Your Interview Toolkit.

You've gotten the call you've been waiting for: your employer of choice wants an in-person interview. You've thoroughly studied the company and its people, the competition and the overall industry. You have answers to those tough interview questions at the ready. You know your resume like it's second nature. You've even memorized the questions (or types of questions) you intend to ask the interviewer. You are all set. 

Now, don't forget to remember the little things.

• Plan your travel so that you arrive for the interview 10 to 15 minutes in advance.
• Get enough sleep the night before. Turn off the television, turn off the computer, turn off your iPhone/Android/Blackberry (or at least, turn it on mute), turn off the lights, turn off your brain and get some rest.
• Select and lay out your clothes and shoes the day before your interview. Believe it or not, this little task will relieve a lot of stress as you get ready on the day of your interview.
• Make sure you take at least 2 copies of your resume and your references sheet. Also, remember to have a copy of the job description.
• Take some business cards. (On old cards, be sure to cross out and replace your contact information.)
• Have 2 pens (just in case), some cash (you never know what may come up in your travels), a small umbrella (even if there's not cloud in the sky), mints (fresh breath counts), tissues, and a comb or brush (last minute grooming is a plus).
• Remember to turn your mobile phone off before you go into the interview.

Finally, take energy, confidence, peace of mind and a smile into the room, and have a great interview.

Go get your job.
