Job Interview Questions: How early should I show up for a job interview?

I have my first ever job interview, how early should I show up, 10 minutes?
Also, I can get quite nervous. How do I show confidence during the interview?

The Top Ten Mistakes Made in Job Interviews and How to Avoid Them



Recommended Answer:
10 minutes at most. Too early might cause your potential employer to have to deal with you before they are ready, leading to some initial frustration.

Be yourself. It is important for both you and your employer to recognize a good match or not. By being yourself, your potential employer will hopefully see who you are. This is a combination your skills, your personality, and your character. With this approach, if you don't get the job it is probably for the best. Likewise, if you get the job you are then likely the best match. Nervous is Ok.

Job Interview Basics


  • Aim to be there 10 minutes early.

    If there is a chance you will get held up on the way, leave extra time and if you get there more than 10 minutes early wait outside until 10 mins before interviw time.

    To build up your confidence, try telling yourself this is just a practice interview,

    Some people suggest you imagine the interwiewer is naked, but that usually just makes you look pervy and odd.
