Interview Skills Worksheet: Preparing for an Interview

Folder: photo ID (proves who you are), marksheets (prove your marks), project file or certificates (show your work), call letter or invitation email (confirms your slot), 2–3 résumé copies. Practise aloud in a mock interview, check the route a day or more before, and sleep on time.
