These are 4 things I thought would be useful for other
interviewees to know
#1 Be Prepared
Digging through your desk the day of take-off to find your
resume isn’t a good idea
If the company asks for paperwork & stuff,
get it done...early!

get it done...early!
And early doesn’t mean a few hours before the plane leaves!
#2Bring stuff to eat!
OK, this might

Interview
So bring some source of energy...
otherwise you’ll end up eating a lot of these
Oh, and none of these
You cant afford to crash, you have to look good at
all times
#3
Pack light
Take only the absolute necessary...
You’ll get through security quicker and your head will hurt less
But bring something to keep you entertained on flights...
Books!
Some really good ones!
Tunes!

Even if your the social butterfly the people sitting next to you might not be
#4SLEEP!
If you’re prepared you wont be up all night before the interview
Last thing you want is to walk in looking like this...
If you’re prepared you wont be up all night before the interview
You’ll look better and like yourself a lot more
So catch some ZZZZzzzzzzz’s
Good luck with your interview!
Hope these pointers help!
