Most people are nervous before an interview. They are so busy thinking about the possible position or thinking about things to say that they forget the little things. Here is a pre-interview checklist to help you get everything in order.
- Bring a pen and a pad of paper. This is helpful if you talking about the terms of your employment or if you are being given dates, names or numbers.
- Have a copy of your resume. The interviewer may forget or misplace your resume if you have one to provide it shows that you are prepared.
- References, if they asked you to bring them then make sure you have them with you. Even if they haven’t asked yet, bring your references.
- Depending on the type of position you are interviewing for it may be appropriate to bring a portfolio of your work with you. This can provide some real examples of your work and allows you to detail some of your past experiences.
- Finally take care of yourself, eat something, have a shower, brush your teeth, go to the bathroom. Bad breath or a rumbling tummy can be embarrassing. Take some time to get cleaned up and it will help you to relax and avoid possible embarrassment.
Good luck! |
