Ready Time
You know what you need to do. Ready Time helps you know when to start.
Interview nerves are hard enough without adding "am I going to be late?" on top. A backward plan takes the logistics off your plate. You know when to start reviewing notes, when to get ready, and when to leave. What's left is the interview itself.
The receptionist logs you in at 10 minutes. Getting to that desk can mean a garage that might be full, a badge line, an office park that doesn't number its buildings, and an elevator that stops on every floor. Most people plan the walk-in time and skip the other one. Be at the building 20 to 30 minutes early, and a wrong address or a shirt that needs another look stops being a crisis.
Walk in 10 to 15 minutes before your interview time. That's enough to check in, find the restroom, and sit down without rushing, and late enough that nobody feels they have to entertain you. Get to the building 20 to 30 minutes early and wait in the car or a coffee shop nearby until the 10-minute mark.
Past 15 minutes, yes. Your interviewer is usually in something else until your slot starts, so an early arrival makes someone decide whether to leave you sitting in the lobby or go interrupt them. Neither one is the first impression you wanted. Being early is still right. It just belongs outside the building.
Join two or three minutes early. Earlier than that and you're sitting in a waiting room or an empty call with nothing to do. The prep happens before that: test the camera and mic 15 minutes out, quit anything that shows notifications, and keep your notes on paper or a second screen. If the audio check fails, restarting and rejoining takes longer than you'd guess.
Work backward from when you want to be at the building, 20 to 30 minutes before the interview, rather than from the interview time itself. Then subtract the drive, parking, and the walk from wherever you actually park. Check the route the night before, and pad it for the traffic that shows up on the day you need it least.
Set the interview time as your deadline. Work backward: arrive 15 minutes early, travel time, getting dressed, reviewing notes and practicing answers. Ready Time notifies you as each step comes due, starting with "review notes." You don't have to figure out what's next or how far behind you are.
Get a nudge at the right moment, while there's still time to act.
Each step gets its own alert, so you know what's next and how long you have.
