Interview Tip: Bring Your Cell Phone and Contact Info!
For this week’s topic, let’s talk about cell phone use, contact information for a potential employer, and what to take along when heading to a job interview.
When you go to a job interview, always take along:
✅ Your cell phone
✅ The employer’s contact information (name, phone number, and email if possible)
You never know when something unexpected might happen!
Common examples include:
Car mechanical problems
Traffic jams or accidents
The company recently moved, and you accidentally drive to their old address because Google Maps hasn’t updated yet
If one of these situations happens, don’t panic — when you can safely do so, use your cell phone to call or message the employer and explain what’s going on.
Even if you’re running late, communicating shows professionalism and respect for their time.
In many cases, a quick phone call can save your opportunity and turn a stressful situation into a positive impression.
