Prepare an Interview Package

It’s always best to be well-prepared and make a checklist of items you will need to bring with you when you attend an interview. Your list can include:

• Extra copies of your résumé
  
• Copies of your references
  
• Portfolio, if requested or needed
  
• List of skills and abilities for your own reference
  
• Complete job description
  
• Names of interviewers
  
• Paper and pen to take notes
  
• Breath mints (no gum!)
  
• Flight or hotel accommodations (if needed), maps and directions
  
• Briefcase or portfolio to hold items
