    Answer to #8

    Question: It’s best to arrive how early before an interview?

    1. 1 hour
    2. 30 minutes
    3. 10 minutes
    4. 1 minute

    Answer: The answer is C. If you said an hour, you must be one of those people that arrive at airports hours before your plane is scheduled to take-off. And if you said one minute, you must be one of those "last minute" kind of people. These two answers are extremes, but they happen all the time.

    You should plan on arriving about 10 minutes before the start of the interview. This amount of time gives you a little slack for unexpected events (such as the elevators not working) and time to complete an employment application or other paperwork before the interview.

    Before we leave this subject, one more tip: plan ahead! Make sure you know the exact location of the interview -- and even take a practice run if you’re not sure about it. We know one job candidate who was going to her most important interview -- the job and company of her dreams -- but the night before the interview she realized she wasn’t really sure where the office was located and instead of doing something about it, she just "winged it" the next day and showed up about 30 minutes late and did not even get an interview, let alone the job.
