Responding to an Interview Request: 2 Easy Ways / by Lewis Lin

The Impact Interview team's latest post about responding to interview requests is an absolute timesaver, especially when you don't know how to respond. Last thing you want to do is come across as overeager or difficult to work with.

I've excerpted the two sample email templates here, but you check out and read the original post in it's entirety.
