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.
