Interviewer didn't turn up!

Had an interview today (currently unemployed so really need this) on Zoom, as all my interviews are now.

The interview was with HR. It went well and she asked if I could do a second interview with the line manager later that day. She sent the invitation to him and said he'd accepted.

I quickly prep for this second interview feeling very pleased and excited.

I log in...no one else joins. After 10 minutes I send a polite email to the line manager saying I'm in the meeting.

After 15 minutes I email HR, explain the situation and that I'm logging out and would love to reschedule.

After another 90 minutes I get a not very apologetic or warm email from the line manager saying there has been a mix up and he wasn't available but would ask HR to reschedule.

I replied to say these things happen and attached updated version of my CV since I applied.

This was all a couple of hours ago. No response back and no rescheduled interview time.

It's for a senior role.

It's put me off a bit...do you think I'm being oversensitive?

I had this happen to me in a f2f. There were train problems but looking back it should have been a red flag as they didn’t bother to rearrange and didn’t seem apologetic. I never liked working for that person and felt their behaviour was close to bullying.

It's definitely a red flag butI know what it's like to be desperate. I really hope your dream job appears and you don't have to move.
