I Got An Interview

Its a phone interview and I'm scared im gonna miss it. They did give me many times to choose from. None of them are ideal since i work those hours .

I suggested another time.
Do you think I'll get passed up?
I only have lunch time to do an interview if they dont agree to the 7.30am that i proposed and I'm scared im gonna miss the call.

@iamnikki Yeah that sucks, she's going to make it as convenient as possible for her, of course.... if you have no other choice what you wrote is good.., maybe write something like, ... "Sorry to bother you again. I received the interview invite for 8/15 at 10:00 am. I apologise but the only time i have available for an interview is 12:00pm on Friday the 16th, I really hope this time will work for you as this is the only time i have available as i am currently working otherwise, and I am very much looking forward to interviewing with you"....

what you have written is good too, hard to tell how they are going to react, i hope it goes well for you

@Tminus6453 Thank you VERY much, that sounds great, and I will use it.

Did you explain you couldn't do the times they suggested because you would be at work? I can't speak for others, but if I were hiring and the person I wanted to interview told me that and proposed a different time (or better, gave a few other alternatives), then I would work to make it work for him/her.

@iamnikki Yes, I think that sounds fine. My only suggestions:

— Offer more than one day if possible. Especially because it’s not uncommon these days for companies to have “summer hours” that effectively have people leaving at or near noon.

— Close out with something strong, like, “Thank you for working with me to find an acceptable time. I’m excited for the opportunity to see if I’ll be a fit at X.” (Where X, of course, is replaced by the company ;) )

Good luck! You’re gonna kill it!

@LookingForIt987 Thanks, but it's already been sent. Since we are going back and forth, anything sooner than friday wouldn't give me time to prepare and get and 'okay'

@iamnikki Sorry I didn’t get back to you a bit sooner. Good luck!

You're doing fine, this is normal stuff.

I must say 7.30 sounds early, Im sure they will compromise. Just phone and arrange something

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@Ian123 Yea it is, however my current job interviewed someone at 7.30. we don't start til 8am
hopefully this org will help me..

@iamnikki Im sure it will, if they weren't interested they wouldn't be asking you. Hope you get the job and dont worry🤗
