Scheduling an interview for me without asking if that time works? Thanks for the immediate red flag.

My biggest pet peeve with job searching is when an employer reaches out interested in you and immediately just schedules an interview. Hi OP, Thanks for the interest in our company I would love to talk to you about this position! I'm inviting you to an interview on Friday at 2pm, here is the address. Please bring blah and blah and blah, I look forward to meeting you! Look, you have a busy schedule. You have a limited time for interviews. But you are already saying to me that you are inflexible, you are in a huge rush to fill this position (that's a red flag) and my time is less important than your time. Seriously, the smallest change makes a big difference. Hi OP, Thanks for the interest in our company I would love to talk to you about this position! I'm inviting you to an interview on Friday…

Hi OP,

Thanks for the interest in our company I would love to talk to you about this position! I'm inviting you to an interview on Friday at 2pm, here is the address. Please bring blah and blah and blah. If you are unavailable at this date and time please let me know and we can reschedule for a better date and time, thank you and I look forward to meeting you!

What goes even further is a phone call, a quick chat then inviting someone to an interview with a few dates/times. I swear employers forget there is etiquette involved for them too in the hiring process. It might seem small to others, but what I have learned through experience is if the first message they send to you is just to set a date and time for an interview and that's it. You will not be treated well there.
