Oh, yeah. It goes both ways. There's not much excuse for the interviewer being late, assuming that there's someone else in the company who could stand in if he/she is tied up with a client or some other top-priority thing.

And to my credit I haven't shown up late to apply for a job since 1979.
Of course I haven't applied for one since then.

If your in I.T. don't BS on your resume. It just wastes everyones time. There will be questions about the skill set and field that you are applying for. You will not be able to BS your way past the interview. And why bother? You will be expected to perform the job if hired.

The good thing about life is that if you don't get a job there is always the United Way or other places that will help you at-least put food on the table and get you medicine if you need it. That way you can spend more time playing video games or whatever you want to do if working isn't for you.

Maybe they stopped to pull someone out of a burning car, but even then it shouldn't take that long. Did they smell like burnt rubber?

He didn't swear the entire interview. He was just recalling stories and experiences of when he was an umpire for softball and he had to deal with upset "customers". Dude just came out of nowhere with **** this and **** that. |

Well-well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people? |

I've interviewed well over 200 people in my lifetime and I always have a simple checklist to start;
1. Be on time or even better, 15 minutes early. Unless you are in a car wreck or had a heart attack I probably won't hire you. 2. Don't have on a ton of cologne or perfume or worse yet, smell like you just played 5 hours of tennis. 3. You better not have monkey breath! 4. Your shoes better be shined and for women you better not have open toed shoes or flats like those ballerina slippers. 5. I don't want to see your bra straps hanging out or your sports jacket hugging you like a sausage casing. 6. I expect you to know a few basic facts about our company and if you find any obscure info about me or our company you get big points for that. 7. If you sit back and cross your legs like you are in a restaurant or lounge relaxing, negative points. I like people who are on the edge of their seat and make great eye contact. 8. Don't ask me stupid questions like "What are your long term goals?" Worse interview question ever and employers always give a bullshit pie-in-the-sky answer that amounts to nothing more than a guess. 9. Ask me a pointed tough question to put me on the defensive like, "How do you plan on growing your business greater than your top competitor ___________?" 10. Don't ask me about how many vacation days you get 10 minutes into the interview. Those are just the first 10 that come to mind......
