I have never had an invitation experience for a job interview since I am a student, but, in that case, what I would do would be to bring my CV, my identification and my references (as mentioned in the text), but I would practice with a familiar to be prepared and sure of what I am going to say.

The first thing I would do is look up information on a company and see if I'm interested or not. Then, prepare me with all the requirements that they request. Finally, I must arrive early for the interview and orderly.
