Got contacted on Linkedin about a job I'd seen advertised but dismissed because of commute distance and not being overly interested in the niche it's in
Entertain recruiter's request and have a phone interview, doesn't go too great but recruiter says they want face-to-face interview
Recruiter asks if I'm available on X day, I say sure, after 5:30. Get a short reply back "You'll need to take a half day, say you have a dentist or doctors appt". I politely withdraw my interest in the role- I haven't got PTO to take for something I'm not 100% interested in
Recruiter pesters me, "It's standard practise to have an interview during the working day and ridiculous you can't do it until 5:30". I stay dead silent.
Recruiter gets back to me next day "I've managed to squeeze you in for 5pm, more details to follow"
1. I'm tempted to wait until the day and then say I can't make it. Thoughts?
2, I'm tempted to forward suggestion of lying to my current company to potential employer for them to consider. Thoughts?
3. He's called me the short version of my name throughout (e.g. Ben instead of Benjamin) but I've never referred to myself as 'Ben' which grinds my gears. Am I nit picking?
