Posted 21 days ago So I was chatting with my friend the other day about an interview and all the people watching you do while waiting. She noticed some women with no purses, small purses, and purses that could be mistaken for diaper bags : ) So asked what my opinion was on purses to interviews and I thought h m m m m m good question. I would take a small purse with just the necessities . . . then I thought how nice it would be to carry no purse. (canyou imagine a world with no purses ?) So ladies which would you carry and why ? 1. No Purse 2. Small Purse 3. Big Purse |

| Posted 21 days ago From what I know how to dress for an interview. We are to wear our best clothes, like what you would wear to church! So if your dressed that nicely, a small purse would make the most sense. Your there for an interview, not lugging along all your belongings! |

| Posted 21 days ago Depends on if you're using the purse to carry resumes and such that you need for the interview. |

| Posted 21 days ago I'd take a big, professional purse (as in, not an oversized, overly adorned Lindsay Lohan style purse). I mean something that's a cross between a briefcase and a purse. I like to carry my resume and a notebook with me, and it's best if those things can fit in my bag. In the past, I've carried a smaller purse and held my resume/notebook by hand, but I'd always and up dropping things and looking flustered! Editor | Excelle

| Posted 21 days ago It also depends on what you're wearing. Most nice women's pants have no pockets or pockets that can hold maybe a single tic tac. So you need a purse to hold things (phone, keys, etc.)

| Posted 20 days ago Usually just a leather note pad. I minimalize my key ring to just my car key which I usually can slip into a pocket of my note pad. No purse for me. I really minimalize what I bring into an interview- just my car key, pen, resume, job listing and company information. |

| Posted 10 days ago Carry a bag/briefcase that fits the leather folder holding your resume and tablet. There is no need for it to be tremendously large. It should be something simple and unobtrusive. Simple elegance always works in life. |
