All of us, at some time or another, are late for an appointment. It may be because of transport problems or some other incident which feels like it is outside of your control. If you are late for an interview it is always advisable to ring ahead to make sure the interviewers know that you are on your way. It will also give you an opportunity to find out whether it will still be possible to attend the interview. If you are very late it may mean, at best, that your interview may need to be rescheduled. At worst, that you have missed your chance.

If you are lucky enough to still attend the interview despite being late - don't waste valuable time talking about why you are late. Apologise - give a summary of the circumstances to last no longer than two minutes and then move on, compose yourself and ready for the interview. Whatever happened, make sure it never happens again.
