As a job seeker, what should I do if I am late for the interview?

You'd better not be late for the interview.

Imagine if a person is late for an interview, how can he go to work on time and how can he not be late for meeting customers? The interviewer will naturally have such associations and guesses and make judgments that are not conducive to you.

So you should check the route in advance and plan the time before the interview.

If it coincides with the departure time, you should act as early as possible and try to take the subway and other means of transportation so as not to be delayed by traffic jams.

You know, in many people's minds, there is no reason to be late.

You were late because of the traffic jam, but you could have come out earlier. It rained late. Can't you watch the weather forecast?

Of course, this is all for a rainy day, but if being late is a fait accompli and what is done is done, how can we make up for it?

If you have foreseen or can judge that you may be late on the bus, estimate how long you will be late and contact HR in advance.

Express regret and explain the special reasons for being late.

Why talk in advance? This is a "soft landing" and can play a buffering role. It's like asking your friend to do something, and he finds that he can't do it. He said, would you like it better than asking him? He will tell you as soon as possible. Do you want to find another way?

Furthermore, be sure to apologize sincerely. Everyone likes a polite boy. Punctuality means keeping your promise. Since you haven't reached a promise, you should apologize for disrupting the other party's arrangement.

If you are late, of course, the other party will be angry, which will reduce your impression score. We haven't met yet, so losing first is a foregone conclusion. But if you tell me in advance, and you are very polite and reasonable, then some situations may be remedied.

When you arrive at the company you applied for and meet the interviewer, you should apologize again.

Maybe many young people don't understand. I think I was wrong, I admit it. Why should I say it over and over again?

No wonder many people are polite. The more you say it once, twice and three times, the more you apologize for it, and the interviewer will feel that maybe it was just an accident rather than the norm for you, so you feel guilty.

Never take it for granted that you are late because of traffic jams or late hours.

This will make the interviewer think that you are a person who likes to make excuses. This is not what I said on the Internet last time. You always judge a person by small things.

If it is already late, do the remedial action mentioned above. Don't take it as a psychological burden. I feel that this interview is over, it will be broken, and there is no good start.

The more I think about it, the more nervous I am, the more nervous I am, and the more I don't play well. Murphy's law is bound to happen.

Being late is a fait accompli, don't think too much. The point is not to struggle, but to play the second and third scenes well and reverse the interviewer's initial judgment on you.
