I interviewed with a place this morning. It went well and i was asked back for a second interview this afternoon. On the way to the 2nd interview, there was an accident holding up traffic. I thought i knew a short cut but got lost... i was a few minutes late, less than 10 minutes.
I arrived ready to explain what happened, but the manager (whom i had not met before) came over and was very condescending, asking, "When were you supposed to be here?" then acting as if she didn't believe my excuse. She then asked if i would come in on Thursday instead, saying, "At 2:30? Are you sure you can be here on time?" again in a really condescending tone.
I know it's important to not be late to an interview, but i had a plausible reason. I didn't call because i didn't have my cell and finding a phone would've taken longer... it was all a big mess, but i found her behavior to be unprofessional. Should i take this as a sign that i shouldn't work there? Or just get over it and try again Thursday?
