And if each interview involves an hour's time for the two people running the editorial department, they won't want to schedule six a day.
I also suspect that "by the end of next week" is like "your table will be ready in 30 minutes:" it gives them leeway, and people would rather hear early than late. If they call me this Friday, it'll be fine; if they promised Friday and couldn't decide until Tuesday, I'd either fidget or be annoyed.
Okay, I'll fidget some anyway. Nothing to be done about that.
By the way, how long do these things usually take in the UK?
I don't know how many people they're interviewing
