"Alright, let's talk about getting to the interview on time. The first thing you need to know is, for sure, where the interview is at. What is the exact address, and you probably want to have their phone number handy as well. And, when is the interview? Is it Thursday at 10:00, is it Friday at 9:00? Very, very important information, where and when. It's a great idea to know how, well, you have to know how much time it's going to get, to take you to get to this location. But, it's a great idea to drive it ahead of time. Now, I know on-line there's all kinds of great resources to get directions to places, but I wouldn't count on that one hundred percent. It's always a great thing to do, try it out yourself the night before or a couple of days before. But, even with that, knowing after you've driven it, that it's going to take thirty five minutes, you always want to allow a little bit of extra time. Well, first of all, you want to be early. Now you don't want to be thirty minutes early, but you want to be five to ten minutes early for the interview. But you also need to allow extra time for traffic, road construction, wrecks, anything that might happen along the way. So allow yourself plenty of time. When you get there early, five to ten, fifteen minutes max, what you want to do is, you want to go in, you want to sit down, catch your breath and relax. Next, we're going to talk about all the things you want to make sure and bring with you to the interview."
