We are interviewing for a new admin person - I will be one of the people most involved with this new person, and I was involved with shortlisting. I was told the original interview day and time (10 a.m., 17th July) but it was only by chance that I was told this had been changed. I then had to specifically enquire when the new day was and was told either 7th (today) or 8th August. So I transferred the original time to today's (and tomorrow's) date in the diary. No further notification was sent. To be fair, I could have pressed for more information last week had I thought about it, but I knew I needed to be in the office at 10 today so was just getting ready to leave the house at 9.20* when it occurred to me to call and check.
The interviews were starting at 9.30. And no-one had told me.
Now, I'm sure I could have pressed harder, but I am a little p***ed off that no-one told me. And one of the other admin staff asked me "wasn't I doing the interviews?" and agreed with me that annoyance was perfectly justified. So I'm not sure now if this is just unprofessionalism on the part of the person who arranged the interviews, or the fact that they didn't agree with my shortlist.
It's not a big thing... not worth getting stressed over... just annoying.
*yes, this is normal
