I applied for a job and 3 weeks later I get an email saying I was confirmed next week for an interview at x time with the director of x. Having had no communication with the company prior to this email, I was contemplating a response, until I received another email 30 minutes later saying they set the first email in error and weren't moving forward with my application.

How do I respond to this? Will asking the reason why they're not considering my app hurt my future chances at this company?

Just ignore the second one. Respond to the first one saying you are excited about the opportunity and looking for to talking to them.

See if they double down or just interview you

Good idea. I’m going to try this. Will let you know how it goes :)

You can ask for feedback but it’s unlikely they’ll give you any since it’s so early in the process. It won’t hurt you though

Is this something you think about when looking to leave?

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
