My startup is rapidly growing. As a 1-woman marketing department, how do I ask for a promotion?
I manage marketing/PR/international business development for a growing tech startup at our global headquarters. I feel I'm ready for more responsibility on top of what I've taken on -- the many hats I wear I initiated as part of a career goal of building experience in international business development.
The reason I haven't asked for a raise/promotion is 1) I haven't been at the company for a full year yet (though I'm more a "veteran" than the many newer employees and have proven my value to the company) and 2) our company organizational structure is not well defined. My direct manager is the CEO. Therefore, if I ask for a promotion they'd basically be creating a new position and/or just changing my job title and giving me further responsibilities. This is definitely what I want along with a pay bump, but not sure how to go about asking. My boss is (understandably) very busy and it's hard to get his attention, so my time with him first goes to my actual work as priority.
I did create a visual presentation of sorts that shows how my marketing campaigns have driven business growth, which I may use in the actual asking. However, I'm unsure on whether to ask for a specific salary amount.

Do recruiters care if you reschedule the interview?
I’m sick and have an upcoming interview. The interview is with the in house recruiter via video so assuming it won’t be the most difficult interview. Not sure if I should wing it or risk losing the job if I reschedule because I know they hate that and also not sure where they are in the hiring process.

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue.
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring. I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best. I'm praying to god, to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance. I’m currently still going through the interview process. Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals. Has anyone been in this situation before?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you
