Ever Been Late For An Interview?
Have you ever been late for an interview? According to Rico Moussesgeld over at Contract Worker, Being late is the perfect way to stress yourself out. I agree! I have been late for an interview and it is the worse kind of stress.
Have you ever been late for an interview? I have, and it was disasterous. Suffice it to say I did not get the job and I really wanted it.
Have you ever been late for an interview? Did you get the job? My guess is “NO”. Tardiness when applying for a job is unforgiveable. There is no grace nor should there be grace. Most managers will cancel your interview. If they give you the courtesy of an interview it is typically just that, a courtesy. Don’t sit by the phone and wait, you probably won’t get the position, no matter how well you interviewed.
Here are survey results I found at Queendom.com “The question - Have you ever been late for a job interview?”
No, I’m always early Women 40.75% Men 40.08%
No, I’m always late Women 34.47% Men 32.48%
Yes, but only once Women 17.23% Men 16.45%
Yes, more than once Women 7.54% Men 10.97%
Total Votes Women 557 Votes Men 237 Votes
Coaching Tip: Don’t be late for your next interview. 15-30 minutes is not too early!

Who would’ve thought that a few minutes difference could mean something significant? :)
