hey glenn,
if i am right, you went for the panel interview the same day as me. I got a call from them a few days ago and was supposed to be appointed last friday. I was overseas then, thus not able to make it.
from what i know, there will be people going into HTA every wednesday of june so you may want to call the person in ur medical form or the police recruitment to ask abt your status.
for those who are appointed on and later than 1 june, there is a potential substantial pay cut which may be carried out in all government sector. thats wat the police recruitment told me.
Hi all... I'm going for selection assessment soon... For those who went for SO selection assessment, may I know what are the activities for the entire day? Any interviews conducted on the assessment day itself? or just the psychometric test? And also I read that there's alot of form fillings... how many referees are required? Quite excited and nervous because its so impromptu.... thanks!

Hi Kapibara,
When i went for selection is only psychometric test and filling up form. No interview done on the same day. Came back another day for dialogue session. Dunno abt others. 2 referees are required. need to be working now and not related to u, muz also provide their residential address and employment appointment. Hope it helps.
Good Luck
Thanks BPguy! You mean the psychometric test takes the whole day morning and afternoon? That's kind of scary... do you think can put my uni prof as one of my referees?
The morning few hrs is having the psychometric test. Then after dat break for lunch. came back ard 2. Than continue to fill up form and verify certs and transcripts and documents all those. I guess u can use uni prof provided u can give their residential address and contact no ba.
hi guys, i applied for JO.
yes, i also used my lecturer for one of the character referees. lol.
seems like there are plenty of SO and JO applicants here.
Hope that when the time comes and all of you people complete the training, we can have one mass gathering or something. hahaha
BPguy: So the psychometric is all mcq de rite? Anyway which phase of the interview are u currently at?

I think you should direct your question to any senior officer above the rank of inspector.
If they don't know, ask them to go find out.
Their rank is not for show only...
Alright guys, after 5 weeks i've gotten the go ahead from them. woot! For those who are still waiting for their reply, hang in there!

hi, i have some questions regarding the 9-mth training for spo @ hta. hope someone can kindly help.
-are trainees able to go home only on weekends? how about those already married? and those with children? or wife pregnant?
-are there nights-out on some weekday nights (like in ns)?
-what are the book-in/book-out timings like?
-is the entire 9-mth training to be stay-in @ hta?
-are you getting the full salary during the training period?
thanks alot!
@dicktracey77
from what i heard, it's 6-12% for all civil servants though im not sure so don't quote me on that. of course they won't announce. This it the only time where so many people are actually interested in joining the gov sector. If they announce, no one want to join already. So they only tell you when you sign contract. haha. kidding. Yeah but anyway, I just called them and they can't give me an appointment date cause the pay cut isn't fianlized yet.
i got a serious problem...
i heard for the june intake there is no disruptions...what should i do if i want to go poly 2 years later....confirm i must disrupt atleast 2 months....is it possible?

You will be drawing a full salary during your training phase
I am only able to answer your these 2 qns.
I will get enlisted at the end of June. I too have lots of qns in my mind.. hahaha..
Wow Strontium congrates.
I juz got an sms telling me to go panel interview next fri.
What kinda qns will they most prob ask?
Izzit the same as private company like "whats ur strength n weakness", "where do u see urself in 5 yrs time" all those??
Also i got ICA interview tomolo too lol... Dunno what to do if i got accepted to ICA before i go for PSF interview
1st post.
BP, next fri as in 19 Jun? I'm having my panel interview on that day too.
Also wondering wat qns will they be asking too.
Dunno how to prepare...
Anyway some qns about the spo course:
First 2 weekends got confinement (like bmt)?
Also, while finding info about the course, I came across the iPrepNS website. While wat it describes is about training for nsf, i tot spo course would be somewhat similar. Thenn I looked at the field training for spf (http://iprep.ns.sg/field-training.html):
(description for physical training)
" ....5km runs everyday and a 10 km run once a week."
........... wow. Even when I was a nsf in army training for ahm also nv ran that xiong. (6km>8km>10km>12km progressive training at most thrice a week only)
For those that r already in the spo course, is that really that intensive? Think I better train up liao....
