Slept Through My Interview! Now What?

Dear Experts. I slept through my alarm this morning and missed my entire interview! I've been sending out resumes left and right for months now and was finally called in for an interview but now I've screwed it up. Is there anyway I can save myself? What steps should I take to try and clean this up? Here is how our T.A.P. experts answered this question:@sweetcareersQ#168 Call 2 apologize as prof courtesy.
