| I had a phone interview last week for a postion with a non-profit. The interview went well and I was offered a second interview (in-person) and I accepted. I've been doing more extensive research on the organization and the postion, and while I still am interested, I'm not sure if this is the route I want to take at this time. So my question is, should I cancel the interview (on Wednesday)? I really don't want to waste their time, but I also don't want to come off as rude or flakey. What would you do in this situation? |
| You're still interested! though? Go. |
| Unless I know that I am absolutely not going to accept a position with that company, I don't consider it was wasting time. You're interviewing them, too. |
| Interviews are for you to learn about them as much as for them to learn about you. You might learn about a project that is of interest or unexpected great benefits. Get the info and then decide. |
| Go. Every interview is a learning opportunity and practice for the next one. |

Always go. I am interviewing at three companies. It's been extensive and exhaustive. I just turned down what will likely be the highest offer after I found out a lot of inside information that made me rethink the position. Conversely the job that originally I had ranked 3rd (mainly due to the commute), seems to have the most to offer in the long run. 4th, and I hope final, interview for that job tomorrow.
Your perception can and will change with each interview. |
