Merchandising, Point of Sale, etc, Interview tips

quick question: Is it normal to bring a sketch book along as well as your folio? I have examples of my sketching in my folio but only 1 page.

I know the sensible thing to do would be to just stick it in my bag anyway then whip it out if they ask but most of my drawings are on scraps of paper here and there (ranging from A3 to A6) and my actual sketch book which I carry around is disappointlingly empty (unless I bust my balls to fill it tomorrow).

Sketch pads are the most important thing i like to see when interviewing someone.
It shows how they work/ think etc.... so defo bring it, and show them it!!

Another tip, go spend some time at a concession of theirs and take notes on how you think it could be better... cause that's what they'll be paying you to do :)
Is ighting shit? are graphic to hi/ to low/ confusing message?? Does the whole thing look dated?? what are other brands doing that are better... could they do the same??
bla bla bla

Good luck :)
