ICA called again today telling me the application still in process. They will however arrange me for a medical check-up first. Worried that they are worried about my previous shin injury D: any news for your side?

There will be 2 high rank officers, one officer to take down your notes, the other 2 will ask you questions.Firstly will ask 1) Intro yrself. 2) What you know about ica?. 3)Why do you choose ica?4) Are you willing to travel long distance? Mostly new JO will either go Tuas or woodlands. Airport you need at least 2 years experience then will be posted there.

That is not entirely true. It is true that there may be a record of your past application and also the reason for your rejection. However, that can be said the same of most jobs regardless private or public. Especially when you try to apply again too soon after your previous attempt, chances are the interviewers/HR will still have some impression of past applicants.

However, it does not mean that just because you got rejected this time, you will not be selected/accepted in future. The reasons for your rejection could be due to various reasons. i.e. there might be other candidates more suitable than you at this time and if they only plan to have a 15 man course and you happen to be the 16th suitable guy. Or you are just not ready for this job based on your answers at this point of your life.

I do not know if this is your first job application or if you are currently employed/unemployed. However, I speak from personal experience that your mentality/mindset when looking for a job is greatly affected depending on your employment status. If you are unemployed and desperately want a job, then it might affect the quality of your interviews, compared to say going into an interview with a relaxed mentality that ok I will just give this a try and if it works then good, otherwise I still have my existing job. And I have been on both ends of the spectrum.

Therefore my advice for you is to perhaps try to apply for other jobs and work for a year or so or stay with your current job. If a career with ICA is what you really want, then you will naturally want to try again. And at that time, you might be better prepared and the people interviewing you may be different too.

If you are just looking to join ICA because you have no other options at the moment, then I would advise you to take longer to search for a job. Because even if they offered you a position, I can assure you that you will not last long. As some people have already commented, it is not a secret that working at ICA can be pretty demanding(i.e. shift work, demanding travellers etc). If you do not join with the right mindset, you are sure to burn out.

If you have your mind set on a career with ICA, then I look forward to you trying again soon. Otherwise, I do hope your alternative endeavours work out for you too.

All that's left is to wait for the letter of acceptance or rejection. It will typically take between 2-3 weeks depending on when the next course is scheduled to start.
