How early should you show up for a job interview?

Be punctual, but not too early. Arriving 15 to 20 minutes before your scheduled interview is acceptable. Any more than that, and you may be sending the wrong message. Plus if you arrive too early, the staff may feel like they need to entertain you or continue offering you coffee, etc.

As a guideline, it’s best to follow up with an email or phone call within at least two business days of the date the interview took place. Be personal.
