Hello all, I (F25) recently underwent an extensive surgery this week for my heart. They cracked open my breastbone and fixed my congenital heart defect I’ve had since birth. I wasn’t expecting it to be this intense, I am basically having to learn how to do everything. I have to learn how to walk, use my arms, how to get out of bed, all the little things taken for granted.
I asked for an extension to interview since I am in the beginning stages of healing. Surprisingly, the lady said she could interview me at a later date but I am wondering how this will affect my ability to get the position.
It feels like I have bad luck getting an interview at this time. I really need the job.
I guess if I don’t get the job because of my surgery, I should be grateful. That’s not a company I’d like to work for.
Please let me know if you’ve ever been in a similar position and what was the outcome.
