I received an interview invite from a recruiter for an initial phone screening. Both the company and the role are fairly mediocre, though the company is well known within its niche industry. The earliest available time the recruiter had on the booking link was exactly one month out. I actually forgot I had even booked the interview until my calendar reminded me the day before.

Who schedules an initial screening call a month in advance?

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
