Job Interview Questions: Missed call for job interview. Do I still have a chance?

I submitted an application for a job on Wednesday and received a call for an interview on Friday. They wanted to interview me by phone on Monday. Unfortunately, I was very busy during my shift at work when the call came in on my cell phone, so I didn't see the missed call until after 5:00 PM that day. Have I lost all hopes of getting this job, or is it worthwhile to call the interview first thing Monday to apologize and reiterate my interest? What should I say?

10 Job Interview Mistakes to Avoid

Recommended Answer:
In the future, it would be best to call back when you do get the missed call, on Friday night in this case. It's fine to miss a call (in fact, saying that you couldn't take it because you were committed to your work should be seen as a good thing for a future employer), but you need to follow up on it quickly.

You should call today and leave a message indicating your interest, apologizing that you weren't able to answer the call on Friday, and say what times you would be available on Monday to have this phone interview. In your message, also state that you will call Monday morning to finalize plans for the phone interview.

Then on Monday morning, you can call again, and they'll hopefully be ready to move forward.

Job Interview Tips That Will Land You Your Dream Job

• Call first thing monday morning and reiterate your interest. Explain that you missed the call and did not realize it until after 5pm. If they left a message tell them you received the message and you are returning their call. If they left a name ask to speak to that person. Good Luck


• Sorry, but if you can't even make an interview appointment you won't get the job.


• Call first thing Monday, Explain that you were at work and could not take the time, then make an appointment.


• adding to what PaulRN said, that would show ur dedicated but be ready next time they call!!
