Question.......

I got an email that was dated yesterday and sent at 5:43 p.m. I read it this morning around 11 a.m. It was an offer for a phone interview for either today or tomorrow.

I replied that tomorrow, July 3 would be fine and the time for the interview was at the writer's discretion as I was free all day. It is now 8:40 EST and I have no reply from the sender. What should I do?

Also what's interesting is that it is not for a job I applied for within this organization. I have found a job description and I do meet the qualifications. I'm not even sure what City this job is located in.

Help!!

I am cross posting in the career help and advice.

1. Kick.

I don't really know.... maybe they will just call you tomorrow, so stay near the phone.

I'm kicking in case anyone else can offer you some advice. Good luck, mrmpa!

3. Email them again...

It's usually a good sign from the employers point of view if you are eager about a position. Just don't make it sound like they made a mistake.

6. it was ok..............

the call came at 1:17 p.m. and the interviewer was not the person whom I had been in contact with. He also did not have a copy of my resume and it's an entry level position (which is all right), but if I'm able to get this position, the salary will be the sticking point. I do know however, that they look at experience in regard to salary & I have 10 years experience.

7. You never know!

Sometimes the interview that went spectacularly will end up a big fat zero. Kind of unprofessional of the person not having your resume, though.

I hope it works out for you.
