I had an emergency and my interview is in few days. Does it look bad if i reschedule?

My apartment been flooded and now I need to move out and handle the situation. Does it look bad to ask to push my interview date? It's such short notice and it's in a few days but i'm worried that rescheduling looks bad on paper. Should I just stick it through and interview still?

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this situation.

If it will affect your ability to perform at your best, you should reschedule without hesitation. It is a legitimate emergency, and HR teams are used to handling these requests, so it won’t reflect negatively on you.

It’s better to interview when you can give it your full attention rather than while stressed and distracted.

Good luck, and I hope everything gets resolved quickly.
