SCDF only take in the best..they dun take in any Tom, Dick &
Harry. A good NUS degree with an excellent Co-Curicular
activty record is a must. I was shortlisted for SCDF SO appt
a couple of years ago & went for interview at khaki
Bukit..excerpts below.
A for Interviewer (Panel)
B for interviewee (Myself)
A:Do u know how many SO candidates we received each year?
B: Must be many.
A: Is enough to replace all the SO officer in SCDF.
.........
A: Everytime we receive so many applications, tell me how do you
stand among them?
B: I believe I am above average that's why I am shortlisted.
A: So do u think we should take someone in who is just above
average?
........
A: Tell us why u think SCDF is a career for you?
B: I believe in leadeship opportunities...blah blah.
A: Many fresh graduates are like you can talk very well but I
assure u will quit within 3 years.
A: So how is your communication skill?
B: I studied Law and worked ith a diveresed group before..blah
blah
A: So u think is good? I can assure u will sink....
Honestly, I find the interview unprofessional and is more of a
wacking session rather than proper interview. Could be the
interviewer has a bad day or face a rough candidate before
myself. Not surpising, I did not clear the panel..but is a
good experience to know.
