Im looking to move roles. I’m in a competitive profession.
Two weeks ago I was contacted by a recruiter who presented this job which was ideal, just what I was looking for with a big pay rise. My cv had been put forward without my name in the first instance and yesterday I was told the company was extremely interested and all but offering me the job just based on experience. They therefore wanted to set up the interview asap.
I have had an email with the interviewer’s name. It’s someone I was in contact with 5 years ago directly (ie not via a recruiter) and we had a pleasant conversation in which I had explained I wasn’t sure if I wanted to move from current job etc but I was still interested in meeting. There was various back and forth and he offered a date to meet ‘how about 3rd November at 5pm?’. I never responded to this email and I don’t remember why…I guess I got caught up in things at work. I’m not sure.
how bad is this? He is a nice man but very ‘on it’ and the recruiter said he will likely remember as he’s the sort of person to do do. It was rude of me not to respond. Am I overthinking or right that he may write me off now?
