Given how hard it is to get an interview, it's important to get all the details right. If you don't, and you miss the interview, you may not get a second chance.
Confirm All the Interview Details
Confirm, with the person scheduling the interview, the street address, the floor, and/or the suite, if it's in a large office building. Also confirm which department you are interviewing with and who are going to meet.
Map the Directions
When you're interviewing in a location you're not familiar with make sure you map your directions. Mapquest and Google Maps are excellent resources for getting directions and for mapping the location where you need to go.
Options are available for driving, walking, and mass transit directions. Check out which works best for getting to the interview on a timely manner. Check out parking options, as well, so you don't get tied up seeking a parking spot.
If you're not positive where the interview will be held, do a trial run and visit your interview location ahead of time so you know exactly where you're going. That way, you'll be sure not to be late for your interview.
Plan on Extra Time
Finally, give yourself extra time to get there - even if you know where you're going. That way you'll have a cushion of time, just in case there are any glitches along the way.
The extra time will give you a few minutes to freshen up and to be sure you're prepared, and will help prevent the stress of rushing to get to an interview on time.
