Exactly ! If it works and Chris gets by with it by only giving out a T-Shirt, I think we can name it a good deal.

Hi all,
Here I am sitting in the reception of a firm waiting for an interview. Following pro tips I leave time to get lost and find my way, traffic, Raptor attack etc. However of the two interviews I have had in the last week I have arrived almost an hour early. Please some tell me this doesn't make me seem a pain or over eager.

An hour is rather over-eager - I'd probably have walked around the area for fifty minutes or so and got there ten minutes early instead. Probably have grabbed something for lunch to prevent hunger in the interview itself.
Good luck though - hope it goes well!

Transport worked today oddly!

In those situations I go for a coffee nearby. I would not wait in the reception.

I was going to but there is not a thing around here. Apart from a closed pub and a primary school (I thought going into reception would stop being arrested as I wearing a trench coat!)

Yup, job's definitely yours...

Whatever you do - don't give them your CodeProject handle/id...
Seriously though, if you have 20 minutes - I'm sure there must be a pub open somewhere.

Going into a lunchtime interview smelling of pubs is probably not going to help you get the job...

When I have an hour to lose I pick up a random platform and program a new operating system.

I usually find somewhere to park up nearby and have a final read through my notes (who is interviewing me, what the company does etc) and then walk into reception with 5 - 10 minutes to go. Turning up an hour early is not good form as your interviewers have planned your interview around their own busy workloads which you have duly thrown a spanner into.

You can't once it has replies - only Admins and Protectors can do that.
Which means I can, but I don't really feel like helping you with anything at the moment ... I wonder why?

Don't take it personal mate. Just delete the old thread (if you can) and let's move on. Please see if you know the answer else thanks a lot for trying.
