Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

There are many ways to show respect. One is simply to be one time for interviews and other meetings.

I hope to be employed by an employers by the time this post is posted. I have interviewed with many people these last six months. Some folks are courteous and respectful. Some, well, not so much.

One way to show respect is the be punctual, i.e., simply show up on time.

Sometimes that isn’t possible. Sometimes the previous engagement spills overtime into this one. Sometimes there are some times when stuff happens and all that. Then there are the rest of the times. Be on time the rest of the times.

People all have the same amount of time. Some meetings, like job interviews for unemployed persons, are important and filled with anxiety and expectation. If you don’t show up on time, you crush hopes. That is a bad thing to do to other persons.

Show some respect. Be on time. Please. We can do better.
