[Closed] Black Eye And Swollen Face At An Interview

monksie · 2018-06-24T12:16:08Z

Following a perfectly innocent fall this morning, the person (female, if that makes any kind of difference) is going for two NHS management level interviews on Tuesday and Friday of this coming week. Two separate jobs. High enough up to warrant presentations to three senior mangers followed by a standard 30 minute interview. The injuries consist of a very black and swollen eye and a great deal of swelling to the same side of the face with grazing. It looks awful. The timing could not be worse. My question is, is the situation retrievable or a right off? Any tips on how to play it? Would an email in advance to give a heads up and an explanation be a good idea? The person in question has never had so much as a broken nail before now and is distraught. We'd really appreciate any experiences, if any, of interviewing and of being interviewed in this kind of situation. in a bit of a panic at the moment....

good effort. making in advance is a big step but it's what you feel comfortable with that counts.

Standard NHS practice for that sort of accident requires a hockey mask to be worn at work, I'd go with that.
