Here’s what to bring to your interview to avoid multiple trips to our office:

• 2 printed copies of your resumé (We’ll give you tips to improve yours during your interview, so you can take a marked up copy home to make changes)
• Any other materials you’d like to share that give us a better idea of your skills and work history (portfolio, writing samples, etc.)
• 2 forms of government-issued ID (driver’s license, social security card, birth certificate) or your unexpired passport

Depending on the job, your specific skill set, and any other requirements for specific employers, your Recruiter may also have you:

• Complete computerized skills assessments (Microsoft Office, typing, writing tests, etc.)
• Perform an on-site drug screen, producing instant results
• Record a TalentRooster video interview, a short video that gives us a unique way to quickly introduce you to potential employers
• Authorize a secure background check

Remember, these are general expectations for interviews. Depending on your area of expertise and the jobs you’re interested in, your experience may be a little different. Contact your Recruiter with any specific questions you have about your upcoming appointment.

Your recruiter will provide that information to you at the beginning of your assignment. While some absences cannot be avoided, good attendance is highly valued at all our customers and it is your responsibility to be at work.
