Hey everyone, I could use some advice. I had a phone interview scheduled for yesterday at 2:00 pm, but they didn't call. I sent an email around 2:30, and still haven't heard back. I'm thinking I should call them today... but what time would you all suggest I give them a call to see what's going on? I'm trying to be understanding that things happen, but I also don't want to miss out on the opportunity if it was just an oversight.

I don't think there's a certain time that's better to call than any other. I'd just try to do it as soon as possible to figure out what's going on. It was probably just an oversight on the interviewer's part. Annoying, but it does happen.

I would call as soon as possible, making sure you don’t lose out on an opportunity. Make sure they have any and all possible contact info.

Definitely follow up! I’d call late morning if possible, after the rush but before lunch. I’ve had interviews rescheduled last-minute with no warning, so don’t read too much into the silence yet. You’re showing professionalism just by checking in.

Keep at it until you get a confirmation.

As soon as possible and just tell them that you were following up on a possible missed call for the interview and let them know you're still interested in the opportunity. Maybe they'll do the interview right then and there. Good luck! I worked at a Florida Elementary school and now I'm at a High School.

I had an interview online and waited for them to start it for like 20 minutes. They did not apologize for keeping me waiting, and I should have taken that as an indication of future treatment.

If they can't remember to keep the interview with you and it is incumbent upon YOU to follow up and see what happened, personally I think it says a lot about the school culture and what you could expect in working there. Could be wrong, but more often than not what they show you is who they are...

Especially if they did not even follow up with her/his email.

How long have you been in the educational field? Is it your first time? Spread your wings, keep searching. You can check back but don’t be too desperate. There are some factors they might consider. Talk to old coworkers to put in good words for you.
