Once you confirm attendance you will receive a boiler plate email that reads in part: "We look forward to meeting with you! You will have an opportunity to sit down with our hiring manager to discuss the position applied for and review more of your qualifications. The preliminary interview typically lasts between 30-45 minutes, so please accommodate accordingly. As we discussed earlier today, your appointment is scheduled for (date) 2018 (time). If for any reason you are unable to make this date or time, please send us an email. The dress is business casual and remember to bring a printed copy of your resume. We are located at 690 8th Ave, New York, NY... They end the email with: "Please reply to (alluremarketinggroup email) to confirm your appointment.”
And here begins is my issue. My contact, the HR Dept. Manager wrote back: "If you... have questions regarding the position you applied for, please do not hesitate to give us a call.” And so i called. Within a couple of rings an automated voice stated that "sorry but this number is not accepting calls”. So i emailed her, a few hours before the scheduled meeting, indicating that I had called. I then wrote that i would have liked to ask her a few questions before we met, and to please let me know a better time to call, or call me, and that until we spoke to postpone our meet. Now, i didn’t get a reply to that email; instead, the contact texted me, writing "I am in and out of the office today and we do not conduct phone interviews.” Fine, don’t interview me on the phone, but i should be able to ask some clarifying questions before meeting anyone, right? She replied by text that I asked how could she assist on the message thread. I replied back that, as a reminder, the original email stated that if I had questions regarding the position I applied for, to "please do not hesitate to give us a call.” Then the contact texted asking what was the issue, to which i replied that I had some questions i would like answered first before meeting. She asked back why had i not texted my questions. I replied that there were too many questions to ask by text, that i just needed a few minutes on the phone.
At that point i reread the entire text exchange and found the tone of her texts a bit abrupt and unprofessional, so i ended texting to disregard my inquiry and to cancel my interview, to which she replied "I agree. We need candidates who are punctual and good problem solvers.” What the...? I called her and emailed her hours before the meeting, but time management, communications, and etiquette are obviously not the forte of Ms. Out-of-the-Office-all-day-Monday morning-and-If-you-have-questions-regarding-the-position-you-applied-for-Please-do-not-hesitate-to-give-us-a-call.” Sheesh!
