When preparing for your first interview, you should make sure that you have all of the following materials in place to bring along with you, EXCEPT _________.

• A. Resume copies
• B. References
• C. A report card from most recent schooling
• D. Portfolio of work

Answer: (C)

In interviews, you want materials that directly support your professional qualifications and readiness. Bring several copies of your resume so each interviewer can review one, plus a prepared list of references with contact details. If the job involves showcasing your work, a portfolio or samples of relevant projects are valuable to illustrate your capabilities. A report card from your most recent schooling isn’t typically required for a first interview; it doesn’t reflect your professional qualifications and can distract from your narrative. Transcripts might be requested later or if you’re a student applying for internships, but they’re not a standard item to bring unless specifically asked for.
