<p>should i bring a resume? would it be too formal?</p>
<p>I am a Georgetown alumni interviewer and my suggestion would be to bring your activities list. This is a nice jumping off point for conversation. A full blown resume is overkill. Good luck!</p>
<p>Great! thank you so much!</p>
<p>Yeah, I brought mine and it was good to have something to talk about. You should bring it. And it should help them while they are writing about you after the interview.</p>
<p>I brought one (although not a formal resume) and my interviewer seemed to really appreciate it. That being said, I got the impression I was one of the only ones to bring one, and on CC people have reported, not infrequently, having the interviewer decline the resume, or neer look at it.</p>
<p>FYI, going in the interviewer knows your name, whether you're applying EA, and what school you're applying to. Maybe your major as well? But that's it.</p>
<p>i just had my interview today. I think it went really well, my interviewer was really nice and informing, i really enjoyed it. And my interviewer seemed to appreciate the fact that i bought a list of a little information about myself. So thank you all for the advice!</p>
<p>definitely take a resume! my gtown interviewer ages ago didn't ask for a resume, but when i went to my upenn interview, he definitely asked for one, and i didn't have it. that was a great moment, haha.</p>
<p>glad it went well!</p>
<p>I brought a resume that was a bit dated, and was glad my interviewer didn't ask for one. We had a great interview without it.</p>
<p>I mailed my activities list and some information about me to the interviewer about a week before the interview. I figured he could look at it when he had time and know the things he wanted to question me about and the things that didn't matter to him. Unfortunately, we spent more time talking about him than me and I can only hope that when he goes to write the interview report, he takes information from my list. I would think that he needs to look like he was a decent interviewer even if he wasn't.</p>
<p>After reading everyone else's comments, was I the only one who didn't have a good interviewer?</p>
<p>My younger sister had Georgetown interview and the interviewer declined to take the resume; told her it tends to get in the way of letting the interview develop into a conversation instead of a job interview. FWIW.</p>
<p>This sounds like an individual preference for each interviewer. My interviewer went through my two page, formal resume line by line, and we discussed almost everything that I had listed. In fact, when all was said and done, my interview lasted over 2.5 hours! Is that long compared to everyone else?</p>
<p>haha okay im worried about my interview, i just had it a few hours ago, and the lady was so nice, BUT it was only like 25 minutes long and she seemed very casual, i felt that she talked way more than i did! I brought a resume and she only glanced at it but took it, so definitely take one.</p>
<p>i would say that 30-45 minutes is typical (I'm a g-town interviewer), one hour tops. 2.5 hours is crazy.</p>
