I’ve always been told to get to interviews about 15 minutes early. I did that today, but the hiring manager seemed annoyed because he was stuck in a meeting until the last second. It made the whole start feel really awkward. I don’t want to be late for interviews, but I don't want to bug them either. Am I still supposed to show up early, or should I just wait in my car or something until it’s actually time?

That's bizarre. Why does he care that you were sitting outside waiting for the meeting to end? It shouldn't matter at all. Forget about him and keep showing up early. I guarantee most hiring managers would be far more annoyed by you showing up late.

I honestly wouldn’t take that personally. They probably had a lot going on and just seemed annoyed. I would keep showing up 15 minutes early to interviews.

15 minutes early seems early. A few minutes early is fine. On time is 5 minutes late.

funny

I’ve always heard that if you aren’t 15 minutes early, you’re late.
