Always bring a notebook or a folder with paper, extra copies of your resume (trust me, the printouts from Monster.com are a mess) or a small, professional briefcase to pack these things in. Also—always make sure you have a pen. Sounds so simple, but it's easy to leave the house without them. Arriving at an interview without them tells an interviewer that you're just planning on "winging it", and that you don't anticipate the need to jot anything down to ask about later. Kind of like when a waiter arrives at your table without a pad. You assume he'll care enough to remember your order correctly when he gets back to the kitchen, but you're not always sure. You want an employer to always feel sure about you and your abilities.
