<p>Do you think it would be a good idea to bring your LOA to the nomination interview?</p>
<p>thanks…</p>
<p>Chances are that your senator/representative already knows you have an LOA, I know mine called me to tell me that I had received one even before I got it in the mail, but it could be different for different states (I live in Oregon). I don't see how it would hurt to have it with you so that if it comes up you have it, and if it doesn't, then well, you have it anyway.</p>
<p>I agree, bring it. I'd suggest bringing a bullet resume and your LOA, that way its pretty hard to forget things about yourself in the interview with that in front of you. :)</p>

<p>Yes, but what if they won't let you use it?</p>
<p>My son prepared a very nice "bulleted resume" to help with his interview, and even made copies for the 3-member panel when he interviewed with one of our senators. </p>
<p>Before entering the interview room, all the candidates were told that they could not bring anything into the room with them, including resumes. </p>
<p>So even if you plan on bringing and using a resume, memorize it just in case. ;)</p>
<p>(PS - the senator's office already knew about his LOA.)</p>
<p>That's unfortunate, and I'm sure they had their reasons (how will this candidate act under stress? hum) but it never hurts to come over prepared. I came with a resume for my ALO interview and my ALO snatched it up at the end for his write-up (he was quite happy to have the reference sheet for himself!).</p>
