I have applied for three Royal bank of Scotland jobs, filled in the basic online application form and a questionnaire. A few minutes later I get an email saying I have been successful and I must ring them soon as possible for a telephone interview lasting 20-30 minutes.

"The next stage of your application will involve a telephone interview. This will take between 20 - 30 minutes, so please ensure you have this time available and you call from a suitable location (i.e. quiet, with no distractions).

Applications are progressed on a first come, first served basis therefore prompt action is advisable to avoid disappointment. "

I need to ring them asap basically but I can't do it today because I do not feel prepared at all. I find this very strange, I mean, aren't employers supposed to ring their applicants first? Just a bit confused about this.

Yeah, I rang them the other day as I thought I had to book a telephone interview, but she wanted to do it there and then. I declined because I didn't feel prepared at all. Not sure whether bother to ring them back now and prepare for this?
