I (30m) got a message on Indeed today to make an interview appointment, but when I tried to call the number to do so it gave the horrendous beep and automated message that indicates a disconnected number. I was not willing to let this interview slip by me as I’ve been out of work for 2 months and desperately need a job. I called the business directly from the number on their website and got through very quickly and easily to the person who reached out to me and scheduled the interview without a hitch. As the call was ending I let them know the number in the message they had sent me was incorrect, and the steps I took to get in touch with them. They were apologetic and I said no worries, but now I’m thinking about this hours later and I might have whiffed a huge chance to be one of very few return calls for this job interview. I don’t have the best work history and it would have been a major help if somehow I was the only person to apply. Should I have let it go and not told them their number was wrong in their message?

Tldr; might have had an opportunity to be the only applicant who responded for an interview, didn’t realise this until after I told the interviewer they put the wrong number in their message to applicants.
