The guy is getting roasted in the comments too, especially about being unfair to NDs

    Not everyone keeps the same “office hours”. In fact, I’ll bet that what you call “office hours” is when I’m busy with my current job and thus cannot pick up. You don’t know my schedule, you can’t just make assumptions and then get upset when it turns out I may have other engagements. You might even be calling at a time when I already had something else explicitly scheduled!

    It is called voice mail. You are expected to leave one.

      These were intern applications.

      I agree that he should have left a message or send a quick email after he didn’t reach them on the phone. I strongly disagree that phone call should have been “scheduled”.

        Scheduling is how you can be certain that the person will be available at the scheduled time. If you don’t schedule, then you don’t know if they will be available, and so you have no grounds to get mad at them for not being available.

        Every phone interview I’ve had was scheduled.

          Phone call is the quickest and the most straightforward mean of communication. Assertion that these have to be “scheduled” is ridiculous.
