I just got a call this morning to interview for a job I was interested in, but I applied for it ages ago. The problem is that they want me to come in tomorrow. I am still looking for a new job, but I'm not desperate at this point. If you were in this situation, would you jump at the chance, or do you think it's okay to request a bit more time since it took them this long to contact me?

I would say strike while the iron is hot. Go when they are available if it's a job you are particularly interested in. Yeah, it sucks that they took a while to get back to you, but don't let your ego get in the way of a good job!

Assuming I didn't have a scheduling conflict, I would just go to the interview. From my perspective it wouldn't be a problem. If I'm looking for a job I'm ready to go when it comes to interviewing. I don't understand what would be gained by asking for more time, beyond perhaps looking like you're playing hard to get.

A lot of factors for me to consider. How long ago was ages ago, and how good does the job look? If you need more time, I don’t see it as an issue or an excuse to request longer. Just up to you and your schedule.

I’d probably take the interview if I could make it work. Worst case, you don’t take the job, but you’ve made a new connection and practiced your pitch.

Do you want to keep eating spaghetti o’s or eat steaks…
