Job Interview Prep Guide: Essentials & Best Questions to Ask

Job interviews can feel intimidating, but with the right preparation, you’ll walk in with confidence and leave with a strong impression.

You’ve polished your resume, practiced responses, and maybe even Googled "What should I bring to a job interview?"—or searched for the best interview questions to ask to stand out. If that’s how you landed here, you’re in the right place.

What To Bring To A Job Interview

Your performance in the interview room matters, but so does what you walk in with. Here's a list of essential items to bring that could make or break your impression.

Hard Copy of Resume

Be sure to bring at least two crisp, professional copies of your resume printed on high-quality paper. Even if your recruiter has a digital copy, interviewers appreciate the effort of a well-prepared candidate.

Pro Tip: Keep your resume in a neat folder to avoid folds or creases.

Relevant Certificates

Did you list certifications on your resume? Bring originals and photocopies of any relevant academic or professional certifications. Employers may want proof, especially if you're claiming niche skills or technical qualifications.

Portfolio (If Applicable)

If you’re in a creative or technical field—like design, writing, architecture, or coding—carry a digital and physical portfolio. Whether it's a printed booklet or a tablet with a curated PDF, show your best work with pride.

Extra Documents

Include:

Experience letters

Cover letter copies

Reference letters

Transcripts

National service discharge certificate

Having more than you need is better than being caught off guard.

Reference List

One of the best interview questions to ask yourself beforehand: “Who can vouch for me?”

Your reference list should include:

Full name

Job title

Organization

Email & phone number

Brief context of your relationship

Office Address & Contact Info

You don’t want to be late or lost. Save the office location on Google Maps and write down the contact info in case of poor signal or battery failure.

Plan your route in advance and aim to arrive at least 15 minutes early.

Valid ID Card

Most corporate offices won’t let you past the reception without valid ID. Carry a government-issued ID like a national ID, driver’s license, or voter’s card.

List of Questions

Don’t just answer—ask. Prepare three to five thoughtful questions for the interviewer. Need inspiration? Try:

What does success look like in this role?

Can you describe the company culture?

What are the biggest challenges facing this department?

Water Bottle & Light Snack

Stay hydrated and energized. Bring a reusable bottle and maybe a small snack like a granola bar—especially helpful if you’re attending back-to-back interviews or assessments.

Confidence & Positive Attitude

You’ve made it this far because you’re capable. Maintain eye contact, smile, and remember: interviews are two-way conversations. You’re also evaluating them.

Interview Prep Tips for CandidatesIf you're job hunting, here are some tailored tips to keep in mind:

Document Extras

Besides the global essentials, employers may request:

NYSC Certificate

“ What was it that made Tony Blair such an effective communicator in early interviews? My guess - he gave a sense that he’d thought further and more clearly on the issues than the interviewer and had an instant, plausible response. Starmer, unfortunately, is reactive and defensive.”-Jo Wolff

“....a few more points I'd make as to what politicians could learn from Blair:

1. Master the skill of redirecting any question back to your key talking points without appearing evasive or waffly.

This seems hard, but I don't think it has to be - looking at Blair interviews he kinda had a structure:

Directly take on the question in 1-2 sentences.

Locate it in a broader context

Get to your talking points.

Use humor to ease tension/ bridge gaps in your argument.

2. Don't be afraid to tell people they're wrong.

Blair often, in a nice way, would just say "look, we disagree about this". Politicians are terrified of this, but I think it makes you look more honest, and people respect it more than just saying whatever people want to hear.

3. Don't be afraid of depth.

Blair was a bit of a policy wonk. He was passionate about the details.

Think about being in a job interview - you want to show that you both can do the job and *want* to do it.

Just don't use jargon, don't condescend, and you're fine.

4. Don't be afraid of values.

Blair often said he wasn't an ideological politician, but what he meant by that was he wasn't dogmatic. He brought in values a lot, indeed almost every answer involved them and/or the vision of the country he wanted.

I was listening to Labour people do interviews for the recent elections and not only did they not have the redirect structure down, not only were they trying to please everyone, but when they got to their talking points it was just a list of things like "create investment".

Voters are more influenced by values than policies: the later are complex and will change depending on circumstances - we want to know what type of society your trying to create (and that you're competent to do it), sorting the details is your job if we elect you.

So that's my list of what to learn from Blair.

Note that none of it requires us to accept his centerism, it goes for politicians across the spectrum....”-Political Philosophy Podcast
