No. Your wife (EEA citizen) must either be already in the UK or travelling with you.

What nationality is your spouse? Which country issued you the EEA family permit?
I am not a lawyer or immigration advisor. My statements/comments do not constitute legal advice. E&OE. Please do not PM me for advice.

Also, your EEA permit doesn't allow you to work in the UK.
So if this interview is successful, which I wish for you, you need to consider immigration options that allow you to work in the UK.

Thats what i was thinking because they wrote on my EEA FP acc. Ivwanted to go alone for the job interview because my wife is pregnant but it more safe she come with me

You are married to a French national. You got an EEA card from the French authorities.
You can't work with that card on the UK.
To qualify for an EEA card in the UK, your wife has to move to the UK.
You have to think about that asap because if your job interview works, you are going to meet with the HR. And they take no prisoners. If you fail to show them proper documentation, it will be the end of it.

What I'm missing here is the reason why\how French Authorities issued EEA card for the spouse of a French citizen living in France. This is normally regulated by the own immigration law of the country, not EU laws.

There is an ECJ case or two about that. I share the specific links bellow for your perusal:
- If the French national lived with that partner in another EU country before going to France.
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content ... 1990CJ0370
Judgment of the Court of 7 July 1992. - The Queen v Immigration Appeal Tribunal et Surinder Singh, ex parte Secretary of State for Home Department. - Reference for a preliminary ruling: High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division - United Kingdom. - Freedom of movement for persons - Right of residence of the spouse of a national of a Member State who returns to establish himself in his country of origin. - Case C-370/90.
- If the French national has another EU citizenship and naturalized French (wasn't born French)
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content ... 2016CJ0165
Judgment of the Court (Grand Chamber) of 14 November 2017.
