Some candidates turn up with nothing. Others arrive clutching a bulging briefcase or, even worse, an overflowing carrier bag.
So what should you take to a job interview? |

Copy of your CV / Resume
It's not uncommon for the interviewer to forget it.

| YES |
Notepad and pen
Write down any questions you have for the interviewer.

Briefcase / Handbag
Yes, if it makes you feel more confident and saves you carrying paper and keys in your pockets

Mobile phone
Don't take it into the interview, unless it's switched off. Cancel any alarms.

Voice recorder
The answer is almost definitely no. It's likely to make the interviewer uncomfortable or even suspicious that you might want to use it against them, if you don't get the job.

References and certificates
You don't need to take these, unless you're specifically asked to provide them for the interview.
