I just handed in my final transcript proving my graduation status from university. I called in a few times over the week to make sure it got approved and that I got merit listed. I just called in today and my file manager said that I might have to do an update interview before I am merit listed. I did the interview only 5-6 months ago and I was just wondering if the update interview is normal for people who have done the interview roughly the same time I had. And if so, how is this update interview different from the interview I had previously done?
An update interview?

Given the time between when you did your initial interview and the fact that you have now graduated (6 months), your MCC just wants to make sure that everything on file is "current and up to date".
It will not be a full blown interview like you had last time around and should not take anymore than 15-20 minutes at the most.
Don't sweat it........and if there is anything that you have done in the past 6 months, be sure to bring that up as it can only "improve" on your file!!!

Okay thanks a lot! I called in to further ask about this interview and recruiter said something about a change in interview format and they would focus on certain aspects of the old interview a little bit more. There is a possibility I don't need to get it done so hopefully I won't have to do it and save some time. I wonder if anyone has information on the next MARS DEO selection date...anyway thanks a lot DAA.

I had to be reinterviewed also in order to update a few aspects due to the new format, as well as having to complete the TSDP. As DAA stated, it's nothing to worry about. Actually, it was to my benefit so think of it as a positive thing.

If I where you I wouldn't want to update my interview. Because like the other guy said if there's things you have done in the past 6 months relating to your trade options or anytig good in general then if its added to your paperwork then the chances are better of you getting a job opportunity.

Your post makes no sense whatsoever. The part in yellow advises the OP to not update their interview. The rest of your post then suggests it is good to update your paperwork which IMO means an update interview is a good thing. Your grammar and spelling is horrible. Make your posts clear and easy to understand.

Sorry about that, what I was meaning is that I WOULD want to update my interview. Oh and a simple mistake doesn't mean you need to bite my head off. By the way there's one spelling mistake there so I don't know what you are talking about.

Not picking on you trying to help you. If you get into the army you will be required to use proper spelling and grammar. If you have mistakes it will be given back to you until it is correct. Not to mention there is a "spell check" button so try too use that. Re-read your post before posting to make sure it makes sense.

No one is "picking" on you. The staff asks that all users abide by certain guidelines, which include utilizing proper spelling and grammar as much as possible. Everyone makes mistakes here and there, and they're often overlooked if they don't occur often. But I have also found a few of your posts difficult to follow. Try not to get defensive if someone is pointing out that you need work in a certain area. It's constructive criticism, not an insult. It would be more beneficial if you try your hardest to work on it in the future, rather than expecting everyone else to 'live with it', when we're all held to the same standards here.

Like I'm sorry but I am from Newfoundland and if anyone on here has been here you would know we have our own dialect, its almost like a knew language. I've grown up on it and we all even type like we say it, so something that is wrong I didn't even know that it was wrong its what I've grown up on. Its like people from Texas in America, they never say "you all" they say "ya'll". The mistakes I make I disn't even know it was a mistake to begin with. Its almost like a culture all in its self. I shouldn't be punished for that.

No one is punishing you. Once again we are trying to help you. If you had used the spell check button the post you just made wouldn't have spelling errors. I can understand your from Newfoundland but there are plenty of people from Newfoundland who can spell and use grammar properly. If you get in the army you may need to do up a memo, letter, or auto biography. All of these will require correct spelling and grammar or it will not be accepted. So why not practice getting it right? If people here see your spelling and grammar improving they will know your getting the hang of it and not be so hard on you.

I take offence to that so thanks. Clearly that's not what i was saying at all but hey if you really want to know yes, in my school when you reach grade 6 the spelling test and grammar test stop. From there on you have to learn on your own and like I said when 90% of your Province speaks and types in a different way then how the rest of the country, then its kind of hard to learn the proper way on your own as a kid.
P.s I used the spell check so if you find anything wrong then its not my fault this time..
