Mck postponing final round

If they inform me of final rounds with very short notice, am I able to postpone if I have work commitments? (won’t be able to take time off to interview)

Absolutely!

Just tell them you have work commitments and they'll understand.

Make sure to propose a large range of alternative days/times and offer to be flexible as long as they can give more notice.

Hi Anonymous,

Yes, absolutely no issue to postpone (especially if it's not a highly targeted senior position with a specific skillset that McK needs to deploy on an existing project…). 

Just call them (yes, calling is always better in such case than emailing, even if many candidates take a while until they can reach their recruiting contact) and politely ask about postponing. It's their daily job to organize the whole recruiting process in the best possible way, so really no need to hesitate about that topic!

Hope that helps - if so, please give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Hey there,

Sure, no problem at all! You're a professional and they know that.

I would suggest to hop on a call with a recruiter to find a time that works for both. Otherwise, it's just so many emails forth and back…

Best of luck for the final round!

Yes, of course. They get that all the time. That will not be an issue.
