Open with

Hi, I'm calling about my interview.

Then say

It's Alex, booked for Wednesday at 10am.
Something has come up and I can't make that time.
Would it be possible to move it?
Tell me what suits you and I'll work around it.

If they ask

May I ask why?: I have a commitment that day I can't move.
We can't reschedule.: Understood. I'll come at the original time.
When are you free?: Any day after 10am works for me.

Ending

Thank you for working around it.

Before you dial

Keep a pen and paper next to you.
Read the opening line out loud once.
It is fine to ask them to repeat something.
Write down what was agreed after you hang up.
