Interviewing

Arrive 15-20 minutes before your scheduled interview time. If your interview is scheduled for 11:00 am, don't show up at 10:58 am. You may think-10:58 am is still "on time." However, the interviewer is thinking-"will this candidate cut it this close if I hire him?" Will he be a "last minute employee?" You also don't want to be too early-(example, an hour early), because they will not know what to do with you. Arriving 15-20 minutes early allows you to catch your breath/visit the restroom/engage the receptionist in a friendly conversation.
