Good luck! Hope you get the job (if you want it after the interview, that isn't always the case ...)

Not too sure... working in area which is a little outside my comfort zone (using RF to find cancers!)

So, it's true that CNN really is full of w@nk@rs ...

I usually have greedy agents who want to earn some money, not those who I would like to marry*.

In my experience of agents I am not so sure.

Agents don't like Money? are you sure?
|
|

|

No, but I never understood why some of them did not try harder.

A thing I have noticed, firms I have worked for don't like them and treat them as a pain. Treat canditiates like subhuman, what goes around comes around.

Given the fact that you never received the interview link, I would wager you don't want that job anyway.

Ah, the "agent" ... one "agent" stapled the first page of my resume to the front of someone else's and submitted that. I know because I was in the interview while they looked at "the" resume. The background questioning started "weirdly" ... "I never worked on xxx!?"
Didn't get that job (wonder why), though I did land there a few times under contract. Life.

Same thing happened to me, "ah you worked on X, I see", "No, I want to work X systems"

Teams interview? As in, install teams on a device that I own? Blasphemy!
|
|
|
|
|
Teams or (HELP!) Zoom, thats whats secure(?)
|
|
|
|

How about an actual phone call? My number is on my resume' and doesn't require either of us to install anything. If they insist on seeing my face I'd grill them on why, and see it as a warning of micro-management.

Oh but that would violate GDPR (or some other rule), the 'agents' format the CV to meet company standard which mean, email, phone, postal address all come off meaning the company can't contact you without them. As above at times the 'agent' (for want of a better more offensice name) rewrote my CV to fit the job, giving mr 15 years experince in a field that was at most 2 years old. In the post-pandemic where 'all roles are remote' you will be lucky to be able to see them face to face.

Well if they can't contact you by email they can't really arrange a teams meeting either. In this case they obviously had some contact (presumably email) in order to agree to a time the teams meeting should happen, even though the email with the link never showed up.
Seriously though, applying for a job constitutes permission to be contacted regarding that application, equally regardless of the method of contact (within reason). If they somehow loose your phone number then they can ask for it via email the same way they asked OP to install teams.
My present job I got (with no agency involved) in the middle of the pandemic, and all my interviews were exclusively over the phone. The only time I did a video call was during onboarding where HR wanted to match my drivers license photo to my face.
My previous job (pre pandemic) only had one in-person interview. To this day I have no idea if they messed with my resume. The phone interviews in that process involved me and the potential employer both calling into the agency switchboard with a meeting code that was delivered by email. On the contrary, using phone instead of teams lets the agency invoke greater control, wherease if you use teams, you could record each others' teams ids and then go around the agency.
I stand by not supporting a video call, unless maybe I was desperate.

Is that everyone has their own.
But why the elephanting fark does the ISO commitee sell their standards split in a dozen parts at outrageous prices each? Gonna make my own standard with blackjack and high level escorts.

It's probably not a good idea to split up high level escorts - I think they call that murder ...

But it would make sharing fair more easy... "Here's your leg by the way"

That tells me far more about your private life than I wanted to know ...
