Example: The interviewer is new being the interviewer and is not sure if it is appropriate to divulge anything related to company hangups to someone who is not yet part of the company. In fact in some situations it is not appropriate. Another reason is the interviewer thinks its not really important as you (the interviewee) needs to be the one on time and not him. This is not a good sign but happens. There are more examples but I am out of characters. | |
| Jun 23, 2017 at 13:44 | comment | added | FreeMan | I agree with your 3 options. However, I'd think that most people would explain the situation if it were #1. "Sorry I'm late, we're swamped with work which is why we're hiring a couple of people." "Sorry I'm late, a system blew up this morning and we're in crisis mode right now trying to fix it." Something... That leads me to lean towards options 2 or 3... | |
