At one point in time or another, we have all had those days where nothing seems to go right, and you know you're going to be a bit late for work. Whether it was a rough morning with the kids at home, a snowstorm or a traffic accident keeping you behind, being accountable and communicating your tardiness promptly is key. Let your interviewer know that you will reach out to your supervisor to let them know that you will be a few minutes late. Be sure to discuss what type of communication your interviewer prefers, whether that be text, phone call, or message with a co-worker. Also, don't hesitate to ask your interviewer how they like employees to contact them if they will be late or out sick.
