Today, wanting to be on time for my first job interview, I woke up at the crack of dawn and walked almost an hour through a thunderstorm. When I arrived, I was told that the manager wasn't in today, because of the bad weather. FML

there's no bus? subway? train? taxi? couldn't call first? they couldn't call you? not to mention the manager couldn't find a mode of transportation because of the rain? "wet" the heck is up with that?

And that's why you always call to confirm, especially when it's an hour walk. Lesson learned, I hope.

It's better than missing the job interview altogether.

12 has a point- This may impress your potential future employer because it shows commitment. Props to you, OP, and good luck getting that job!

Why would you walk in the rain before an interview?

Well they were going to a job interview so perhaps they didn't have money for transportation

Never work for a company where the interviewer doesn't turn up. Been there, done that. They think they are better than everyone else and will treat you like shit for as long as you work there!

Kay, you're in Canada dude, you live in every type of weather. Suck it up and go to work! I've shown up to work when there's been feet of snow! And I bus/walk too! Good job for showing initiative!

It's usually up to the interviewer to call and cancel because of bad weather. But walking an hour through rain dressed in interview clothes is stupid. Could've asked a friend or someone to drop you off or cab it.

no point in doing that because even if he's there you'd be dripping wet during the interview

He might've brought dry clothes with him.

Besides, walking through a thunderstorm might be interpreted correctly as showing dedication, a trait that the company involved apparently is in need of.

Or when you are there explain to the secretary (you know the person with the real power and gets things done) , you just walked an hour and is there anyway you could gave a phone interview right now.

But if you call to confirm, it might look like you forgot the time of the interview.

No, it will make you look prepared and conscientious.

71- You're not calling to ask for the interview time, you're calling to confirm that the interviewer will indeed be present at said predetermined time.
