I always bring hard copies of my resume to job interviews. Always.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, always. Interviewers can't take notes about you on *your* iPad. I don't know that it's pretentious as much as just impractical.

Thank you! That's the thing I was trying to articulate.
Anyway, Pete has gone off to Kinko's to get copies of my resume, and then to go grocery shopping. Since both of those errands are near Cupcake Royale and the GF cupcakes, I am hoping he decides to swing by there.

Hard copies. Yep.
Although having everything to hand on your iPad is never a bad thing. Bring all the ammo!
I'm feeling pretty confident about the interview. I know what they're looking for, at least two of the team know who I am, and two fairly important employees at the company are friends of mine and have been muttering about talking to people and saying, "Just. Fucking HIRE HER. We need her."
It's just the pre-interview prep and jitters that are a drag.
Yeah, I always get nervy, even though I know I give good interview. But it sounds REALLY POSITIVE. And I am crossing my fingers HARD.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Jilli! They should really just hire you, already.
And I agree about bringing copies of the resume, but I usually forget and it's generally fine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think if you have iPads to hand out to the interviewers it makes more sense. And, hey, gives you a leg up on the other candidates.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Supposed to have high temps in the 70s this week. Not usual for this time of year, but it seems like the unusual is becoming usual for weather.

If you have iPads to hand out to the interviewers, I will sneak into the meeting and pretend to be a consultant.
I'm fairly confident I can pull it off long enough to get an iPad and run. I'll pretend I'm French or Russian or something. I'll just scowl intimidatingly and brandish a hard copy of your resume.
