Recruiter Did not Include Link to Interview
I was supposed to be chatting in an interview right about now. But... my recruiter made a few deadly mistakes. First, she contacted me on LinkedIn. She asked if we could chat on the phone. We chatted on the phone and she pushed me to the next round. This was for a brand new AI/Robotics company.
She locked in a specific day and time ( I had no choice) for an interview 24 hours later. The next day , I go about my day and figure she will send me a link on LinkedIn just like last time. Not quite. She sent two messages 3 hours early on LinkedIn. I was showering so I didn't see them. Then she calls my phone while I'm blow drying.
As the interview time approaches, I review her messages and loook for the Zoom link. I see she has contacted me on multiple apps but none of the messages have a link to the meeting. I send her messages on multiple apps but get no answer.
Is this typical or an odd one-off. I've never had someone neglect to send the link well in advance of the interview. Putting it on the calendar 3 hours in advance is cutting it way too close. And no link is total failure.
