This week I had a recruiter for a company I applied to text me at 2:30pm requesting a phone interview at 4:30pm the same day. I replied that I was unavailable but listed several other dates and times as alternatives. The recruiter did not reply and did not reply to an additional follow up text.
I know often the goal of recruiters is to find reasons to eliminate candidates from consideration if they have several candidates. Would not accepting the first offer time for an interview be reason enough to remove me from consideration totally?
Usually I will accommodate whatever time a company requests for an interview this was the first time I was not able too and it was just due to the short notice.
tldr: Is it unreasonable as a job seeker to not accommodate the first time and date sent over by the employer for an interview?
