Ummm..okay...

Got an e-mail from the manager of the department that I did the phone interview for. She wants to set up a face to face interview, but I removed myself from consideration for the position yesterday (even have the response from the HR lady). Do I ignore it? Or forward to the HR lady?

I would reply and CC the HR woman, and politely let her know you've removed yourself from consideration at this time and thank her for her interest.

Good idea. Thanks Motzie

Yep.

That is so weird. Actually, it could be another sign of the lack of professionalism there. Obviously the two of them aren't communicating very well.

Poor punctuality, plus poor communication =/= somewhere I'd want to work. Motzie is dead on with this one.

Thanks Ladies

[captainmel]

Weird.

Maybe they just want to be your friend.

I replied to the lady who contacted me to schedule the interview, she apologized for sending me the e-mail. SO.WEIRD.

[margarita]

Bizarre.

Why did you remove yourself from consideration?

[cuddlyevil]

Because the more I thought about it, the more I'm iffy about the job. Originally, I applied for a different position. She called me about another one. I have no specific information about the position beyond the department and how much it pays. The lady who conducted the phone interview was 10 minutes late for our prearranged call with no apology and she wrapped everything up without giving me a chance to ask questions (and she didn't send me anything in detail on the position like I asked her to).

Hmm, if it's not too late, I would definitely go in and do the face to face interview to get more information. Maybe it was just a quick call to see if you'd be a fit for the position, in which the manager would probably fill you in on the details?

[cuddlyevil]

The hiring manager saw my resume and wanted to interview me. So maybe?

But honestly, as much as I could use the extra money, I don't know if I want to work over there. I applied there after a couple really rough weeks here, and things have since improved so it may not be in my best interest to jump ship right now.
