I'm doing my RMSI (RCMP regular member selection interview) tomorrow, and I just thought of a last minute question...Does anyone know if I can take notes with me to refer to? I know I can jot stuff down during the interview, but what about bringing my notes with me...not prewritten responses or anything, but point form memory joggers...Any help would be great.

I don't believe so. If you are, you will have to leave that paper with the interviewer when you leave. I am not for sure though but if I were doing the interviewing I would sure look suspiciously towards it. You should be fairly up to date with what has occured to you during your life. Past applicants are prohibited by law to disclose the questions asked of them so you should really have no inclination as to what types of questions they are going to ask other than the general info they give on the RCMP webpage.
They will give you plenty of time to think of answers should you need to. They will also let you pass a question and return to it later mind you they state that they don't want to have to do that very often. I think they want rather instant, spontaneous answers. If you are having trouble retreiving answers to their questions then maybe they look upon that as a potential lack of life experience and inability to think on the fly.

No can do J2D. You will be advised by the interviewer that no outside material is allowed but you can jot down notes during the interview to help you formulate your answers. They will provide you with the pen and paper. They will also keep whatever notes you make. Try to get a good nights sleep and don't think about it too much tonight ...if thats possible. I'm sure you have been preparing for this moment for a long time so relax you will be surprised at how much info you can recall during the interview. Good luck buddy!  |

J2D,
Recruit has a good point STOP STUDYING RIGHT NOW, do something that will relax you or you will not be able to sleep tonight. If you do not sleep, your chances of doing well decline.
My advice for tomorrow: refer questions that you cannot formulate your best answers until the end of the interview. I did this 2X during my interview and am certainly glad I did. Do not rush an answer, only reply with your very best. Carefully assess your response before it is verbalized.
All the best.
