Please advise how to request the management of invited company to change my interview day?

Question

I contacted with a company personally for Managerial position & the management of this company informs me by e-mail " Dear Mr. Shuhan:

You are kindly requested to visit our head office located at 18, Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue

Shahbag, Dhaka for an interview on Monday March 31, 2008 at 9:30 am"

But due to an important assignment of my present company I will be very busy on 31st Mar, 2008 & I can't face this interview. Please advise me how to request this company to change/reschedule my interview date. Please advise.

Answer 1

If they provided a contact number, call them and request a different date. If they didn't include a number, reply by email and say you're looking forward to meeting with them but are unable to be there on March 31, and suggest a different date that you can make it.

Answer 2

I agree with schazjmd, I would also suggest that you pick three options for them to choose from for you new interview and time.

Start out with thanking them for the interview, you don't have to go into detail but explain that the time indicated is inconvenient, apologize and politely ask if one of the times you suggest would be more beneficial to both parties involved.

Good luck!
