Should I Bring A Resume To My First Job Interview. To prepare for a job interview, it's important to first understand the interview process. My answer is no, unless you've been specifically asked to present something or bring it along.
If no, then it doesn't matter at all. Whether you want to fill an upper-management position or you are interviewing to be a cashier or food preparation employee, you should show the interviewer that you are informed about the company and enthusiastic. But don't forget — there are also a handful of physical items you'll want to bring along.
Arrive for your grocery store interview on time and dressed professionally.
Once you reach the stage where you are called for an interview, it means the following: Your application or resume shows that you are qualified to do the job.
What Not to Bring to a Job Interview. I always bring a few copies of my resume, but I don't bother with the cover letter because it's really unlikely an interviewer is going to read the cover letter during an interview. Remember, your interviewer is likely accustomed to interviewing first-time job seekers.
