    hi, just a quick question for anyone who can help.

    I have just completed 5years in college, and have now decided to get a job.

    I have applied to a company and was brought for interview last week.

    fortunately, I have successfully got through to the second round of interviews.

    I am undecidable, as to weather i should bring in the two projects i worked on, in my last year in college, since this is the area i shall be working in if i am successfull.

    I would like to show the managers what level of knowledge I am currently at, at the moment and that I am well capable for the job.,

    But is this a good idea?

    should i bring the two projects in to the intervew with me, or leave them out?

    i think two projects is probably a bit much.

    maybe bring the better/more relative one? but dont be showy offy about it. just say you thought you'd bring it along because you think it demonstrates your skills more than just talking about them does, and shows you have real practical working knowledge and have dealt with that kind of thing before.

    Depends how portable they are. Don't walk in with a trolley, projector and a massive 3D model though.

    I hope good spelling, grammar and punctuation are not a requirement for the post.

    BTW, congratulations on 'deciding' to get a job.

    Not your ornery onager

    are you serious ? you pedantic kids are unreal.
    Depends what the projects are, best alternative is to take some pictures and write a bit on them and print it out, like an ADD ON for your cv and do definitely mention them in the interview, even if they are not directly relative to your job, as it will show motivation and commitment and in some shape or form an implicit relation to a crucial requirement for the job
