So I'm not going to mince words and I'll post the messages verbatim because I want to see what people think. But basically, I had a hiring person email me asking when I was free. Then, after telling her that, with the exception of tomorrow, I'd be free any Monday, Wednesday, Friday after 2 PM and she immediately replied back asking if tomorrow at 1 PM would work. So… here's how that exchange went.
HM: [typical intro with names and the company so I wont include it]… I'm impressed with your experience and would like to set up a 30-minute phone interview to learn more about you and answer any questions you may have. Can you share a few dates and times that work best for you? Thank you!
Me: That sounds great. With the exception of this Wednesday, I have most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays free after 2PM. Let me know if that lines up with anything on your schedule.
HM: Thank you for letting me know, to clarify, are you available tomorrow for a call? I can reach out to you around 1:00pm if you are available.
… so what do you guys think? Power play or was I just not clear enough?
