Call them (if you can speak ok) and ask them if there are any alternative dates as you are recovering from tonsilitis and are concerned you may not have recovered in time for next week.URGENT
Dear @Jessica Booker ,
I was offered an assessment centre with Allen & Overy for a winter vac scheme yesterday afternoon (about 5:30). I immediately booked it for 13th October, the only available dates were the 12th/13th of October. However, I currently have tonsilitis and am very ill (unable to work). I am on a course of antibiotics and anticipate I should be better within a couple of days although I have seen no improvement to date. Do you think it is an option to ask Allen & Overy to push the AC back or do you think this could reduce my chance of being successful? This is my first vac scheme AC and I really don't want to do anything to minimise my chances as I am worried the opportunity may not come around again especially at such a massive firm. Please let me know what you think. (I tagged as 'urgent' as I guess A&O would want as much notice as possible)
