Depends on how desperate I was for the work but my initial impressions would be that your co couldn't organise a pi55 up in a brewery and what could I be letting myself in for.

If you'd applied for a job, waited two weeks to hear anything, then received a rejection letter, then three days later you get another email saying actually we'd like to interview you?

Because that's exactly what's happened to three candidates who applied for a role I'm advertising. It took us a couple of weeks to get our crap together so we could review applications in some job system. We spent a few hours ahortlisting candidates only later to discover the internal recruiter had gone through the portal and rejected every candidate!!!

What would you now do as the candidate?
