Need SERIOUS help!

depends on how close you were with your grandfather. but do you really care about money so godamnn much you literally lose your own soul and the ability to honor someone else's?

Call the recruiter immediately, I'm sure they would be able to reschedule for an event like this.

Call the recruiter and tell them what your situation is. They will understand and try to reschedule. Trust me, if you go and accidentally let it slip that you blew off your gpa's funeral for an interview, they won't think you're dedicated, they'll think you're an asshole.

Agree. Call them and explain the situation and reschedule an IN PERSON interview. Its a lot hard to make an impression over the phone VIA in person... especially considering all your peers will have that opportunity.

dude, do not miss your grandfather's funeral for an interview. HR will work around. If they do not, that is not a place you want to work. Family first man.

Certainly talk to HR and explain the situation. If they're not understanding of it, is that a firm you want to be working for anyway?

Since when did 7 interviews require an 'only' preceding it?

man what the fuck you shouldn't even be asking if you should skip the funeral! i would've skipped all my ibanking interviews to donate my kidney to a family member if it was needed!

Is this even a serious question dude? Go to your grandfathers funeral. Shame on you dude for even asking such a question.

Hes dead and won't know whether or not you showed up...go do that interview.

end sarcasm

Sorry guys that was F'ed up. I just found out like a couple minute ago about their arrangements so I was freaking out. Thanks a lot for the advices and I totally deserve all the criticism .. what the hell was I thinking...

Well.. if you have a change of heart, just tell your parents "he would have wanted it this way."

just an additional question:

If on campus interview is on Monday, when do you think interviewers usually fly in/out? As you all mentioned it's better to have an in person interview. I will be gone Sunday to Monday, do you think it is reasonable to suggest an in-person interview say on Saturday if they made it in already (I find a lot of alum interviewers come/leave town early/leave town a couple days before/after just to hang around). Am I right to assume that it is a bad idea to ask for an arrangement the day after because they would probably talk and make the decisions by the end of Monday?

Wow you heartless bastard, ditching ur grandfather's funeral so you could go interview?!!!

Shame on you.

Have some respect. u need to sit in the bathtub with your head bowed and pour water on your head with a bowl for 2 hours straight to clean up that bad karma u have generated.

You DO "Need SERIOUS help!"

sorry i couldn't help it.

it is times like these that I wish i didnt give out all my monkey poop. This thread is definitely POOP WORTHY!
