Portfolio Check List

Whether you are visiting a potential employer to fill out an application or to interview, here are some items you MUST have in your portfolio...

• Resumes (3 to 5 copies)
• Black and blue pens
• List of questions to ask
• Your business card
• Your Personal Data Sheet (cheat sheet) printed and on a flashdrive
• Reference list
• Work samples

Before you leave the house, you might check the address to where you are reporting and print off a map (from mapquest, etc) and you should, if you are not familiar with the area, do a "dry run" to see if there is construction or obstacles along the route and give yourself plenty of time to arrive 10-15 minutes before the interview.
