I think it might be reasonable to ask if the company's communications are always this bad. The responses will be telling. On the other tentacle, I went into a large company many years ago, through a recruiter. I had, I believe, a half hour with each person who was to interview me. Because no-one had been given my resume beforehand, and n-one had asked for it beforehand, I spent a large portion of each interview twiddling my thumbs while each interviewer scanned my resume. This did not create a good first impression for me! I ended up taking the job, and subsequent communications were better. Moral of the story: either have your resume on line (as I did at the time) or bring spare copies to your interviews. -- The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. -- U.S. Const.
