What sort of case do people take with them to interviews these days?

You poll is missing the lady contractor option.

For me it's: Ridiculously overpriced smart leather handbag (at interview only, it's the sporty backpack thereafter...).

I thought your bag of choice will be a nappy bag at the moment!

A mulberry a4 zipped folio is normally enough to take to meetings.

But I have a ultra slim laptop bag for my day to day laptop.

I did think about it but didn't want to appear condescending

I have a £200 leather nappy bag that looks like a fancy laptop bag. Which is silly, cause I don't even do fancy bags at work. But I'm trying hard to avoid the mummy look.

Just wait until the first milk puke over the shoulder of your best business suit.

There won't be much you can do to avoid the 'Mummy' look after that...

I've never taken a briefcase to an interview ever just not required.
