8 Things Not to Take to a Job Interview - Career blog - Position Ignition - leaders in career consulting, executive career change and job search: "It’s easy enough to remember what we need when we’re going to a job interview: map, contact numbers, travel pass etc.—but what about the things we should leave at home?

2. Open Packet of Food/Can of Drink

Yes, believe it or not, job seekers have been known to stroll into the interview room with an open packet of crisps or can of coke on the go.
