In today's Calgary Herald there was another article describing the antics of some of these aimless protesters with their vague agenda, but journalist Licia Corbella  includes some statisitcs that point out how different the Occupy "Insert Canadian city here" with how the Occupy Wall Street...

I read an interesting opinion article in the National Post this morning that I thought I'd link here: http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/reaping+what+they+sowed/5564849/story.html

Thanks Franciscorivera for the correction. I just liked telling people that I might be attending M.I.T.... it's all ego! I don't know if it was so much a question about patience as it was a question of acceptance. There's isn't a lot you can do but wait. And here I am still waiting and hoping ...

I had my interview today and it went pretty well. I did use the Pre-Interview Preparation Sheet that was suggested and it really helped me feel ready to go into the interview. Overall no real surprises. I was simply honest about everything they asked me. Oh, and I wore a suit! 

I have been looking on the Forces.ca website for the "Preparing For You Interview" worksheet but it seems to have been removed (or else I am blind and can't see something that is right in front of me...) Does anybody have the link for this? Thanks.

Does anyone know if there is an Occupational Profile for the new WET career? I have Googled and searched but cannot seem to find any proof that the NET & NWT trades will be merged (even though in my heart of hearts I know that they will be united in September). Also, what does QSP stand for?

On the topic of the Spatial Ability Testing, I borrowed a few books from my local library. These gave me a variety of spatial practice tests that appear on many aptitude exams. I found that doing a set of similar puzzles or tests allowed me to improve my scores and come up with different ways to...

Cheeze Whiz adds personality, personality, So many ways to eat it everyday.... This is the worst song to get stuck in your head! Enjoy.

Thanks Francis, I figured I should probably study all the trades so I better get on it. Good luck to you with your interview too. 8)

Alright, I realize this thread has been idle for awhile but I didn't want to start a new one because the title to this seems perfect for what I need to know... So, here goes. I have applied at the Marine Institute to the Navy Electronics Engineering diploma program (NCM-SEP) and although I am...

This might be a bit out of the range of this discussion, but I loved Starship Troopers (although I'm not sure which war that was... ;D). I really liked how they portrayed the media and recruiting propaganda. In today's world of "Breaking News" all the time, it doesn't seem that improbably that a...
