About to have my third interview for an ACD role. It's been a while. Should I still bring hard copy resumes? Should I bring my laptop to take them through my work that we already talked through?

Yes and Yes. Always be over prepared

PRINT YOUR RESUME.
This has nothing to do with being green or living in 2018 or whatever. It’s a physical reminder that sits on your future employer’s desk.

Agreed with cw1. But it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. Also doesn’t hurt to ask hiring manager

like

I always bring hard copies of my resume, and if you have work that you can show, definitely bring your lap top. It never hurts to be prepared and ready for anything!

1) no
2) yes

Your site should have your resume and work on it. If they ask for paper (which they shouldn’t and if they do that should tell you something) say you’re being green. With LinkedIn and websites I see no need for a paper res.

As a hiring manager I always asked just to see if they brought it. If they didn’t, they’re unprepared

like

Hard copies are unique now. I had cards printed for the first time in years. People think it’s cool. (Or that’s what they tell me and somehow I’m placated.)

Granted I don't have as much experience as you, but more than likely I've interviewed more recently than you. From what I've seen, the first interview is about your work and if you're a good fit creatively, but everything after that is chemistry.

I’m doing the same and everyone looks at my portfolio beforehand. I did a resume for fun but no one asks for it either.

like

No it's not. It goes right in the trash. Also, this is a completely antiquated a superfluous practice. I landed my last three jobs without one. Just list anything you think matters (awards, press, past agencies if it's not apparent from your work) on your site's about page and call it a day. If you must leave something, have a nice card that doesn't take up space on my desk.

I stopped bringing hard copy resumes a LONG time ago then yesterday during an interview, someone asked me if I had one. “Shook” is an understatement.

I had it yesterday. Most had a LinkedIn version printed. But some we're impressed with my fancy hard stock. Thank you, Daryl, Staples print manager.

^ You're welcome, from those of us who advised you to bring some. Hope you get the job!🍀

At this rate, don’t forget to bring your head.

Thanks everyone. Made a late night trip to staples last night for resumes. Bringing my laptop. We good.

Recently interviewed at Adobe, it was great. Even the senior designer I was connected with escalated it a lot. But then suddenly after the last interview, I haven’t heard in a week from them even after multiple follow ups. Recruiter said she will reach out on Monday, but even Tuesday passed now. Should I wait a week or move on for other offers?

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.
