I must put this out there. We have ten locations across a County. Today we had someone show up for an interview. I'm asking what position are you interviewing for, who are you supposed to see. She didn't know the name of the person she was supposed to ask for. Then it turns out, she was in the wrong location. She came to the central offices and her interview was in another location over 25 miles away.

I can't stress how important it is to make sure you get the following when you're setting up an interview:

The name of the person you're supposed to meet.
The date and time of the interview.
The LOCATION if they have more than one facility.

We called across town to let them know where she was, but... Do you think this should be held against her?

I agree with what you said in your post above, but I know personally sometimes this information is not posted with the job description and trying to get a hold of a human to ask is not always easy. What I have also found is that some companies will interview at a main location but hiring for a branch in another state. It is like surprise and sometimes this information is not revealed until a job offer is made. Yes, find out as much as you can before accepting a job interview - it does help avoid the issue mentioned in the post above. Wow, poor job applicant!

True, the information does not always appear in the ad (which it actually did for these positions), in this case all of the information (including the address) was given to her when she was called to set up the interview (I know because I gave it to her). :-) The best time to verify the location information is during the actual call, because as you stated companies may have more than one location.
