Good luck with the interview, way more important for you, keep the ticket and speed up to the ground for the second half or last 15 minutes, you won’t want to miss that when we’re winning, the celebrations will add to the day.

No way, match is way more important. More jobs will come about, maybe Mcdonalds, Greggs, Sports Direct

"I really really want the job, i also don't want to miss the football."

Do the interview mate, tape the game, avoid radio/friends/SBTalk, watch when you get home.

So, long story short. I got contacted yesterday to be told I've a job interview at Halfords at 1pm on Saturday. Don't get me wrong, I really really want the job, i also don't want to miss the football.
I have a season ticket, but don't want to put it on the exchange incase my dad ends up having a lunatic sat next to him.
Do I go for my dream job, or blank it and go the match?

These dreams you are having, do they involve bicycles?

I reckon post it on social media and get some traction from cwr and they can make you a featured story and maybe a gofund me to get a helicopter arrival to the car park and a video note from lampard for them to move your interview and give you the job.

That said my Dad did re-arrange his wedding day to attend the 87 cup final. He got divorced in the end, so he actually made the right call it seems

I wonder if that couple who married at the hotel the team were staying at the day before the final in 87 are still around and together.
Didn’t Killer take off her garter or something?

How many do you think will miss the game on Saturday because they think it's 3pm? That's when I thought it was TBH.

Your life, family and friends are more important than a job.

Job interviews and recruitment overall is a complete lottery and I don't mean how you do in it. Most of the time decisions are made regardless on how an interview goes and is beyond you control/

Obviously try an rearrange. Interviews are totally a two way street so if a client isn't flexible that's a warning red flag sign for the future.

Different if you have no income coming in and are desperate but there will likely be other opportunities/

F@@k Halfords Pete. Think you’re just pedalling this one. Get along to Evan’s Cycles and have a word with my mate Big Mike. He’ll keep the gates locked at the CBS Arena until you arrive.

Your boss clearly isnt a City fan so fek him and tell him to shove his job up his arse, but dont call him to say that until after 1pm so you've wasted his time and phone him from the Cherry Tree.

****Quick Update****
I rang the store and spoke to the manager about changing the time of the interview, he asked my reasoning and I said its because I've agree to dog sit my sisters 3 German Shepherds. He seemed to understand and told me he'd call me back.
Now here is the interesting part. He agreed for me to have an interview over Zoom at the same time as previously agreed.
I'm in a bit of a predicament now, do I go to the match and sneak out to somewhere quiet at 1pm, how do I make myself look at home, does anyone have a green screen?
Or do I just do it from home, but then I still need the dogs in the background??
Getting stressed and starting to scratch.

Simple, take a picture of where you would sit, photoshop 3 German shepherds into it, print it off across about 20 A4 sheets and ask people around you in the stand to hold them up so it looks like you're at home in the background. For the noise just pretend there's builders outside making loads of news.

If they ask about the dogs, say they are well-trained and you told them not to move.

Bring the dogs to the game and conduct the interview from your seat. Pretend to be blind to facilitate getting the dogs into the ground if neccessary.
Just remember to remove your dark glasses and put down your white stick before the interview begins
