Is this sentence grammatically correct?

"It's only the second time I am having a job interview." Would it be a bad idea to say this to an English speaking interviewer? And if so, why?

Thank you.

I am sorry, I would personally never say this to an interviewer. I just wanted to know if the sentence itself is grammatically incorrect. (local university examiners seem to think so)

You are a smart interviewee!

It is borderline incorrect. Strict grammarians would probably assess it that way because "have" is mainly used as a static verb.

So it's just kind of awkward rather than being downright incorrect. That's what I thought too.

Thanks for the help.
