Hello, from what I have roughly gathered in this thread, the
typical selection assessment is as follows? Perhaps Belmont or
someone who has been through the entire selection assessment can
help clarify the details?
1) Online application and mailing of relavant documents
2) Selection assessment (3 hours of psychometric assessment +
forms filling + measure height/weight/tattoo declaration etc.)
3) Dialogue (assistant director of manpower + another manpower
officer)
4) Psychologist interview
5) Panel interview
6) Medical
7) Meeting with CP
It took around 1 month after application to receive the
selection assessment notification, and another 1 month to receive
the dialogue notification. In between the selection assessment and
dialogue, they even sent me a letter to inform me that they will
schedule me for the dialogue soon, perhaps due to the length of
time in between.
Apparantly most people on this forum went through the stages
much faster, so it might mean that I am always one of the
borderline cases hehe. Or perhaps they have more time to deal with
me, since I'll only finish my NUS exams in May and might not be
able to join the very next training intake (not sure when
though).
Following is my experience,
1)Online application.
2)They reply within 2 weeks, the HR department ask me to mail
them my photocopied documents.
3)After like 2 weeks, they sms me asking me to go down for
selection assessment 1week later. It basically did 2
things. First do alot of test which did from 10am to 1pm. After
which break for lunch. Later on from 230pm to 5pm fill in forms and
varifies original documents.
4)The next day the smsed me, asking me go down for dialogue
session next week. Which is 6days length diff between Selection
assessment and the next round.
5)Went for the dialgoue. Did some physical checks after with
will go on to the proper interviews. Finished everything by
1pm.
6) waited for 5days, they called me asking me to go down for
psychologist interviews. Length between 2nd round and 3rd around is
7days.
7) I am now 2 days after the psychologist interviews and waiting
for panel interviews.
By the way there shouldnt be the meet with CP that u mentioned.
After medical check up should be contract signing. After which will
allocate to HTA. So between panel and medical check should be
around 1week and between medical check and contract signing should
be 2-3weeks. After which wait 2 more weeks for HTA.
In conclusion, this is a very lengthy process.... From online
application till successfully got into HTA should take around 13
weeks? From 1st round till got into HTA should be 9 weeks.
So if everything go sucessfully, i still left 1 week to see
panel, 2 weeks to get positive result asking me to go Medical check
up, and 4 more weeks to contract signing, lastly 6more weeks till
getting into HTA. ......
