Yes I did write a few pages of point form notes with my answers, but I kept them in my bag during the actual interview. I would suggest memorizing what you wrote down, instead of reading right off the sheet ?

Thanks a bunch! Will we be speaking to a panel or just one interviewer? What's the set up like?

Last year, it was just one interviewer and they were a rep for one of the organizations that host our 9-week practicum placement. I interviewed with the rep for Toronto Public Health - she was really nice and made me feel super comfortable. They will be timing you for your NI question which I believe is 3 mins allotted. Also, I remember her writing down notes while I was talking. It can be distracting, but I suggest to just keep looking forward at them and smile! ?

Hi everyone,

Looking forward/ nervous about my interview tomorrow!!

I see we are allowed to bring in notes regarding NI. Do you think reading off our notes will lower your interview score? How many people are planning on reading off their notes? I don't want to forget anything!!

GOOD LUCK THIS WEEK :)

Ahh yes, I can’t believe the day is already here! Good luck everyone! ?

I’m planning on bringing a few cue cards just in case my nervous brain fails me, but I’m not going to read off of them, it’ll just be for back up. I don’t think they would allow us to bring notes, and then take points off for bringing them! I’m sure they’re just looking for a confident answer, they want to know we’ve done our research ?

Hey guys !!! Finished my interview . They made me feel very comfortable , however they did not ask me about NI and how that unfolds to the program. Did anyone else not get asked that question ?
