What to do when you are ill in an interview?

I have a superday tomorrow for a BB in asset management and have a disgusting cold. I am anticipating maximum nasal discharge over the course of the day. What can I do to prevent this or minimise the symptoms tomorrow?

my best advice would be to just do your best and try your hardest and they will hire you for talent, not your flu. Hope this helps, we all believe in you!

 

chug as much green tea and water as you can today ... vitamin C ... chicken noodle soup --- pamper yourself

to prepare to wake up tomorrow and feel better
