He apologized to the other interviewer for the delay (15 minutes, so uncool!) and I also got the job :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85128 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 12:05:34 +0000 lemondrop 85128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they are late they had better give us a call, otherwise they are done. I understand getting lost or getting stuck in traffic, and while that doesn't reflect great things, it is a courtesy to at least call and not leave me waiting when I could be doing other things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85119 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 11:54:15 +0000 BSB 85119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it comes to something as important as a job interview, I am never late. Everything else, I'm late for. Haha! I don't have kids and I'm usually late. I need to fix that when we have kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85096 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 11:21:51 +0000 chopsuey 85096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg. Biggest pet peeve is tardiness!!!! I'm always early! Now that I have LO, I'm not as good as I used to be, but I always give notice if I'm gonna be late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85083 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 11:06:28 +0000 mediagirl 85083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh...I think he's just a no-show. I waited an hour to see if maybe he had thought I said 11am. That's so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85052 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:33:11 +0000 Shutterbug 85052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, if you're going to be late (more than say, 5 minutes) and you don't call, you might as well just not show up - there's no way I'd give you the job! Getting lost or caught in unexpected traffic is totally understandable, but there's no excuse for not calling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85047 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:27:22 +0000 mrs. wagon 85047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never been late... been exactly on time a few times. If I thought I'd be late, I called. That's really rude to just show up late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85043 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:25:23 +0000 DillonLion 85043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been late for an interview, but the person interviewing me has left me in the waiting room for over an hour before. I thought that was kind of rude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85028 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:18:45 +0000 oliviaoblivia 85028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was late for an interview once.....kinda. I showed up 15 minutes early and the receptionist had me wait in the lobby and the forgot about me. When my interviewer came out (15 minutes after our appointment) the receptionist stepped up and said it was her fault and that I had been there on time. Thank god! I did get the job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85026 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:17:41 +0000 winniebee 85026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I was late to an interview at my current job (3.5 years ago!) I took the subway and it was freaky late that day...and was completely freaked out. I called though, as a courtesy...and did get the job ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85025 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:17:37 +0000 Andrea 85025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: oh yeah, i did call, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85023 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:15:30 +0000 mediagirl 85023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: at least you called!! I don't care if you get lost, just call me and let me know you're lost! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85020 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:14:11 +0000 Andrea 85020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was late once and it was so horrible since I am always early or on time. The subways were all screwed up and I had to take a bus and it was a nightmare. I got it anyway, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85015 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:11:41 +0000 heffalump 85015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was late for an interview once. I left super early, but I got very lost. I called them and asked for directions and said I was lost and appologized a lot. I got the job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-for-an-interview#post-85014 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:10:56 +0000 mediagirl 85014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you ever interviewed people? Have you ever had someone be late for an interview?</p> <p>I'm an early/on-time person everywhere in my life, especially if I'm heading into an interview. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who are late! If you're late for an interview, that shows so poorly on you, in my opinion. ...I'm currently waiting for my 10am interviewee to show up. Tick...tick...tick... </p>
