What is better to do? Pleas help?

So I have an interview set up with a firm.
Since I applied, things have changed a little, and I can't start working until next summer.
I obviously want to work with this firm next year though.
Should I cancel the interview? Ask them now whether they'd consider me for next year instead? Or ask them about it after I actually get an offer?
Trying to see what's the best course of action to leave at least some future possibility with this firm..

Please help!! Thanks :cry:

What do they think they're hiring you for?

I know. That's why I'm asking which action (or any other suggestions) would do the least damage..

I mean, it's July. What is going on here. You were trying to get a termtime gig? Or are you a 0L? What's the story?

No. It's an associate position. Graduated. Heard back last month.
Told them I could start in Sept. but things changed and can't start till next June..
So any thoughts?

Not sure if this is serious. It sounds like you have a 1 year clerkship. Tell the firm,ask if they still want to interview you. Very easy

It's not. Just curious if they would still reconsider me next year if I cancel interview and reapply next year... Or if it's better to get an offer first and then ask for extension then.

It's not a clerkship but you're considering backing out of a job with a firm?
