I am having trouble getting an interview with prospect. There are cancellations or difficulty understanding the time difference. I have made it very clear that I am five hours ahead yet I still get request to interview 03:30 my time.

Then when I thought it was perfect, 15:30 my time, it gets cancelled and yet again another request for 03:30 interview.

I am tired of this really. Should I just email them and wish them luck on a candidate. I just wasted an afternoon preparing!

You could try applying for more than one job, so you have a steady stream of interviews and the preparation goes a lot further.

It seems pretty daft to expect to interview you well in the middle of (your) the night, but just because the recruiter's a **** doesn't mean the school necessarily will be.

I have to agree with JustinC. I'm sure many of us have had interviews with legit employers in which we had to be coherent and upright at some ridiculous time of day. Not pleasant but it happens despite requests to get the time changed to something more reasonable.
