Interview time flexibility (contact info)

[Jon_Doe]

So I was invited for the E2 interview, but the only issue is I am working on all 4 days (because of course).

How flexible are they on those dates and do yall have a contact info, because I emailed back the person/email that sent me invite link/email, but have yet to get an answer back and the dates are slowly starting to get picked up.

If you want the job you’d make the time. If you can’t find 30 mins within 4 days to do an interview it would raise a flag that you’d be hard to deal with for the employer. There’s a lot of applicants and they will move on to another one who can find 30 mins in 4 days!

Why don’t you ask the person who sent you the interview invite how flexible they are as well that person is the best contact you have. You won’t get a better than that from anyone on here!
You may not even have received an invite and are just fishing on here to get someone to provide info so you can try to get into the company’s system.

I did contact them twice already but its been radio silence for almost 3 days now and the available interview slots keep dwindling down.

My job is on call, i can’t just “make time”. I wish i could…

You want Porter to be flexible but aren’t being flexible yourself. Ask a colleague to switch shifts, call in sick etc. Porter HR knows you have options and I’m pretty sure you’ve just blew your chances for interview. There’s way to many applicants and their HR would rather deal with and hire someone who’s not a headache.

Yeah same as Porter asking people to start 'next week' giving their employer 4 days notice with no flexibility.

There is NOTHING wrong with someone sticking to their morals and working their assigned shifts, and being able to re-book the interview when appropriate.

Same as there is NOTHING wrong with someone not accepting a groundschool that gives their current employer reasonable notice.

I've heard from multiple friends and former colleagues about Porter expecting them to burn their bridges and start at Porter with short notice, with NO flexibility when someone says "I want to give my employer more notice". Same stuff Sky Regional used to do.

If an employer won't respect you before they hire you, don't expect them to respect you once they own you.

Reality is there’s unfortunately lack of respect everywhere in society today. I agree with you 100% but reality isn’t that. If Porter is using those tactics they must be working for them.
If one wants something bad enough they will do what it takes like calling in sick, switching shifts, use vacation day. Options the member has to use if they choose to. If they don’t someone else will and Porter HR knows that. Whether that’s the right or wrong approach Porter HR doesn’t care.

Not sure how a quick “hey sorry to bother are there any other block of dates available” is being a headache but sure.

It’s usually not but to Porter HR apparently it is!

Booking off could get you into a mountain of shit if your current employer found out, not worth the risk IMO.

[nohojob]

Just book off sick or take a personal day.

That simple.

If you dont mind me asking, how many hours do you have? I have been waiting for 3 months now and still no answer?

I wouldn't stress. I was in a similar situation, it took them 9 days to get back to me. I just let them know a list of days I was available and they rescheduled. I ended up in the same class as everyone else who was in the earlier batch of interviews so not the end of the world. As yytfo mentions, be prepared for the "Can you start next week?" line......

For the folks saying to take a personal or sick day, it all depends on your operation, it's size, and your situation. That probably works in most cases, but not all. In my case, we were short on pilots. I was on call (medevac) and calling in sick would have meant taking a plane offline with no medical coverage for our area in the north. Not something I was prepared to do for an interview....

Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
