Half cut at job interview. Do I or don't I?

So after signing on this morning I realised I had nothing else to do all day but look for work, and I'm fed up of that so I nipped into Kemptown's finest boozer to sink a few ales.

After five and a half pints of Sussex Old I got a call from a prospective employer asking me some questions about a job I recently applied for and really fancy. Despite seemingly slurring all my responses the chap asked me in for an interview later this afternoon and without thinking it through I agreed.

The problem I now face is going to this interview having had enough beer to make me tipsy. I admit I'm a lightweight but the fact remains I am certainly not sober. BUT by the same token I obviously impressed this guy enough over the phone for him to want me to come in for the interview and I was pissed then so perhaps it helps a little?

I'm not staggering about cursing just yet, but I'm conscious of the fact I'm probably slurring my words and stink of booze.

Quick shower and a coffee, will I be good to go, or would I be safest to rearrange the interview for a later date?

Give yourself as much chance as possible to get the job, so reschedule. But having just agreed to this afternoon you are left with letting him down before you've even got the job.

Toughy. You should reschedule but make the excuse damned convincing...:drink:

No time for a nap sadly.

Off to shower now, then it's cup of coffee and off.

Reckon it might be a bit late to reschedule now, unless the excuse is REALLY good. Any ideas?

I'd go.

It's going to look pretty poor if you call him back within a couple hours and ask to rearrange - even with the most convincing excuse.

Have a shower, drink some coffee and chew some gum on the way there and you are good to go.

I couldn't give a f*** about the interview mate but what, in your humble opinion, is Kemp Town's finest boozer?

Can I trust you were in the Barley Mow?

The Mow is a fine establishment but I'm afraid when it comes to the king of Kemptown it has to be The Ranelagh. I'd live in that place if I had the money.



Why am I still here chatting to you oiks?

Don't they advise against sex just before going for a job interview?

You could say you'd been to a funeral (no-one too close, so you don't have to sustain the lie if you get the job - an old family friend will do) this morning, so apologise if you're not on top form.

Chap should then sympathise and say he's sorry to have to called you in in that case.

You come back with some reply about it not being a problem, in fact it rescues you from being gloomy down the pub with everyone else from the funeral.

Then, without ever saying it, you've implied you may have had a drink. But in a context which is forgivable.

Great idea! Cheers.

Right, no time for coffee so I'm just gonna grab a handful of Nescafe and munch it on the bus.

Wish me luck NSC!
