What should you bring to an interview?

You ask the simple questions to see if they've got some kind of brain in there and then you can get to the more direct stuff.
The 'Right Person' is definitely not going to be the person who cannot answer 'Can you give me an instance when you used your own initiative?'.

Yes, true. But why not just find out the applicant is useless with some interesting questions? Life's too short. I might be hit by a car tomorrow :eek:

Surely whatever pre-interview screening process is in place is to ensure that you don't have bums who can't do anything and need babysat in the interview?

I'd probably go with a copy of my CV and a list of any questions I wanted to ask. Maybe a bit of background on the company, but not much point carrying this with you as you should've read it already.
 
Take a clean STD test certificate if you can. A lot of interviewers will be embarrassed about asking for it, so just hand it to them at the start.

I've sat in interviews of Health Professionals who obviously have degrees and other such qualifications who totally clam up but their pre-screening got them through to the interview.

But really that's my entire point. Allowing somebody to prepare anything doesn't give an accurate representation of how they can think.
