Quick little tip that could save your butt when planning an interview or office visit situation: Always take into account that you may be in a different time zone.
This is something that you will get the hang of soon after college once you start working. You should not only specify AM or PM when referencing a time, but also the standard time zone which you are in (CST, EST, etc). If a recruiter sends you an email asking you what time you would be available for a call or interview, just tack on the time zone to the end of the range of time that you give them.
"Oh, anytime after 1:00 PM would be fine as I will be asleep pretty much up until that time." - BAD
"Oh, anytime after 1:00 PM EST would work out great so that I have time to roll out of bed and find my phone." - GOOD (well except for the whole lack of initiative displayed)
So, it's a good practice to always state the time zone, even if the company is in the same time zone as you. You never know if the recruiter might be across the country and will be calling you from there for your phone interview. I imagine that some people have been burned by this, so don't shoot yourself in the foot when 3 letters could save you from screwing up.
