Fewthings are more likely to prevent you from getting the job than arriving late for yourinterview. To arrive early:Make sure you know exactly where you are going. An address isn’t enough.Leave time for finding parking, an office, stairs or the elevator.Allow for traffic. If you are not familiar with the route, do a dry run atroughly the same time of the day as your interview is scheduled.Leave time for possible delays like construction or a traffic accident.Don’t arrive too early. Arriving late makes you look disorganized.Arriving too early, that is, more than 15 minutes early, makes you lookdesperate. Park your car or get off the bus and go for a short walk to steadyyour nerves. If you’re really early have a cup of coffee, but don’t forget thebreath mints afterwards!43
