?

Don’t take my advice on this since I’m no wall street type, but seriously you have to take care of yourself. That shit can hurt you bad. Not sure if you saw what they were giving Trump but melatonin and vitamin D very well might be helpful for you.

Your health is much more important so I would try and delay. Also, I dont know if you work out a lot or not but please take it easy for a few months if so. The virus causes heart inflammation in some people which could set you up for serious issues if you over do it.

 

Thank you.

I’m going to email them and see what they see say, I’m more than happy to show them evidence if needed, but I don’t think they will want to see it
