I always bring my cv to an interview! What’s one thing you always bring with you to a job interview?

I bring a positive attitude, at least I try to remember to bring that. Seriously, I do bring a copy of my resume, just in case it's needed. I knew someone who made a Google Slides Presentation about his career he could show on his phone so he could bring it to interviews. I can't imagine doing that, I'd feel like a prop comic.

Positive attitude is always needed!

A notepad and a bottle of water. I always get thirsty during interviews, either from talking so much or from the nerves. I try not to drink from it too often, but it's nice to have just in case.

Notepad is always a good idea. Phone is not the best thing to have out in an interview!

I like to bring a fidget toy, lol. I use it and it helps me to stay grounded and focus on the answers. I don't care if some people might find that to be childish, it really helps me because I have ADHD and otherwise I would have a hard time focusing.

I find that some people would understand this if explained to them!

Notebook and pen for notes

Yes always good!

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
