Due to a personal emergency I contacted the person I scheduled the interview with 2 days beforehand. Not very professional on my part, but I could not get out of going out of town on short notice for a family accident. I followed up with the recruiter since I had not heard back from the person I was scheduled to interview with. Once the recruiter got back, I was informed I could no longer be considered due to cancelling the interview the day of, which I did not do. Needless to say I'm glad it didn't work out because it doesn't appear to be a compassionate, empathic environment from my experience...
