Job Interview Questions: Do I bring a cover letter and resume to my job interview?

I have a job interview at Old Navy, should I bring a cover letter/resume?

7 Tips To Prepare For A Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
If you're applying for an associate position, a cover letter and resume are not necessary. They dont expect people applying for part-time positions to have much retail experience. Many young people are hired without any experience at all, so there's not going to be much on a resume. Just be prepared to answer the question why you want to work there - that's something that would normally appear in a cover letter -- just no need to bring that with you. Any of your job history was provided on the application when you filled it out online, so no need to replicate that data on a resume.

Trying To Get A Job? Do Away With These Job Interview Booboos

• You might bring the resume (I've been asked for a copy of my resume during an interview before) if you have any job experience, but the cover letter isn't necessary at this point. The cover letter is supposed to help you get them to read your resume and, thus, get an interview...but you obviously already have one at this point.


• You generally give your cover letter and resume whenever you apply, with your application. If they did not specifically ask you to bring one then there is no need to do so for the interview.
