I had a 10-15 minute phone interview scheduled for today. I received reminders as to what time my interview was. I had scheduled it during my break with my current employer. I stepped away in time for the call, and I waited. 20 minutes later, it finally came, I had already returned to work. I then get a text saying I can withdraw my application. What is going on? They were late, not me! Why am I not offered a new time along with an apology for their lack of time management?

Make sure you respond via email that you were scheduled for X time and did not receive a call until X time, to which you were unavailable. They will either reschedule or brush it off - think that in itself is telling.

I attempted rescheduled a couple of live interviews due to scheduling conflicts. Both were not interested in assisting me. If anything starts off negative, like a message withdrawing your resume, do so, and walk away knowing you made the right choice. Do you think this is a people oriented employer. Things happen. We are all in this together.

You are absolutely correct.

I am sorry to hear that which I had something like that happen to me which was for a virtual screen, I had rescheduled my appointment which was rescheduled although I was told the wrong time as the person rescheduled it on Zoom for 2 PM yet told me 11 AM. I emailed the recruiter who had someone else who did the screen at 2 PM although I could tell they did not put much effort into it.

Why did you not get an apology or a reschedule? It is actually pretty simple if you think about it as things like work ethic, common sense, people skills, reading /comprehension, "soft skills", and the human race have been de-evolving over the years. It does not take more than a minute to apologize to someone and reschedule.

The lack of apology shows a distinct lack of respect for the candidate’s time and a very poor first impression by the interviewing company.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

I’m a business/commercial lawyer with 8 years experience looking to relocate to Chicago from NYC area, while also trying to make the jump to in-house after only ever working at a boutique firm. It’s been 5 months and I haven’t had any luck applying to job postings on the usual sites (no calls, no interviews, nothing). I can’t tell if this is due to covid, the market, the fact that I don’t have any in-house experience, the fact that I live out of state, or something else entirely. Any insights??
