You may find this has gone out of fashion if you were thinking of taking to interview, sorry
You only need to show certificates and the like on demand

Why?
If people come on here and use their time to give help and advice, it's just basic good manners to keep the post live so others can read the original question as it might also help them.
First Job Interview In 11 Years!
I applied for a job that I really want, and I have been lucky enough to get an interview although it is not for a few weeks.
I've not officially had a job interview for 11 years and I've not been in paid employment for 7 years. What is the best way to
prepare for the interview? Clearly I have met the job description / criteria to get an interview.
Anymore tips or advice? I want to go to this interview with confidence and be utterly prepared for any questions they ask me.
And the follow up:

Yes, lots of studying (aimed to keep my skills updated whilst not in paid work) and voluntary work for several years in the same department / area where I have my job interview. I shall finally work on putting together my portfolio with all
my certificates in!
My own personal experiences should be a plus point as I can certainly relate to 'people' I will be dealing with in this role.0 -

Another forum I use only allows you to edit your posts for, I think, an hour after posting in order to prevent this sort of thing happening.0
