This.
If they had allotted an hour for her interview, and lined up another one for five, then she missed half of the interview time. This could have made them feel that they had wasted the hour, because if they had it down to a routine that took an hour, they had to cut parts of it due to her lateness, and therefore would not have been able to consider her due to lack of information from the interview.
I work with teachers, and our beginning teachers, fresh out of university, often have the same issues with clothing and timelines. I try to gently make "suggestions" but not criticize their clothing, because it's such as personal issue. The wild wigs, strange hair colors and odd-fitting clothing can make them look less than professional, but they see it as " showing their personality." By the end of year three, they tend to be blending more with the rest of the staff.
