You finally landed that face-to-face interview. What to take with you...

If you’d like to ace that face-to-face job interview, you’d better pack for it. 

Being prepared speaks volumes beyond your job experience and the experts at GlassDoor recommend taking these items to every interview you land:

Directions and contact info: Print out directions to the location of your interview and write down the name and contact information of your interviewer. If something does go wrong on your way to the interview, you can let them know.

• Identification: Some companies ask for ID when you enter the building, better safe than sorry.

• Business card: Everyone should have one, they’re great for networking and interviewing. It’s a great way to open or close an interview.

• Notepad and pen: Not only do you come across as more interested if you take some notes, you won’t look foolish by asking to borrow the supplies.

• Resume: Don’t assume they have a paper copy. Always have a few extra copies on hand and offer one to anyone who may have input towards the decision.

• References: Available on request means now. You’ll look prepared if you have them neatly listed and readily available.

• Portfolio: Depending on the position, it’s a good idea to have examples of your work neatly organized in a folder, binder or to be viewed on a tablet.

• Questions: At the end of every interview, you will be asked if you have any questions. Have a list ready to go. They can be about the rest of the hiring process, company culture, or something else. Just be sure they’re specific and sincere to show you’re really interested.
