Be prepared to bring along at least two clean copies of your resume to the interview. You may be interviewed by more than one person, and you will want to make sure these additional interviewers have clean copies of your presentation (rather than a photocopied version). You also may be required to complete an application. Having your résum? with you will help you to complete the form without trying (again) to remember specific dates and events.
Do not bring along your reference list to the interview appointment, unless the interviewer has requested that you do so and you have agreed.
Remember, you first want the opportunity to learn about the position, to establish that this is a position you want to continue to pursue, and you want time to contact your references prior to a potential employer calling them.
