Packing for a Callback

What do I need to make sure to print and bring? Should I have a copy of my resume and transcript for each interviewer? How about cover letters, references, writing sample?

I'm assuming a suit the entire time of course but is there anything you brought with you in your briefcase/bag that was different from screener interviews?

A bottle of water is smart, all of the talking/moving/nerves can leave you with a dry mouth. A padfolio with resume/transcript is likewise smart, I don't think I ever needed them but you might get hit by a last-minute interview change and then it could be helpful to have copies on you.

Make sure you bring lots of cash for cabs. Credit cards are almost universally accepted and we live in the age of uber, but you never know. Make sure you ask for/keep receipts everywhere.

And if you are heading to the airport right after a callback, it's fine to bring luggage and ask to leave it with reception at the law firm. At big firms they probably have a closet filled with other candidate's luggage already :lol:
