Discretionary Equity Prop Firm - Is it a good idea to bring my track record?

Hey WSO! Long time lurker but first time post. I am soon to be interviewing with a reputable NYC intraday-equity prop firm and was just wondering if any has or would recommend bringing some of my trades, tradervue data, notes, playbooks (from the Mike Bellafiore book template), etc. as a way to stand out from the competition. I was slightly red/ breakeven (before commissions) for a few months, then last month I had a good month with a steady uptrending PnL curve and average winners twice the size of my average losers. I used small size, only 100-300 share positions, but I trade high volume and in-play stocks so I am very scalable. Given the high failure rate at prop shops, I figure they would appreciate someone taking the initiative, and I think it'll show them my potential down the line. However, if I already have a good shot of landing the position, I would hate to jeopardize my chances or look like a fool. Has anyone ever encountered or tried this? Any and all input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you a ton for your time!
