Interview Checklist Items

Interview Checklist Items for Your Briefcase

Your Resume and Job/Professional References: linguists and psychologists have found that 93 percent of all communication is nonverbal. How you present this information says a lot about you.

Pad and Pen: Taking a few notes during your interview (while being careful not to stare at your notepad the whole time) is another sign of respect. “It makes them feel you are listening,”

Business Card: People either take in information visually, audibly or through touch. “The more you give them to touch, the more real it seems to them,”

Directions: “These lower your anxiety,”

Cellphone: Make sure it stays turned off and in your briefcase; it’s a huge sign of disrespect to be interrupted during an interview or give the appearance you’ll be interrupted.
