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

At least you showed dedication or so he thought I hope.

Well, if you get the job you are going to have to drive those two hours to work every day...

Not all interviews are held where the actual job is FYI once my sister had to go 2 hours by train to a job interview for a job in our local high street 5 minutes away from the house. She got it though!

I think the interviewer was just trying to see how much your sister wanted the job.

Shouldn't that be one of the main things to remember when going for any interview? That was pretty forgetful

Are you the same person who forgot that your coworker was following you for lunch?

They should at least give you credit for trying ☺️

You sure do know how to make a first impression, OP.

I would have pulled out my cell phone at that point, smiled, looked the interviewer in the eye and called him and said you were good to go NEVER let them see you sweat!!
