Question

Items you should bring with you to complete a job application include:

Answer 1

Answer:

• résumé
• copy of job advertisement/job description
• references

Explanation:

You should bring several copies your résumé to give to the interviewer. This allows them to see your qualifications and why they should pick you for the job.

You should bring a copy of the job advertisement/job description so that both of you have a copy and you know what you are signing up for.

You should bring a copy of your references to give to the interviewer in case they want to call them up to verify that you are trustworthy. Your references should probably be someone that knows you well and trusts you such as a teacher or a pastor at a church. Your reference should not be your best friend or someone who won't be able to vouch for your character.

It is not necessary to bring your report card to a job interview. Most high level jobs will be able to check your school gpa, and most lower level jobs will not care about your grades.

A few other things to bring to a job interview would be a pen and notepad, samples of your work, business cards, talking points, and an ID to verify you are who you are.

What not to bring

Food- food can be distracting and make you look less professional.

Drinks- This is not an athletic event. You are not stressed out, and you can find water in the building if you really need it.

Other people- Do not bring in your parents or friends with you. You must show that you are self confident and can do something on your own.
