I had an interview today from 9-11 at a company about 50 minutes away from my house. I was planning to be out the door by 7:45 so i could stop for some coffee. I couldn’t find my purse so i was leaving 15 minutes late. Then about 4 minutes in i realize i forgot my resume and had to turn around to get it, so i would just barely make it on time. Then on the highway, my GPS told me to take the express lane, and while I was on there I missed a lane change, and ended up on the wrong highway, and it’ll take an extra 16 minutes to get there. 15 minutes late is bad, but not that bad, i could recover from that. But then when i get to the place my GPS was directing me, I realized i put in the WRONG ADDRESS! I was in the right city, but the place was a little more than 20 minutes away. I pull over at this point i am sobbing and my make up is a mess, I call my dad asking what to do, he says call them so I do. I have to dig though handshake to find the number and when so do call it’s the after hours machine. I’m crying even more at this point, I can’t get in contact with anyone, I look like a mess, and the only point of showing up at this point is to make all the other candidates look better by comparison. If i when I’d be an hour late at least. I just went home. TLDR: Everything that could go wrong, went wrong, and I didn’t even make it to my interview
