I was contacted by a recruiter and asked to provide my availability for a first-round interview. I responded with multiple available time slots. The recruiter confirmed an interview on Monday morning. Unfortunately, I became ill over the weekend. I initially accepted the interview because I didn't want to miss the opportunity, but as my condition worsened while preparing, I informed the recruiter and requested to reschedule.

The recruiter was understanding and rescheduled the interview, and I confirmed the new date. However, the following day I received an email stating that the position had already been filled, so my interview was canceled before the first round took place.
