I'd like to thank this organization for reading my blog and then proceeding in such a way as to generate material for a new blog post.
That's the only logical explanation, so that's what I'm going with...
On Thursday about 10 am I received an email invitation to interview for a job (I had just applied about 5 am, so this was very exciting!).
Phone interview would be on Tuesday (today) - requested I select time slot from list in the email.
I replied around noon (same day / Thursday) with something along the lines of: thank you for the opportunity to learn more about [Company X] and the position. I'm available time 1 and time 2. [etc.]
No reply or confirmation Thursday or Friday.
I emailed them again Monday: Thank you again for your help in scheduling the phone interview for tomorrow. Please confirm the time so that I may adjust my schedule accordingly. If you would please also let me know with whom my interview is scheduled, I will prepare my questions appropriately. [etc.]
No reply Monday, no reply or call today.
You'd think I had contacted them and asked them for an interview. Nope. They did indeed contact me about the interview - complete with a date and time slots. I went back and re-read it about 10 times to be sure I wasn't making it all up.
Yeah, it's cool. No need to even drop a short email. I can only assume that Company X sees themselves as so high and mighty that as an applicant, I do not even warrant the courtesy of a 'thanks but no thanks' after YOU CONTACTED ME.
I'll just scratch this non-profit off my list of organizations I may wish to work for and add them to the 'WTF is wrong with these people?' list.
This WTF list is getting kinda long...
