Keep the option open for rescheduling from ravitejafe's blog

Besides presenting yourself well by being timely and communicating quickly, it is also courteous to apologize for needing to reschedule your meeting at this late notice. That way, the employer has a good impression of you despite not meeting face-to-face during the initial meeting time. You may also want to inquire if any other dates or times are available so that you don’t miss out on the opportunity to interview with them completely. Showing respect for someone else's time will help build relationships for future encounters.

If you find yourself in a situation where rescheduling an already planned job interview is necessary, it's important to communicate with your interviewer. Proactivity can be essential for a good impression, and sending a message explaining the need for change means the employer will be aware of the issue. Even if there are only potential circumstances arising that could end up requiring a date change, it’s best not to wait until the last minute – if changes do arise and there is no prior communication about them, the interviewer may be considerably more displeased.

Letting an employer know kindly of any potential delays has a positive side, too, as it allows them plenty of time to plan accordingly and alert their team of any forthcoming alterations. It demonstrates responsibility and understanding on behalf of you - the applicant - that such advanced notice can help the organization plan their schedule; in addition to that, such polite behavior leaves your name positively in their minds regardless of whether or not they rebook an alternative day for interviewing you.
