What to Bring to a Job Interview

Preparation lowers the chance of avoidable stress. Bring only what helps you stay organized, and confirm any instructions the employer has shared before interview day.

A simple way to start

  1. 1

    Bring a few clean copies of your resume when the interview is in person.

  2. 2

    Carry a notebook, pen, and a short list of questions for the interviewer.

  3. 3

    Keep the interview details, contact information, and directions accessible.

  4. 4

    For virtual interviews, test your device, sound, internet, and meeting link early.

Use this guidance to organize your experience truthfully and clearly. A template can support a cleaner presentation, but it cannot guarantee a screening outcome, interview, or job offer.
