Documents Required for Job Interview

Do you want to know what documents are required for a job interview? Here I show you the Walk In Interview Checklist, which includes a list of documents that will help you prepare for the interview.

Whether you're an experienced candidate or a newcomer, getting an interview call is always exciting, so be prepared with the necessary skills and documents for a job interview. It can also be frightening because you don't know what questions an interviewer will ask.

There are also some important things you should bring with you to an interview. Interviewers may inquire about these. Your inability to present these things may cost you your prized job.

As a result, I'll go over the ten most important documents you'll need for all of your job interviews.

Documents Required for Job Interview

Remember that an interview is your first contact with a potential employer. Any regular interview lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the position for which you are applying.

Nowadays, walk-in interviews are very common. They typically last between five and ten minutes. This is due to the large number of job seekers queuing at the venue.

Typically, an interviewer has a limited amount of time to assess your skills and aptitude for a job. They are also under pressure to hire the best possible talent by selecting the best candidate from a large pool of applicants.

There are several things you can do to impress interviewers in such situations. One of them is bringing ten important items to the interview.

10 Things You Should Bring to Interviews

1. Curriculum Vitae, Resume, Bio-Data

The first and most important thing you should bring with you to your interview is your CV, resume, and bio-data.

This is not as simple as it appears. A Curriculum Vitae, resume, and bio-data are three separate documents that must be submitted for a job interview. As a result, it's best to make one of these for each job application and to bring to all interviews.

You can get excellent templates to help you create a job-winning CV, resume, and bio-data. Alternatively, you can hire a professional CV writer to create them for you.

The first documents required for a job interview are typically your CV, resume, or bio-data. This is especially important if you are attending a walk-in interview.

Carrying a CV, resume, and bio-data has another advantage: you make an excellent impression by handing over the necessary documents for a job interview. It also allows you to correct your earlier email error of sending the incorrect document.

2. Educational Certificates

The second most important thing to bring to all interviews is educational certificates. Interviewers frequently do not request educational certificates during an interview because they do not have time to check your grades and other details.

However, an interviewer can never be predicted. They may request your educational certificate or mark sheets only to ensure that you are prepared for the interview.

Before attending the interview, you may be required to fill out a form. This is common in walk-in interviews.

Furthermore, some organisations will require you to fill out a form immediately following an interview. That is usually an indication that the employer intends to hire you. And if you don't have copies of your certificates, someone else might get the job.

Take original educational certificates and mark sheets with you at all times. Carry photocopies of documents that have been duly attested by an authority such as a District Magistrate, a judge or a local court, or the postmaster of the local post office, among others.

You must include attested photocopies with your application form. Having these duplicates makes perfect sense. You might not be able to make copies and have them attested close to the interview location or office.

 

3.) Permanent Account Number

In India, a Permanent Account Number, also known as a PAN or PAN card, is required for all interviews. A PAN is useful for a variety of reasons, regardless of whether you are a taxpayer or not.

Financial institutions and banks will only hire you if you have a PAN. This is due to the fact that a PAN number can indicate whether you are a loan defaulter or have a low credit score for any reason. These are not reasons to turn you down for an interview. Nonetheless, some employers seek this information.

Furthermore, you may be required to attach copies of your PAN card to an application form provided by the employer before or after an interview. As a result, make copies of your PAN card. You can self-attest and attach these copies.

4.) Salary Certificate/ Salary Slip

A salary certificate or salary slip is essential for people who are changing jobs. It clearly shows your income, including your basic salary, allowances, tax, and other deductions. A salary slip can also be used as a negotiating tool when negotiating salary and benefits with a potential employer.

A salary slip is also useful for a new employer to obtain your Provident Fund account number and other information when hiring you.

However, a salary slip or certificate alone isn't always sufficient. You may be required to prove your income by submitting a bank statement or copies of your bank passbook showing the salary transfer and the amount of money.

5.) Experience Certificates

An experience certificate is required as a supporting document for both experienced and inexperienced job seekers. However, in the case of a new hire, this supporting document is not required.

If you are a recent graduate who has completed an internship, bring an experience certificate to the interview.

For working job seekers, an experience certificate is a must-have supporting document. Obviously, if you're changing jobs for the first time, you won't have any experience. If you get a new job, you can provide one later.

An experience certificate assists employers in estimating your skills and determining your value to the organisation if you are hired.

If you have enough experience and the new employer really wants those skills, an experience certificate can help you get a much higher salary offer.
