Stating the obvious but that's much better than being late. Plan to be there comfortably no later than 15 minutes early, don't walk in until it's close to time.

Haha one time I totally misread the time in my calendar (time zone sync disaster - this was a few years ago) and showed up an hour and fifteen minutes early. Still got the job!!

I show up the day before and see how dress, act and go for lunch. Then follow home my interviewer....

If you're not early, you're late
