idk if you wanna interview me at least give me a call or at least an email, companies that just send you a notification to the website you applied through are dumb
Its basic respect and courtesy to email the potential employee. If you’re putting hoops to jump through with no actual incentive then you dont deserve employees.
Oh, in that case I agree with you. Although, if I were putting in all that legwork, I’d like to think I’d be checking my replies on a daily basis. But yeah, it’s pretty standard to email or call someone if you want an interview with them. LOL. Just arbitrarily throwing out a date and time means they don’t respect you or your schedule at all, and you probably don’t want to work for them.
I was applying for postdoc fellowships while doing a gig as an adjunct prof (do not recommend); I got an email from a PI who wanted to set up an interview, followed by couple more that told me that I need to respond to emails if I want to get a job anywhere in academia. All of these were delivered in the span of one lab session I was teaching. I told her as much and she told me I needed to stop wasting her time. I told her that, with that attitude, it looked like I dodged a bullet.
