The lack of notice for VP-level interviews is getting out of hand. I’m being asked to travel or block out entire days with maybe two days' notice. Is it a red flag to the recruiter if I can’t drop everything immediately? I don't want to lose the opportunity, but I also need to stay on top of my current role. How are you all handling these last-minute asks without coming across as uninterested?

It’s a red flag if you could drop everything for an interview. I would tell the recruiter how much time you need, and if that can’t be met, just move on. Underline that you are interested, but you do have commitments to balance.

Exactly... Everyone is busy... I had someone pull out of an interview with 10 mins notice because they had a family emergency... Life

I don’t think that’s a red flag — not everyone can drop everything to attend an interview. I’d just explain the situation and let them know you need a little more time. Interviewing while currently employed can be really challenging.

True

I do not see this as a red flag on you at all. I think it says more about chaotic internal processes. I would set reasonable boundaries once and see how they react. That response tells you a lot.

Can anyone tell me about infusion nursing? How did you get into it? (I see a lot of job postings but they all want experience.) Also I got my RN early in the pandemic, so I never got a preceptorship, and I’ve since worked mostly in immunizations. Took a phlebotomy/IV course for more practice, but… any advice?

Should I grab the Amex Plat and not think twice?? Thanks!!
