A WHILE ago...like probably four months ago, I sent a resume out for a reporter job. I never heard back, but now there is an opening...and I received an email asking if I would like to schedule an interview.
However, I don't really remember the details of this job. I'd like to know what the time requirements are and such, because I don't want to waste this guy's time if I'm not able to hold the position--my schedule has changed since I applied.
Is it inappropriate or does it 'look bad' to ask that?
ETA: I didn't really phrase the beginning of this correctly...I'm almost positive there wasn't a job posted. I just sent out a resume to see if there was a job.

I don't think there was even a job posted, come to think of it. I just sent my resume.

I don't think it looks bad. When you call, ask something for some clarifications about the job specs before you schedule an interview. They would probably appreciate your not wanting to waste their time.

It cant hurt to go on the interview then... im sure they will give you at least some specifics at that point... at least it will get your name out there

IMHO (as an HR person) I think it would look better if you scheduled the interview and went in to talk to the person face to face. This way even if this job isn't the right one for you they have met you, they know you are interested in a certain area/field and they can keep you in mind. While recruiting I have met people that weren't a fit or weren't interested in a particular position but I was able to bring them back when something else opened up all based on that initial interview and the good first impression they made.

I don't think it looks bad but I think I would just go on the interview and find out then! If you get called back for a second interview and you aren't interested you can always turn them down...
