Staples prints CVs for free. (opens in new tab)

It helps to have multiple printed copies of your resume, references, and the position you're applying for. The printed resume is the most essential because you may interview with several people in succession and go through 3+ copies of your resume easily.

Not necessarily a bad idea. I've been on interviews where the interviewer was in a rush, and didn't have a hard copy of my resume on them.

When I interviewed at Google one of the interviewers asked me for a copy of my resume. I gave them one of the five that I had printed out the night before and placed into my notebook.

I wish some of the people that have submitted CVs to me knew that "conventional wisdom". There's nothing quite like trawling through someone's entire detailed job history, including an exhaustive list of their responsibilities at Big Fat Burger when they were at college.

I once applied for a job that stipulated "all CVs longer than one side will be ignored". I got through to the interview and commented on what a good idea that was. He said, "you wouldn't believe how many we get that are still 5 sides long......".
