    I'm currently on holiday in LA (I'm just about to leave to go to the original Disney today woooo) and I don't arrive home until 22nd April! The last timeslot for phone interviews is 21st April at 4:15pm which is obviously no good! I've emailed Hannah asking if I could have another date, I know I'll be jetlagged as hell but even 22nd would be great.

    I know it says on the original email about getting a different interview time but I'm worried that this is going to go against my application!

    Has anyone else asked for a different time too or know anyone that's been accepted when they had an interview at a later date?

    in sept I made a mistake and thought my interview was for a friday and it was a thursday and YJ werent interviewing on a Friday but they offered to do the interview on the friday for me anyways - so they can be flexible

    The fact that they put in the email about offering another time and date if you were unavailable for those days leads me to believe they'll be as flexible as they can be. Especially since you're on holiday - there's nothing you can do about it and I'm sure they'll understand that.

    They did mention Skype in the email, so it might be worth finding out - if you have a laptop that has Skype, or that you can download Skype onto - if you could do it that way, so you could still do it on one of the days of the phone interview. Maybe just to ease your mind that you're not putting them out too much.

    I hope it works out for you!

    Can you just not use your mobile and sort out a date that matches up with the time difference? Surely the roaming charges must be worth it!!

    Im sure yummy doesn't want a MASSIVE phone bill! I suggested that I call them from LA but its ok their calling me at home tomorrow. I highly doubt that they would have called LA anyway, Esspecially as i live 5 minutes away from yummy's head offices :)
