Scheduling Conflict

[LttleMsPrEp]

I recently started a new job and got my schedule for the week of recruitment.. my manager knows that I plan on rushing and is trying the best he can to be lenient as far as scheduling but one of the days I'm scheduled to work conflicts with my recruitment schedule. It's informal rush so PNM's are able to attend as many or as few open houses and etc. as they wish but on the day I'm scheduled to work i'm missing about 4 possibly 5 parties. Three of those parties are the final open houses before their invite only parties. I tried fixing my schedule but there's no way to get out of it.

Is it safe to assume that if I'm not able to attend the second open house before invite only parties that it will decrease my chances of getting a bid? Part of me wants to think that the houses would be pretty understanding of the scheduling conflict but I'm not too sure. Recruitment hasn't even started yet so I guess that my best option is to just make the best impression that I can at the parties I am able to attend so that they'll remember me for future parties and talk to the houses whose party I'll miss so that they understand... but are there any other options?
