1. Things To Take To a
Job Interview

2. Congratulations, you have made it to the interview stage!

3. Let’s get you prepared with a list of items that you will need to take with you
to your interview.

4. Firstly, you will want to plan your route to where your interview will be held
preferably a day or two in advance. Use a print out or written directions just
in case your mobile battery is low or you cannot get a good GPS signal. The
last thing you need is to be late because you got lost.

5. Take the details of who to ask for when you arrive, including their
full name, telephone number and optionally their email address.

6. Taking a few copies of your up to date CV will always give a
good impression.

7. Take your portfolio with you as this will showcase your skills,
qualifications, experience, training, education and references. Your
portfolio will highlight your accomplishments and will give the interviewer
a picture of who you are and what you have to offer. This is a great selling
point and can make all the difference.

8. Be prepared with a notepad and a couple of pens and take notes
during the interview.

9. Write down in advance any potential questions you wish to ask during the
interview. It is very important that you ask relevant questions as this will
show the interviewer that you have done your homework regarding the
vacancy and the organisation.

10. Research the employer before your interview. See our previous
presentation “Research The Employer Before a Job Interview” that provides
some useful tips and will highlight some questions you can ask during the
interview. Take this research with you as this will help show that you are
a serious candidate.

11. Some companies also like to see identification during the interview stage
so it is important that you take some form of identity with you such as
your passport or photo-driving licence.

12. Make sure you look professional and keep your bag organised so
you have everything you need at hand.

13. Finally don’t forget to appear confident and enthusiastic at all times.
Good luck!
