Monday Wednesday Friday.... Me no like bread for breakfast..

Chomeisen SG

Congrats! U are at the last stage alr. They will snail mail u the info about the medical checkup? Anyways, as for the panel, who interviewed u? The new director mpd, ad manpower and?

yjkeh SG

Hihi, yup they snail mail the letter. I just received it. The people who interviewed me were the previous director mpd, director sird, commander ang mo kio, 2 manpower officers and 2 pyschologists.

Chomeisen SG

Wow. thats like alot of them. Commander "F" go all the way down to interview? u were formerly a PNSF? If you are, were u from "F" div? It must have been a stressful interview. Haha, so many people.

Btw does anyone know if the 5% increment to SPO (as mentioned by Mr Iswaran) applies to entry level SPO? I've forgotten to ask the MPD. So did any of u all asked?

yjkeh SG

Haha nope. I was a NSI from ‘A’ div. The questions were mainly revolving around what the challanges the force will face, how they can improve etc. very internal kind of questions for me i feel. I didn’t ask about the pay raise but i guess it should apply as it was announced that it would apply to lower ranks of the senior officers.

Chomeisen SG

Oh, I was from A div as well. Haha when did u ORD? haha, i had the exact questions during my dialogue session actually. How long did the interview last? Haha, my friend emailed them like a on thursday regarding the pay and they gave him a very strange reply by telling him "the pay raise only applies to existing officers", which i dont understand. Haha.

yjkeh SG

Haha i ord in 2008. My interview for the dialogue lasted about 45 mins i think. I guess it means only officers in the force now gets the pay raise although it doesn’t make sense since officers who join before the july deadline gets it too

Chloerachel SG

Hello! So after reading through the posts, the time for them to call you down for interview is about 1month? Previously I applied for ICA but got rejected. Anyone if SPF and ICA is linked? I hope I can get this job. Been aiming to join SPF before I even graduated :P I applied on 18 July, now my status is in process. Anyone applied around same time as me?

yjkeh SG

Hey there Chloerachel

The interval between stages shouldn’t be more than a month, normally 2 to 3 weeks. I believed the application process between ICA and SPF are seperate though they might share the same physchometric assessment results since i remembered that they asked if we had done any such assessment in the past year.

Chomeisen SG

yjkeh: I was from 'A' div as well! And ORD-ed the same yr as you. Maybe I've seen u before. Haha. Anyways, any idea if we have any sign on bonus. I know in the past there is 4-4.5k, not sure about now. And do we have nights out on wednesday if we go hta.

Chloerachel: I applied on the 6th June, got a notice of the selection test on 21 Jun and the appoint was on the 27 June. After which got a dialogue session ard 2 weeks later. Went for my psychologist test a few days back, now waiting for panel interview. All in all, I finished 3 stages in 1.5 months. So you can roughly gauge the waiting time.

Chloerachel SG

Oh, because what I have read previously, it seems that they take some time to reply. But now I have another week or so for their reply. I hope to hear from them soon! Thanks!!

Chloerachel SG

Hello. I just received their email to go for the assessment. But I wanna check the physical assessment part is test fitness or.? Thanks for answering all my qns. Hehe.

Chomeisen SG

Hello Chloerachel, the physical assessment is an indoor assessment whereby they ask u to do simple "stretching", squatting, and marching. Nth much "physical". No need to bring sports shoes as well. It will take the whole day though. And get more rest the day before because the psychometric test can be quite taxing.

Chloerachel SG

Thanks for the reply! Btw is there any possibility that an interview will be held on the very day? Because I read else where and some say they go through interview that day too? My friend who is a jo now say I might be interview that day? Anyone knows?

Chomeisen SG

Hi, doubt so. Different venues. The selection test itself will take the whole day at Old PA. The interview itself is done by AD Manpower at NPP. I doubt she will be at Old PA to wait for you. I think the selection process for JO and SO is different.

Kidenw SG

Hi Chloe! Are you due for the assessment test on wednesday (1st aug)??

Chloerachel SG

Hi Kidenw! Yup. Are you? Actually hope interview can be done that day so shorten the agony of waiting process :/

Kidenw SG

yuppers...hehehe =) i'm scheduled to do assessment on that day as well...highly doubt interview will be on that day but good luck to you! =) we can hang out together on the day =D

Chloerachel SG

Getting nervous and scared for the assement already.... And so many rounds to go through. 2 interviews right?

yjkeh SG

Relax guys, just have more rest the night before. Treat it like an exam and do the qns super fast otherwise you won’t be able to finish most of the qns.

Chomeisen SG

Agree with yjkeh. Selection test is just like an examination. Just have enough rest and have a clear mind before u go in.

Chloerachel: There are technically 3 interviews. One round w AD Manpower, one round with the psychologist and one round will be the panel. I said technically because the psychologist interview is a non cut off round, whereas the one with AD Manpower and panel are. My advice will be to take a round at a time. Be calm and be yourself. :)
