Answer 1

I‘m going to talk about the time I was late for my first job interview. It happened in 2012 when I was final year student. I had always dreamed of becoming a developer, so I had joined a programing course and after that, I was ready to apply for an internship in this field

The company I applied to was a start-up in education technology. Specifically, they offered online English courses to those who wanted to brush up on their English speaking skills. They were looking for a developer, and as I was interested in both English and programing, I applied for this position.

I sent them my CV and was accepted, so we made an appointment for an interview. However, when the day came, I was late for the interview because I was lost. I couldn‘t find the way to get to that company at first, and finally managed to get to the interview but 30 minutes late. And the next thing I knew, the interviewer just told me I was rejected. because I was late for the interview without prior [‘praiə] notice.

That was a painful experience for me, and since then I‘ve tried my best not to be late for any appointments ever again.
