Recently talking with Mck to plan my interview. General question to the (Ex-)Mck, is it possible to postpone the planned interview date if I am not ready? Someone would like to share his/her successful experience with an individual chat? thanks!
Thanks, Benjamin. The internal contact I have there told me that they would be reaching out around the end of the month so I was pacing myself for that time frame and I don't want to have to deal with a situation where I have to start practicing multiple cases in a day. I feel that approach defeats the purpose of getting a quality prep. Based on the timefram I thought I had. I was pacing myself at about 1 case/day or every two days with the additional days to go over the particular case mechanics.

Hi Robert, if we were to reschedule, how would we explain it to HR in the most reasonable way possible? I'm assuming we can't just state we do not feel prepared enough right?
Yes and no. It's a waste of money, brains and time for both sides if you are not perfectly prepared, so it's a solid argument by itself if you don't feel fully prepared yet. Morever, the interviewer will most likely not even know about the re-scheduling, since this is handled by HR, so no disadvantage once you are on site. However, to be on the safe side, I suggest finding an appropriate explanation why to re-schedule, in a way that it does not reflect badly on your time management and organization skills (i.e. having an external reason for that which you could not influence).
