**[TRUE STORY]** — by Job seeker · via LinkedIn

A job seeker attended a scheduled video interview immediately after being discharged from hospital, too afraid to ask for a reschedule. Recruiter Juhi Bhatia noticed the candidate looked exhausted and paused the conversation to ask if everything was alright. When the candidate explained the situation, Bhatia told her to rest and assured her the reschedule would not affect her candidacy. The gesture went viral on LinkedIn as a rare counterexample to the parade of recruiter horror stories flooding social media.
