How to Reply An Interview Email Confirming Time Schedule (With Templates)

You have been given the opportunity to express your worthiness of the vacant post you applied for. You are thrilled! This is fine.

And while you are thinking of all that you need for the interview, you realized you need to confirm the time for the interview. This is as well normal, but you need to be careful because whether you know it or not, your assessment has started. Plus, the last thing you want is to get to the venue of the interview late, or worse, at the end of the interview.

So, What Do You Do?

Control your excitement and/or anxiety. And if you are not; well, try to be optimistic. Send a reply to the Interview Email and confirm time schedule.

These guidelines will be of great help:

• First, remember, you need to be brief and precise
• Start with the salutation
• Next is gratitude. Gratitude goes a long way. Express the gratitude you felt on receiving the interview mail; thanking the company for the opportunity given to you to represent yourself on why you should be employed
• Confirm the date and time for the interview. Do not leave out the venue. You need to make them aware that you know how significant time is to them and you. After all, punctuality is the soul of all business
• State that the time is fine by you
• If the given time is not convenient for you, the reasons must be germane. Please state the reason(s) and suggest an appropriate one
• Express gratitude again in your closing remarks

Dear Sir,

I write to acknowledge your invitation for an interview with me. I applied for the post of the radiologist in your diagnostic institute. I am exceedingly grateful for this opportunity. Nonetheless, the time and date for the interview states tomorrow by 9:00 am in your facility, but I happen to be outside the state at the moment to visit my mother who just got hospitalised.

I have booked the only available flight back, but expected time of arrival is 9:15 am and another 20-minute drive to your institute. If it pleases you, I will appreciate if the interview holds by 10:00 a.m.I do understand that time is of the essence and there are other applicants available to be interviewed, but I hope you consider my plight.

I await your decision.

Thank you in anticipation for a positive response.

Yours faithfully,
Mr. Ryan Petrelli

Conclusion

Remember it is very important to confirm the interview time as soon as you discover a need to do so. Bear in mind that your recipient may also have to consult other people in the organization to respond to you appropriately. Giving enough time for the recipient to reply you will help ensure you eventually get a response. If need be, you could send a follow-up email to get an answer.
