I was contacted by a recruiter to set up a phone interview time. It was set for the next day (Tuesday). I received a confirmation email from the recruiter noting the time of the interview and the name of the person who would be interviewing me. On Tuesday I received the phone call from the interviewer. About 5 minutes into my phone call, I received another phone call (of course I did not answer it). After the interview I check my voicemail and it was a message from another interviewer at Amazon stating that they were calling me for the interview. I then received an email from the recruiter asking me if I was still interested in the job as I was not available for the scheduled interview. Confused, I returned the message of the gal who left me a voicemail message and figured out that lines got crossed and I was supposed to interview with her, not the first gal I talked to. I emailed the recruiter and let her know that the person who contacted me was the person she had stated in the email. The recruiter apologized for their scheduling confusion. She said that the other gal I didn't talk to wanted to interview me. I agreed, of course. The phone interview was scheduled for the next day. It was a little more intense, but worked out great. Through the interview process we both came to understand that the job wouldn't be a good fit. I am more than qualified, but I can't turn over 60 hours a week to Amazon right now. I am involved in the community, my family and my network of friends. The overtime is expected on a pretty frequent basis. I am fine with overtime, but if it's frequent then a department re-org needs to be done and compensation should also be given. Otherwise, you work the soul out of a person.
