Oh well, I didn't make it. Emailed them yesterday after waiting close to one month, never even got a chance to interview and today they changed the status to unsuccessful.

Guess I'll try again next time around next year.

Anyone knows when is the best time to re-apply, when they usually post job vacancies or when they usually held the Home Team Career Fairs? Thanks.

You are planning to apply for SO or JO?

Have you gone through NS? This is because by having so you should have the knowledge about PES.

But the bottomline is you have to be physically fit inorder to get a A or B status.

Apart from physical abilities, mental assessment and qualifications is the other factors for your application.

I have gone through NS and I know about the PES requirement, but because I am from Police (NS), I am unable to get the PES document online.

But problem solved :) I got the document I wanted and already submitted

I'm applying for JO.

Then just try again in about a month or two because the frequency of JO course is higher than SO. I know of people who got rejected or did not hear anything the first time, but got selected for interview the second time.

Good luck.

Very hardly they will reject application for JO without interviewing i guess.
Anyway ica will have a date record of you applying for the job.

Yup I'll try again soon. Actually this is my 2nd time I'm applying for the JO position. The first time i was shortlisted which was last year May 2013 but already got another job.

This time I was unsuccessful.

Thanks.

Will there be any upcoming Home Team Career Fair being held soon?
Anyone knows?

Yeah, I also got a call saying that they are reviewing the applications after I went for the interview. I used "ica_recruitment@ica.gov.sg"

I never get any call from them after interview. Think your chances of getting in is higher.

Any news from them so far?:)

ICA SO

Will this affect the interview outcome when I said "no" after the interviewer asked 'any question for me?'
This is my first interview and I didnt know that was a trigger question :(

I also replied no when they asked me that. Just asked when will i get result and they said in about 1 month. And i got accepted after about 1 month from the interview date so there's still hope for you!

yup im at the last round of interviews for SPF. 4 stages of interview is insane for any job.. ICA have already offered me a place.

was in same situation as you.. deciding betw a maybe-will-get (at 4th stage) vs already-got (definite offer) is never easy, and potentially regrettable.

Hi guys, I got shortlisted for specialist and gg down to submit my documents on the 7th. Just wondering, should I mention that I have travel plans in jan'15 and april'15 or should I wait till the interview or mention it on both occasion?

I'm quite scared it'll affect my chances of landing the job :/

So what's the average waiting time for the result? It's already been 2 weeks since my interview :(.

IMO, you should just inform the HR personnel when you're submitting your course document just to prevent any complication in the case where you get the job and may ultimately be forced to choose between either 1 of them.

Informed them and his face didn't look promising though he said if selected, they'll work something out about the overseas trip. I guess chances of getting it decreased :/ guess I'll have to try again in the future:D
