Here is the Abundance Mentality in action from one of the candidates...

Ward
In regard to our discussion about taking questions and notes into interview here is a quote from page 9 of the 2004 Officer Candidate Development Program, Candidate Guide
During the interview candidates may have:
their notes made during the 30 minute review time,
two pens
drinking water, and
the 2004 Candidate Interview Questions"

Here is the info I said I could share with the other candidates, I think it is appropriate and certainly some interesting insights and opinions.
If you search "behavioural interview" on say, Google... you will get an abundance of good sites to read concerning development of questions, answering questions and everything from what to wear and what not to do or say.
Here are some links to various subjects I have found while surfing "behavioural interview", there are tons more to explore and these links have links to other sites as well.
