Interview Planner • Buy a reserve of high quality correspondence paper (stationary and matching envelopes).  • Keep enough stationary reserve to hand to print your CVs, cover letters and other correspondence on matching stationary and envelopes.  • Keep stamps on hand at all times!  • Keep track of all career related written and verbal correspondence.  • Identify your basic interview wardrobe: select one or two outfits or suits that are considered fairly conservative for your field and that you ‘feel and look good’ in.  • Locate your local dry cleaner.  • Polish your business shoes.  • Always have extra, clean copies of your CV with you.  • Keep on file an interview folder to bring with you on interviews. It should contain: a few CVs in a plastic sleeve, some reminders for yourself about your skills and your goals, and a pen and some paper to make notes before and after the interview.  • Bring to the interview: your interview folder, the names of the people you are meeting and the address with directions. You may also want: a comb, tissues, a packet of mints.  • Know where you're going in advance.  • Leave yourself plenty of time to get there.  • You want to arrive a little bit early, not just on time and never late.  • Make sure you can be reached, whether by phone, fax or email.
