Anytime you're going for your next job interview, make sure you take these five things with you.


               
           
               
                   

Congratulations! you've been invited for a job interview. I am sure are ready for it because this interview might be one of the best chances you'll ever get to land the job you desire. 


               
           
               
                   

While you prepare yourself mentally and gather every other thing you need to physically look ready for the interview, you also need to take some things along with you. 


               
           
               
                   

Here are those useful things you'll need to show you're are 100% prepared for the job interview.


               
           
               
                   

1. Copies of your credentials


               
           
               
                   
                  Always edit your resume, don't use one for every job application.

Yes, we know you have submitted your CV, but there is nothing wrong if you go for a job interview with more copies of the CV and other documents. 


               
           
               
                   

Here is why this is important. Hiring managers are always busy, they might forget to print out the ones you submitted. So, save them the stress of looking for it or printing it out by providing them with another copy of your CV. That alone could endear you to them.


               
           
               
                   

2. Folder


               
           
               
                   

Get a folder and neatly arrange your credentials. Don't carry them loosely like newspapers. This shows you're organized which is a soft skill many employers are looking for.


               
           
               
                   

3. Work Samples/ Portfolios


               
           
               
                   
                  Let your job application letter say something interesting about you.

Believe me, this is very very important. If you have worked or working in the creative industry like fashion, journalism, digital marketing, advertising, graphics, Arts and Designs and so on, you need to take samples of your work to a job interview. 


               
           
               
                   

4. Questions


               
           
               
                   

To show you're genuinely interested in a job, it is important you ask the hiring managers some questions. So you need to prepare your questions ahead of the interview and don't ever say you don't have a question at the end of a job interview. Here are some brilliant questions you can ask. 


               
           
               
                   

5. Smiles


               
           
               
                   
                  Smile while you're being interviewed.

Don't leave it at home. You'll need it. You'll need to punctuate the job conversation with smiles. It will give you a positive attitude. It'll show you're excited about the job. However, don't overdo it. Remember it's a job interview, not a comedy show.
