Today, I went to a job interview. It would have been fine if I had remembered it was over the phone, and not in person. I drove two hours. FML

Ok guys, figured I'd give a quick update. Thanks to all of you who realized it was a mistake anyone could make! Lately I've been looking for a job, so I have a lot of interviews to keep straight. I had this interview, and another one tomorrow and they are both in the same town, I thought the interview tomorrow was the phone interview, and the one today was in person. Unfortunately I made a mistake, but I've learned to definitely keep my things more organized. The interviewer also completely understood and let me do it in person anyways. Hopefully you all learn from my mistake

You shouldn't talk on the phone while driving. Why didn't you just pull over?

Did they call you and conduct it over the phone while you sat there?

Maybe you should have written down where it was at? Then you could have saved yourself a lot of time.

That's a lot more understandable then if they were in the same city and around the same time. In the future, always double check the details of any sort of meeting right before you leave to avoid this sort of thing. It's a good practice to get into to make sure you're always prepared for the time, place, and whatever you need to bring along. But I'm glad that you at least got to do the interview!

Great to hear it worked out. I'd have clicked YDI, but I can definitely understand being worked up enough about an interview that you'd forget something obvious.
