Hi guys!! I applied for BA too. Just wondering, if they call me up for an interview but I miss their calls, will they send an email or have I forfeited my chances? :/ I'm someone who doesn't really pick up call froms unknown number...

Did you receive an sms from sg mail informing you about the call and missed it? Cos the day before they called me, I received an sms from sg mail informing me that I will be receiving a call from them from a certain time the next day.

If you have not received the sms, that means they have not called you. I'm not too sure what happens if you missed the call after they informed you.

If it helps, the call came from No Caller Id rather than unknown.

Congrats octorabbit! Hope you get shortlisted soon! Can I just check, was there a sign for the earliest date of deployment? Is it in July?

Been talking to a few teacher friends and everyone seems to be saying that it’s so tough getting in these days. Because of sch closures/mergers of jc and sec schs, those teachers have been deployed to pri sch. Also something to do with aeds getting phased out, more of them applying for teaching. I wonder how much longer before we actually get deployed. Sigh

Hard to ascertain what is friendly... They weren't mean la. I had an okay time during the 5 minute presentation. I think coz I was prepared for worse.

From reporting time to the actual interview depends on how fast you finish the written task. Once you are done with it, you'd have probably 5 to 10 minutes before you are called into the interview room. The entire process took me 1.5 hours. Good luck for yours!

I didn't really ask ha ha. I overheard HR explaining to a candidate that if you are selected/shortlisted, you'd be informed by 17th May 2019. That's all.
