Request to Reschedule Interviews in the Middle East

Hello,

I hope you're doing well.

I just got an invitation today to interview with BCG in the Middle East over the next few days. I’m really excited, but to be honest, I don’t feel quite ready yet.

Do you think it would be okay to ask for a bit more time to prepare and postpone the interviews? I’d really like to practice a few more cases before going in.

Thanks a lot!

Yes! It's quite common to request a postponement.

I'd recommend reaching out to your recruiter ASAP to see if they're willing to do this.

Meanwhile, happy to help with your prep if you need extra support.

Hey there,

100%! Yes, that would be fine and recruiters are used to managing requests for rescheduling, so don't worry about if asking will have any impact on your interviews

A nice, polite, and professional request to reschedule the interview would do, and the sooner you make the request - the easier it can be to accommodate

All the best

For which round did they invite you and which office?

Thanks :)
