[QUOTE=NightIP;1269329]Sorry, the former is correct. I simply couldn't, barring a personal emergency, get the time off. To lie about that would put my current job at risk, so I called Atlas and regrettably told them that I couldn't make the next interview date. They told me that they didn't have any more interviews planned for the remainder of the year (which could change, of course), but that I should call back every month or two to check up on it. I have a sinking feeling that I just missed the boat here.[/QUOTE]

Doubtful. They understand and respect that people have jobs and can't always get free for the interview. Happened with two that I recommended and they were very understanding, told them to keep in touch and let them know when they could make it.

Bottom line. Drop a polite follow up, restating the situation, thanking them and promising to keep in touch. I suspect you'll be OK.

The lack of interviews for the rest of the year has more to do with 4th Quarter ops and not wanting to have a bunch of folks in school over the holidays.

Good luck.
