I wanted to vent and get an outside opinion because I feel frustrated. I had applied for an internship that counts as credits towards my degree at my University. The internship facilitator reached out to me to schedule a pre-screening and had asked me to pick a day and time that worked for me. I picked a time and he responded and asked me if I wanted to meet over zoom, Microsoft teams, or over the phone. I let him know that I wanted to talk over the phone and provided my phone number. The day came around and he never called me so I immediately emailed him but got no response. I assumed he might have got busy since it was Thanksgiving week and decided to give him time. I reached out to him again two days later and he still did not respond to me. I decided to wait until Monday and finally gave the company a call to transfer me to speak with him because we only talked through email and he never provided me a phone number to contact him. I left him a voicemail stating that I have not heard back from him and was wondering if I was still in consideration for the internship. He emailed me back stating that “I received a voicemail from you” and how he was confused on why I was claiming he did not respond to me when I was the one who “no-showed”. He said that I never responded to his email about how I wanted to be contacted and told me that I was no longer in consideration because of this and that I could re-apply for spring quarter. I forwarded him the email thread to show him that I had responded in hopes that would make him reconsider but I feel devastated. I don’t want to force anyone to accept me but I find it unfair that I am no longer in consideration because I “no-showed”. It appears on his end that I never responded to him (according to the email thread he forwarded to me) but I did respond to him (according to the email thread I sent him). I believe my responses ended up in his spam folder but who knows. I included the email he sent me and my response to the email.
