Today, my alarm clock, which was set to play a certain radio station didn't go off. Turns out, yesterday was their 10th anniversary and also the end of their station. I didn't wake up to the white noise until 9. The interview I had spent 3 months preparing for was at 7. FML

Hey! I usually wake up quite early, but I ended up staying up till 11 since I got really nervous. It was my dream job and I messed it up pretty badly. Luckily, they contacted me a week later to reschedule after I embarrassingly told them the honest truth.

A back up alarm is always best.

I agree with #1 and #3 - something that important warrants a radio, a clock, a watch, and a phone call from your mum at 6am sharp! Did your prospective employer let you have another interview, OP?

Who sets an interview at 7? I smell an attention seeker.

take it as a life lesson when you need to get something important done you need to have the plan and The Back-up Plan and the backup to the backup plan I generally have two alarms from two different sources

yeah using a radio as the alarm is not a good idea. It is too easy for the dial to get bumped just enough to knock it off the station. Much better to have wake you with a normal alarm then turn the radio on once you hit it.

And that's why I have three alarms
