If you know right now that you would never work for this organization, decline.

Just a quick email that says, “Thanks so much for the invitation; my situation has changed, and I’m no longer a candidate for this role” will do the trick.

Here’s to you!

A. If you could use interview practice or you want to learn more about the organization in case they might have a more suitable position for you (either now or later) go to the interview.

There’s no downside except the time investment.

Same!

She wrote back, please call me anyway.

Liz I am here to do my job, not help my boss’s wife with her side projects.

What should I do?

Thanks,

Anjali

FOLKS, what would you do in this situation?

I thought that was it, but this week, she wrote to me, and said, call me, I need your help again.

I wrote back and said, I wish I could help, I am slammed at work and anyway we’ve reached the limit to my social media knowledge.

I thought that really pushed a boundary.

Free consulting from me to her, on company time. I had not taken notes. I tried to remember the conversation. I sent her a short email with three bullet points.

She is a real talker. It took me three tries to finally get her off the phone. It was very awkward.

As we finished the call, she asked me to write down everything I told her and send it to her in an email message.
