I applied for a job in a completely different part of the country. It would be a big move for us but we’re flexible about where we live and the job was interesting so it was worth an application.
Today I got an email at 4pm asking me to attend an in-person interview at the location tomorrow at 12pm. The email said it would take 20minutes.
I emailed them straight back (no contact number given to phone them) and asked if due to the short notice I could attend on a different day this week or have the interview virtually, and they replied at 5.40pm with the exact same email as the first time - no acknowledgment that I had asked a question (strange).
AIBU to not attend? No interview dates were provided on the application/advert - if they had been I would have made sure I could travel on these dates. But at such short notice I simply can’t arrange to be half way across the country for a 20minute interview (which will clearly be a first round one anyway). I think not acknowledging my question about accommodating a different interview method or date and just resending the first email is their way of saying the interview can’t be moved, which is fair enough, but it’s very frustrating to be given such little notice!!!!
