Hi YNWA.1892, haha I got the Thank You email about a week after
my Dialogue Session. So I guess I will have to re-apply again
in 6 months time. A little sad but I kinda expected it due to
my performance during the interview.
Anyway, just a note I got from a colleague whose friend also
went for the Dialogue Session. This goes out to all those who
are going for the dialogue session soon. They don't want
decorated answers, all they want is HONEST answers. For
instance, if your reason to join the SPF is because of the
attractive income, just say so. Answers like "Oh I want to
join the SPF because I want to make a difference in society and I
like helping others in the community." is too superficial and
cliche. Anyone can come up with such an answer.
I think I kinda screwed up my dialogue session by being quite
nervous. My voice was wavering occasionally and I guess I
wasn't really giving the answers they are looking for.
To the best of my memory, these are some of the questions they
asked:
1. Tell me about yourself and why do you want to join the
SPF.
2. Give us an account in your life when your leadership skills
were put to the test.
3. What are some of the qualities a leader should have?
Sorry but I can't really remember the rest of the questions they
asked me. Oh well, better luck next time.
oh sorry to hear tt leechking. Hmmmm if I judge by own answers
it would fall as "decorated", "cliche" and "superficial" but I did
consider my answers to be honest tho :/ i hope my testimonial does
back what i said during the dialogoe session.
Ended the interview by asking them when can i expect to hear
from them and they told me 2-3 weeks time. I hope that was a good
indication.
