You know the importance of dressing professionally for an interview and showing up on time ready to discuss the job you’re eager to fill. However, it’s equally important to come prepared with essential documents that many employers will ask to see.

1. Your social security card, necessary to secure employment and payment once you’re hired.

2. Your current state-issued driver’s license or a government-issued identification card to show that you are who you say you are.

3. Your resume of past work experience, typed and printed out on standard white paper. Some job seekers believe they will make an ‘impression’ if they choose colored paper or sheets with decorative imprints. You will stand out–but for all the wrong reasons. Furnish the interviewer with information about your education, training, and former employment. Include only those details that apply to the work you wish to do. This is not the place to mention your teenage job as a baby-sitter or newspaper carrier.

4. A completed job application with all pertinent information filled in correctly, clearly, and legibly. Don’t make the hiring manager ‘work’ to read your handwriting or printing.

5. References. Typically, an employer likes to see three good references from former employers, long-time personal friends, or others who know you well and can speak to your character and work ethics. Be sure to ask their permission ahead of time. Avoid using relatives.

6. Transcripts. Some employers may require an official copy of your transcript of educational credits, course work, degrees awarded, post-secondary classes, as well as any professional acknowledgment you received such as an honorary degree or certification in a particular field.

Step up to the opportunity of a lifetime — the interview you’ve worked so hard to land. Then cinch the deal by arriving on time, dressed appropriately, and equipped with these six items. You will be received and welcomed as the professional candidate you are. Then wait for those three words you’re eager to hear…

“WOW, You’re Hired!”
