    You stated that "many people can't make an interview at short notice", that was not just referring to the OP, was it? :p

    Again, why should the employer make an exception for the OP, when they have countless other candidates to choose from?
    The Jobcentre is incompetent & isn't doing a good job for the department store.

    Again, useful for department to to know this.

    why wouldn't the employer want to make an exception if they could!

    Because perhaps they have time limits to stick to? I would think that 1 interviewee unable to attend means very little in the grand scheme of things.

    Maybe, maybe not.

    I wouldn't think a new department store was restricted to one day.
    I would hope they had planned their recruitment process to advertise their vacancies & get good candidates.

    If you have the attitude that individuals don't really matter, then you're making a big mistake.
