Number One Job Interview Rule

Follow this number one job interview rule because if you don't, whatever else you do right won't be worth as much.

Follow This Universal Law!

This may seem obvious, but it happens way too often.  No matter what the reason might be, there is no excuse for it!  

What am I talking about?  Being late to a job interview, of course!  It just shouldn't be done (besides an injury or family emergency and then good for you if you show up). 

Getting lost, bad traffic, or losing track of time doesn't matter to an interviewer.  They are taking time away from their primary duties to sit down with you to try and give you a job.  It is rude and disrespectful to not show up on time.

This is number one job interview etiquette!

Don't Be Late To Your Interview!


Here are a few easy tips to follow that I put together to help you keep from breaking this Number One Job Interview Rule:
  • Do a dry run.  If you are going to a city or a part of the city you are not familiar with drive there a few days before.  Ideally you will do it during a week day at a
    similar time to your interview time to gauge the amount of time it takes to get there.
  • Leave early.  Not just 15 minutes early, you can plan to arrive 30-60 minutes  before your interview time.  Don't go into the building though.  Get into the area, find a coffee shop and relax while reading the paper or reviewing your resume.  Not only will this ensure that you are on time it also gives you time to relax and calm yourself before walking into the building.
  • Pay for parking.  Don't circle the block 12 times looking for cheap parking on the street.  Pay the money to park in a parking garage.  You do not want to waste valuable time looking for parking and start to stress yourself at the same time.


If you are running late (even though you shouldn't be), make sure you call.  The interviewer may not have time to complete the interview if you are running late and you will save both of you the time if you let them know.  You can try and schedule another appointment right away if necessary.  And if you're able to get a second chance, follow the tips above to arrive not only on time, but early.
