I really need some advice...

I am looking for a new job. About a week ago, I went to take an assessment for a company. I thought that I did a pretty good job on it. The only area I really thought I struggled with was the section on Microsoft Office. I've used it for years, but most of what I know is stuff that I've picked up on my own, so I don't know how to do everything in it.

Anyway, after I finished, I went back to the HR office and the girl in charge of our test told me that I had passed it and scheduled an interview for me for this coming Monday (the 16th). Everything was fine until I got a letter in the mail yesterday informing me that I really did not pass the assessment and thanking me for my time.

My question is, do I call the company to see if I still need to come in to the interview on Monday, or should I see the letter as a cancellation on their part of said interview? I'm leaning towards not calling, but that's just b/c I'm embarrassed and angry at myself for not passing it. I figured I needed some perspective, which you DISers are so good at giving.

Any thoughts?

I would call, at least. It sounds like there was at least the chance of a mix-up, since they told you two different things. You'd hate for them to wait and wait there for you and you not show up.

I understand that you're a little embarrassed, but just call to make sure. If they confirm that the interview's off, you'll never have to see them again.

And, good luck on your job search. Something will come your way!

I agree, and good luck.

Thanks for the responses. Calling them does seem to be the general consensus with my support network at home, too. Guess that's what I'll do. Thanks, again.
