Recruiter (yesterday) asked me to give dates to come in for an interview next week. One of the suggestions was Monday. If I haven’t heard anything do I follow up to see if Monday works or just wait?

You’ve barely given any time for a reply. This is like pinging someone to say “hey I sent you an email 37 seconds ago, can you read it?” They have to check with multiple people to see if they can move things around or meet. And you’re not the only one they’re talking to to get in for an interview.
It’s unlikely Monday with such short notice and tbh you don’t want to interview on a Monday. People are crabby and focused on the week ahead.

Good advice!

Ignore what that @ACD1 wrote. He’s an idiot. Listen to CD1. His advice is more sound.

(I bet ACD1 gave that partially thought-out advice while sitting bored out of his mind in a meeting. He should know better)

Just show up on Monday like hey I’m here. I have bagels. Let’s do this!

likefunny

I’m young enough, bold enough...I would. But I really want this one. But not a bad idea!

Assume Monday isn’t happening if you don’t hear by eod. Chill this weekend and give yourself some time to get in the right headspace for the meeting when it does happen. All of this impatience is going to work against you when you ultimately meet! You want to show that you’re interested, but relaxed - that’s also when the best aspects of your personality shine through without effort.

If you don’t hear back by Monday on a confirmed date, follow up Tuesday. And good luck!👍

If you don’t hear back by 4PM, follow up.

For next time I’d also just put a few available dates so they have more to choose from just in case Monday doesn’t work out. That’s helped me at least

No worries! Still a really good tip! :)
I’m pumped, thank you for sending the vibes!
