When I was Creative Director over at Omniture (nearly 5 years there) I did several interviews while trying to find junior designers. To my surprise nearly half of the applicants that passed the initial screening did not show up with anything to the interview. I realize it may be 2006 here, but I'm still an old fashioned guy and believe that if you're going to meet with me, bring something to show me! "But it's online", they'd say... and then we'd hover around the computer screen and talk about their work. ("Click there", no, "click there") Even in the computer age, I want a resume to touch (did you choose an interesting paper?), I want a book to hold (how will they present to me as an employee, a quick email?), and most of all, I want to pull myself away from my computer screen for a few minutes and have a conversation with you, the applicant. Thanks for the great blog! I would add another one to your list. When I was Creative Director over at Omniture (nearly 5 years there) I did several interviews while trying to find junior designers.

I'm going to pass this on to my senior classmates at the University of Utah graphic design program. Great list here Josh.
