The purpose of a job interview is for the employer to learn about you and your qualifications and to decide if you would best fill the job opening.
It is also the time for you to learn about the job.
The interview is your chance to meet face to face with the employer and convince him/her that you are the person to hire.
You must do a good job of 'selling yourself' to the prospective employer if you want to get the job.

You should always allow for some extra travel time when going to a job interview.
You should not arrive so early, though, as to appear over-anxious. Ten to 15 minutes ahead of time is a good guideline.
Never arrive late for an interview. Employers want employees who are on time.
