Oh, you're back asking weird questions again. What, got bored of being told that you shouldn't change who you are or stop talking to your friends of opposite gender because your SO wants you to?
I used to work for a recruiting firm. Unless you are an amazingly perfect fit for the position with a stellar resume and have already been vetted, the chances of getting an interview outside of the company's normal business hours is non-existent.
I prefer to do my long distance interviewes on Thursday evenings, since people can then start partying a good interview/drowning their sorrows for a shitty interview Friday. Monday, I'm getting back into the swing of things, so I would never schedule something like that for a Monday.
Also, someone demanding a certain interview at a certain time would leave a sour taste in my mouth and I probably wouldn't hire them. I'm hiring so it's my day
It was a Friday night at 11:11pm. The first night of the full moon.
First I had to burn my resume while they chanted in Latin. Then I was made to remove my clothing and molasses was smeared on my beasts and lower abdomen. Mud, blessed by druid priests, was rubbed on my inner thighs. Then I was made to sacrifice a chicken and rub the blood over my face. And finally I had to dance under the moon while my future boss hollowed.
The only time I've ever had an after-hours interview was when interviewing with a Seattle-based company while I was in Michigan. It was still business hours for them. I would never ask a potential employer to interview me after their office hours had ended or on a date/time otherwise inconvenient to them. I'm on their time, not the other way around.
As a hiring manager, I would never hire someone who came off as completely cuckoo bananas crazy pants at every encounter.
I've been working as a retail professional for about 10 years. But it's rare to have upper-managers work evenings.
I honestly don't remember when all of my interviews were. Generally Monday, Tuesday, or Fridays I think. I usually try to get an early afternoon one so that I don't have to be freaking out about it all day. My most recent position was a phone interview Wednesday at 5pm though.
I'd imagine it unlikely that anyone would want to set up any interviews for Monday evening, even retail.
Hmm. Would they do a phone interview on my lunch break?
Come the fuck on. ASK THEM. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL KNOW.
What the actual fuck?
But why, Lolo? Why would anyone pick up a telephone and ask a perfectly reasonable question, when they could ask internet strangers who know absolutely fuck all about the company in question?

I've been doing life all wrong.
Annabelle can you tell me how late my hair stylist is open and whether she could do a 7pm highlight on Wednesday?

I asked the magic 8 ball. All signs point to yes.
You're welcome.
Hey! Are avocados on sale at my grocery store? Will they be ripe enough tomorrow? HELP!
Have you like never had a job interview before? Are you at all a grown up?
When they fucking contact you to set up the goddamn interview they will give you your fucking options for a goddamn interview. Then you go to your current fucking boss and take off the time you need. Tell them you have an appointment.
Fucking shit man. How'd you even apply for this fucking job without Internet strangers holding your fucking hands?
Of course they won't interview you on the weekend. Generally employers conduct interviews during their business hours.
Why the fuck would you expect their recruiters/hiring managers to stay late or come in on a weekend to interview you? When these people see how inflexible you are about your availability to interview, that doesn't look good.
Find a way to interview at the beginning or end of the day or over your lunch hour. Request the time off of work. The end.
No the problem is you're acting like a giant idiot. Take. The day. OFF. That's what EVERYONE ELSE DOES.
How fucking self-centered are you to think someone else is going to use THEIR day off to do YOU a favor so YOU can get a new job? If anyone ever asked me to interview them on the weekend your resume would end up in the trash before I even hung up the phone.
Is the number in your user name your birth year? Have you honestly made it 31-32 years on this planet without figuring... well, ANYTHING out?
Seriously. Please tell me 1983 was a number you picked at random.
Why would someone interview you on a weekend? If someone asked me to interview them on a weekend, I'd say that wouldn't be possible and toss their resume in my NO pile.
...why does everybody put so much anger and hate into this person? It's clear they're a troll. And a pretty harmless one at that. But yes, still full of fuckery.
You just hang on until you find the non-retail employer that will give you a weekend interview on your time schedule. It's clear that none of these employers care about their future employees if they're requiring them to take time from their busy calendar to participate in a measly phone interview. I mean, you're not asking to be President of the company, are you? And even if you are, they should still grant your request. You don't want to work for a company that will respect your personal life on the weekends. No social life FTW!
Re: What day of the week was your last non retail, long distance job interview?
And why would you expect an employer to interview you at night? And by long distance do you mean over the phone?
Weird and random.

Pretty average interview.
