Due to the sometimes significant differences present in AN patients including health, age, size of tumor, surgeons skill, success of the surgery (no complications) and the individuals ability to recover quickly, there can be no template for recovery time that would give you assurance that you'll be ready to handle a two-hour job interview at two weeks post-op. That noted, it is possible.
I underwent a 9-hour 'debulking' surgery on a 4.5 cm AN and had an excellent recovery. No complications, released from hospital on my fifth day (after completing a balance test to the PT nurse's satisfaction). My first few days at home were defined by massive fatigue and I did little but nap, watch TV and sleep - a lot. By day 5, I felt better, was bored and determined to get my life back so I started walking at a local park a few miles every day (my wife accompanied me). By seven days out of hospital I felt much better and was getting out more often. By two weeks out I was driving the interstate (with my doctors approval, of course). I had a few tiny issues that did not affect my quality of life. I was SSD going into surgery and that didn't change but by that point I had fully adjusted to the condition. I was 63 at the time (in otherwise good health) and recently retired so I can't state whether slogging through a two hour job interview would have been possible for me but I think it might have been feasible, although a strain.
If this prospective interview materializes, you'll have to make the call on whether you're up to it. If you cannot postpone it, you may have no choice but to attempt it. If that is the case, I suggest you get as much rest as possible prior to the interview, try not to stress out over it and use your determination to get through it successfully. I wish you well.
