Are you supposed to arrive 20 minutes early to interviews?
Edit: They extended me an offer the next day
I had an interview today set for 6:00. I arrived in the parking garage at 5:40. Before I could even park my car the recruiter was calling me asking me if I had any problems finding the garage and I said no, she said great let me know if you need help making it up I said ok and we hung up.
So when I arrive places I like to get there early so I can spend a few minutes in my car getting situated before I go in. I planned to get there early so I can put my heels on and review my answers one more time. A few minutes go by and she calls again and asks me if I am having problems making it up there. By this time I am leaving my car and walking toward the entrance of the building. Once I let her know I was coming up she says okay let me know if you have any problems. While I'm on the phone with her another recruiter calls me and leaves a voicemail saying the interviewer is "literally" waiting on me. By now the time is 5:51 and I am heading to the elevators. I make it up there by 5:55. I am talking to the recruiter and some of the other team members for a few minutes before the manager comes in and takes me to her office to interview.
Once I leave I told my friend how they were blowing up my phone and he tells me it's my fault and I should have been up there 20 minutes before my interview started? Is that true? I was under the impression that the interviewer would be interviewing someone else at that time so I didn't want to come up too early. Now I am worried I wont get the job because of this.
