Jeff Altman, Big Game Hunter
No matter how hard you try, sometimes it is inevitable to be late for an interview. Sometimes lateness in interviews can be avoided. No matter how it happens, being late should not be ignored in the interview.
This week, the person I represent is a day flying from Chicago to Atlanta. The interviewer gave up a day of working from home and would usually fly home by 2:30 pm and have dinner with his family a week after the trip.
The weather caused flight delays, my candidate’s flight was delayed, and his door changed him. So he missed his flight to Atlanta.
He immediately rebooked his first flight the next day and sent me an email and brought him a new itinerary. It was my time before midnight and I didn’t receive it until the next morning.
I thought they would contact the client immediately after receiving the message. They told me that based on this schedule, he might miss meeting anyone.
Meanwhile, he was able to fly on his last flight and arrive about an hour after the meeting started and was able to stay calm instead of reaching panic.
This is a key factor for customers because sometimes delays occur and they look for someone who can stay calm under adverse conditions.
He apologized to them and continued to be interviewed.
Sometimes, traffic or trains can cause delays. If possible, call your phone quickly so your interviewer knows your potential to be late. This allows them to transfer other tasks to the newly created free time they will do later.
Once you arrive, give yourself a minute to focus on the meeting, not the late time, admit to being late when shaking hands with the interviewer (and everyone thereafter), apologize if they are late, and if their schedules drop, explain late (explaining a late accident (an accident on I-84) (an accident on I-84; you had 30 minutes there, but in 30 minutes it was not delayed in time. Then, mom or dad left), and then go to work, create a fabulous impression and win the interview!
