Showing Up 6 Minutes Late for Job Interview [closed]

Today I had an interview for a junior developer role.

When I entered the address location into Google maps I did not realize I made a mistake and accidentally inputted the building address as "680" instead of "608". It took me to a building that was 3 blocks away from the actual building.

About 3 minutes before the interview was supposed to start I called my interviewer and explained to him my situation, where I was, and I personally apologized for the confusion, he told me I was about 3 blocks away and I quickly got in my car drove down 3 blocks and got to the correct building.

To make matters worse, when I got to the correct building and the floor the office was on, I did not realize that their office was under a different name than the name they had on their website and in their correspondences with me. I called the receptionist and she told me that the office was under a different name and I found it.

When I met my interviewer in person I did at first explain that my confusion came from Google maps but I again apologized for my mistake.

All in all I was about 6 minutes late for the interview, which I personally think went fairly well. Will my interviewer hold this against me?

Will my interviewer hold this against me?

We can't possibly know if the interviewer will take this as something negative and affect your interview.

For the next time, I suggest you try to be about 15-30 minutes earlier, so you have contingency time to handle this sort of situations.

However, I think that 6 minutes late is hardly a really negative thing in this situation, as you were in constant communication with the interviewer and receptionist; they were aware of the minor mishap you made as well as the clarification on their ambiguous indications.

I would also suggest you try to keep your options open and continue your job hunt with other prospects you have, just in case this were considered an offense by the interviewer.
