Is it to late? Returning a call from an employer

I emailed an employer about a position. I thought they hadn't replied back but I just now saw the reply in my spam folder from Friday evening (8pm) asking me to give them a call to set up a interview.

My spam folder has over 25+ things in it (I accidentally applied to a fake wanted ad and my email got spammed.) so I didn't even think to check for a reply back there. Usually I send an email and call but this employer requested emails only.

Now I'm not sure if I blew it. It looks terrible that i let 3 days go by without a call. I don't know if it's a good idea to call and give a excuse because I don't want to present myself as someone who starts with the "see what happen was..."

What should I do?Chat Icon

Re: Is it to late? Returning a call from an employer

They emailed you at 8 pm on a Friday night before a holiday weekend. I'm sure they were not around to receive a call if you had called.

Call them today and don't mention anything about the spam folder or waiting 3 days to return their email.

Definitely call them! It was labor day weekend, I think they'd be okay with it!

I would call back today. It was a holiday weekend, so I think it's perfectly acceptable to not answer until today.

If you got the email at 8pm on a Friday night of a holiday weekend, I don't think it is too late to reply at all.

8pm on a Friday seems like the last call of the night. I am sure they were closed the last 3 days and if not it was a Holiday weekend.

Today would be the day to reply.

No, I don't think it is too late. That happened to me once too. I was honest and told them what happened, and just made sure to demonstrate my enthusiasm in the email.

not too late at all. You could have been away for the weekend and just getting the message.
