I added the context - the interview situation
|
| May 6, 2021 at 1:56 | comment | added | Codewife_101 | @Lambie I missed the word "talk" ("I wanted to say that I cannot talk tomorrow because I scheduled too many calls and don't have time for another one."). It's hard to say if I require appointments. I was interviewing for a job and I scheduled a lot of calls with recruiters/ hiring managers. I don't work in the service industry. I wanted to express that "all my available slots (to talk) are taken." | |
