Hello Folks,

What the hell is going on in my life? I have very few opportunities and when I finally get a first interview through Skype for Ireland tomorrow, another company in Mexico ask me for an interview the same day, an hour later. This happened to me yesterday and I don´t know what to do because I have already scheduled the interview with Ireland one week ago. Yesterday, a well known and big company based in Mexico City asked me for my CV at 6.00 a.m. and told me that the HR Manager will interview me but without a date. Then, when I submitted my CV to the HR Manager, he replied me if I can go there on thursday and I was requested to submit a CV again in the company format. I explained him kindly that I have another commitment and if they could give me another day, if not I would try to cancel the other commitment but then, no reply. He also told me that he will give me details about where the interview will take place but I don´t know anything because I am still waiting his reply.

Should I call him today as soon as possible to see what happened?

Thanks

Yes, contact him via phone to confirm your availability for another time as you have a schedule conflict that is firm. If they really are interested in you, they will be flexible with you. Good luck.

Before calling him, what if they are not flexible? I got it by Linkedin networking. I don´t want to cancel my interview for Ireland if I don´t have any guarantee with this company. Let me to know that they didn´t even tell me if I will be interviewed for a position, I don´t know nothing.

If they aren't flexible to reschedule an interview then it's probably not a place I'd want to work. This is a bad indicator often times.

If they really are interested in you and are a decent company they will have some flexibility. If they budge none, then screw them.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Just take a deep breath and relax. People have busy schedules. If they really are interested in you, they will get back to you and work with you.

I will do a follow up but I don´t know if it worths burning my energy and patience or I will be better taking it easy and keep on with my job hunting. It´s still a mistery for me, though, why employers appear and disappear leaving me hopeless.

I have received an email from the HR Manager. He apologized and then gave me another date for an interview through Hangouts because the interview would be in Mexico City and I am living in another city. If I pass the interview with HR I require to go directly to a further speaking with the Director. I feel good right now, I have an interview tomorrow for Ireland (I got It by submitting my CV) and another interview on Monday for Mexico (got it by networking).

I don´t know if I will succeed but surely I will remember this time forever. I am anxious to end this nightmare.

PS. Somebody knows how to use Hangouts? (epic fail)
