hey guys, anyone knows the chances of signing for SO at age 31 yo?
Any maximum age limit when signing on as SO?

Thinking as signing on as one after finish my part time degree at age of 28.

Pes A Combat Fit here.

3 years of working experience in Singapore Prisons (Another Home Team Agency).

Should be getting a form of testimonial from Singapore Prisons from my boss (Supt Rank).
Not sure if it helps.

Pls advice. Thanks. :s12:

i think up to early 30s ba? had ex-colleague who joined at that age.

they can quite bias towards private degree though. i assume your PT degree is private?

had another ex-colleague who was a senior prisons officer for 2-3 years before he joined. but his was local degree though.

just try anyway. no harm trying!

yes. UniSim degree.

In the recent national day rally, the govn has announced that UniSim would be the 5th local uni in spore.

would that affect my chance in a gd way?

Yes there will be a medical check up after u have been confirmed. There is just the simple blood test where they prick ur finger and check for ur blood

hey all, is there a formal interview during documents submission?

No, but there will be a junior officer there there to check your papers to see if anything is wrong, and there will be a Q&A session asking you things like basic stuff regarding ICA (purpose, shift schedule etc), and you can also ask them back things you are unsure of. However, they are NOT part of selection crew that decides whether they let you in or not so don't get worried when you go there.

BTW local uni 2nd upper and above is confirmed ASP when you go in, 1st two years as team leader at land/sea checkpoints handling exceptional immigration cases and supervising, posting to other departments like intel or investigations subjected to internal demand.

Yup.There were 2 ladies and 2 guys.They asked qns like why I'm interested in working in ica.Are you aware of the shifts.
What are my hobbies etc
It was a pretty short interview though.And I only ask them a few qns.Just want them to quickly give an outcome so at least I can move on and not wait any longerrrr

See a lot of applicants or not on that day? Haha. Cos I don't think specialist job is very attractive...

I went for SO interview 3-4 weeks ago, I just receive offer of acceptance.

Any kind advice?

Wow grats. What uni, honors, M/F and BMI btw? And did they tell you how long more to wait until medical checkup and HTA training?
