Sample Resume and Interview - help, please?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I have an alum interview with my ED school coming up this weekend, and I'm wondering what I should bring to the interview? I've heard that I should bring a resume, which I'm intending to. Are there anything else necessary? Do I put them into a manilla envelope with my name on the outside, or do I just bring them as is to the interview?</p>

<p>Regarding the resume, I'm in the process or putting together one. A few months ago, I saw a very simple resume sample recced somewhere on CC. I think it is from Texas A&M and uses a cow/beef as an example. If anyone posts a link to this, I'll appreciate it very, very much.</p>

<p>And if you have any advice on how to act and answer questions at the interview, I would love to hear them. This is my dream school, and I really don't want to mess up the interview, as they say the interview is "recommended."</p>

<p>Thank you so much! =)</p>

<p>There are a number of sample resumes on the net, but stay away from websites that try to SELL you some kind of resume writing book or kit. There is plenty of free information on the net to choose from...</p>
