Interviews are full of curveballs, a candidate’s assessment with complex questions, or how a person sits or sips water. In this one interview, however, was that the candidate showed up 25 minutes earlier.
Yes, you read it correctly: the candidate arrived soon.
In the viral post of LinkedIn, Matthew Prewett, the owner of the Atlanta Cleaning Service, he shared that he had hired a candidate because he appeared “significantly soon” for a job interview.
“Last week, I had a 25 -minute candidate for an office manager. This was the main decisive factor for hiring it,” he wrote in a viral post.

Matthew, however, explained that being soon is not a problem, but “show extremely soon” can be considered “negative” because it suggests a bad management of time or even worse-that person expects to be “accommodated in time”.
“Here is why I saw it negative. The show is good soon. A demonstration very soon may indicate that someone is not good with time management or expects to be accommodated in time,” he said.
Matthew, who shared the case of a candidate who refused to be too early, said in a viral post that the man “turned out to be in time” – “he did not mean any comment that he was soon”.
Matthew explained that he had planned to be available about ten minutes before the interview, and the candidate knew the company had a small office.

“I did a double duty as a receptionist, so when he was soon, I meant I had to leave my office door open and have a whole phone call with him. It wasn’t something explicitly private, or I would ask him to return at his scheduled time,” he said, adding that the candidate made him “rush”.
In his detailed post LinkedIn Matthew, he said that a man who appeared soon, “showed a lack of social consciousness and lack of correct time management because he did not come from a long distance.”
He also said that if the candidates look at the advice website in an interview, they will see that most suggest that it shows five to fifteen minutes earlier and “recommended to show significantly sooner”.
Here is how Netizens reacted to a viral post:

“Make them comfortable. Show them where toilets are, offer water or coffee, and maybe provide some of the marketing materials or industrial magazines that you can read while waiting,” the other user said.
“Good candidates are caught on the side of caution when planning their route – it never knows whether a traffic accident or other unplanned event would otherwise make it late,” they added.
“Sounds like the candidate has avoided a bullet. I hope they’ll see it,” the user joked.
“Wait, what!? You hired them for that?
