Originally posted by SallyAnne View PostSo I've got an interview in that London tomorrow....3.5 hours on various trains to get to it.
My dilema is....do I take a massive bag filled with train time-comsuming products like laptop, book, mags, knitting, chargers, etc.
Or do I travel light so that when I breeze into the interview, I look nice and fresh.
I just think a big bag jam packed with stuff would somehow look a tad unprofessional?
But then again, 3.5 hours each way - I'll be bored out of my mind if I dont have toys to play with!
What do yous think?Comment

I hate big bags, 1 decent book is all you need to keep the mind occupied
If you must take all the toys use the left luggage, if Kings Cross has not got one St Pancras has (in the passage between monsoon & boots)Growing old is mandatory
Growing up is optionalComment

If I had to travel that far, I'd ask if they'd consider doing a telephone interview first just to make sure you're all on the same wavelength. Thanks to some useless agent, I once travelled 200 miles to an interview which lasted 5 minutes because my skills didn't match their requirements.
Always good to get the technical bit done on the phone too; if it goes well, I find it instils a bit more confidence at the face to face.Comment

Alternativly you could just be very professional, walk in, sit down (I assume your wearing a skirt so knees together dear you weren't dragged up), peel the banana very slowly, tip your glasses to the end of your nose (if you don't wear glasses get some) then inhale that banana.
For extra bonus points if you have long hair and some knitting needles you can pull out to let it drop down this would be benefical.Comment
