Should you give your interviewer your resume?

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>After an interview with an alum interviewer, is it a good idea to leave them with a resume? Even if it repeats information the admissions counselors would already know, does it help you look more prepared and professional?</p>

<p>I think it would be fine to bring one with you to the interview. I do. Some interviewers will take it, some wont. It can’t hurt, really.</p>

<p>I only did it for one interviewer who specifically asked for it. I guess it can’t hurt.</p>

<p>I never bring a resume to an interview (I haven’t been asked by an interviewer for one either) because I think that the interview is a chance for an alum to get to know you off of paper and I feel like bringing a resume defeats the purpose. Instead, tell them who you are and what you enjoy face-to-face. =)</p>

<p>It depends on the interviewer, so go and ask them first. Some specifically do not want anything - and some may have another form they want you to fill out.</p>

<p>During my interview, the first thing out of the alum’s mouth was “Do you have a resume?” </p>

<p>I’d bring one and be prepared to explain it, just to be safe.</p>

<p>Hey Hilary…what school was the interview for that asked that?</p>
