Been asked to take passport and NI card to interview.

[misstiredbuthappy]

So ive got an interview Wednesday after applying online, had a call today and the lady said i had passed the online phase and could I come in for an interview with my passport and NI card.

I thought you only had to show them when you had got the job ? In my current job that's what I did anyway.

Have always had to take these to interviews (nhs).

More and more interviewers are asking for them now - it's to weed out those not entitled at an early stage before they invest time and effort assessing them.

Equally, an NI card isn't essential - I took a P60 instead.

I've had to take them to interviews.

You don't need the card.. just something in your name with your NI number on and your passport obviously.

Unless you have it. I wouldn't know where mine is now.

We ask for them early. Weeds out the load of applicants who don't have a right to work here.

Completely normal so don't worry. Its to prove you are eligible to work go UK.

Seems pretty standard nowadays. It is to prove that you are eligible to work in the UK.

Thank you

Im so nervous, I want the job so bad.
