I somehow missed a job interview for a position I'm perfect for. They asked for my availability, I sent it, and heard nothing for a week. Today I'm checking my email to follow up and found they sent a calendar invite 3 days ago that I never saw. The interview time has already passed. Should I be honest about missing it or just send a normal follow-up?

You should be honest about it, of course. Tell them you didn't see the invitation in your mail and ask if it would be possible to reschedule it. No point in trying to deceive them and send a normal follow-up, whatever that would be.

Well your obviously not perfect. Try harder bud.

In all honesty send HR department and leader recruiter a email and call them if you can find their number

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that. I would just be honest and apologetic. Let them know you are really excited about the role and want the chance to interview for it. Surely they will be understanding.

It happened to me lastweek, I passed the assessment and they sent me link schedule for interview , but I missed it and email them, but thet told me they will not continue the interview,,, Dont worry when someone close Door for us, there will always be an open door waiting,,, just dont loose hope,,,

I would be honest and own it calmly. I would explain what happened, apologise briefly, and ask if they would consider rescheduling. I have found honesty lands better than pretending nothing happened.

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up

Interviewed for Meta exactly 2 weeks ago today. Contacted the recruiter last Tuesday and they said they were waiting to hear back from the hiring manager to discuss the interview results. Anyone that interviewed or gotten a job with Meta how did it take from the onsite to get your decision? Since I had to reach out to the recruiter and haven't heard anything since I assume they're interested in another candidate.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
