I went for interview in Sept and received an email from MOE yesterday. They are still processing my application. If successful, the employment will commence on 10 Feb and the possible offer of appointment would be by 3 Jan. My careers.gov status is "shortlisted"

Congrats Rocky! Able to share the date of your interview? And did the status change before the processing email? Or is it after? 🥺 my status is still “in process”, it is worrying.

Hi everyone, I just received the possible offer of appointment today! Interviewed on 1 July. Atb to those still waiting, think you should be receiving the email soon!

Wow, congrats! Can you share with us the timeline?

I went for interview in August and thereafter received 2 emails for more documents, last one being September 30th. After that no news...

The wait is.... !!!

Thanks @divannne and @earlgreymilktea! It really was a long wait.. and a bit of an emotional coaster ride too.

Here is my complete timeline:
26 May - Submitted my application
21 June - Received Annex A email
26 June - Received interview invitation
1 July - Interview day
8 July - Received email for EPT availability
22 July - Received call to verify some details
24 July - Received email that they are processing (So far so good, updates have been quite regular up to this point :) )
25 July - Status change to ‘Shortlisted’ (happy for a moment here, then this happened shortly after —>), received email that I have to take EPT (T.T)
1 Aug - EPT day
.
.
.
Radio silence for a month.... (Sigh.......)
.
.
.
2 Sept - EPT results out (Passed! Yay!)
3 Sept - Received email for medical checkup (Again, yay!)
4 Sept - Cleared medical checkup
.
.
.
Radio silence again for about 2 months... (My excitement died down again)
.
.
.
31 Oct - Received email for possible offer of appt (Finally!!!)

Anyway, my date of signing is 21 nov and start date is 19 Dec! Hope to see some of yall there too (though we won’t know its one another).. Haha.

Hello, thank you I have seen the reply but am unable to sent PMs now.

Can i ask, is there any format to remember for the essays and also did you memorise any content?
For the argumentative, did u provide a supporting and refuting stand or just those supporting your stand?

Hi, all PM replied. All the best!

Format is similar to the test sample provided by MOE.
https://www.moe.gov.sg/careers/teac...st/english-language-entrance-proficiency-test

I recommend doing the 2nd essay first due to time constrain and yes, you will need at least 1 opposing point. Generally, I plan for 2 supporting and 1 opposing point. Lastly, do the intro and conclusion. That would be 5 paragraphs in total. For each point, add on elaboration and examples.

I find that memorising was not helpful for me because the topic is always different.
Be careful to answer the question and not go out of the topic.
Above is based on my limited personal experience. Hope it helps.
Anyone else with experience feel free to share or feedback.

Hi everyone, I just received the "we are still processing your app" email today.
Anyone knows what that means? I interviewed in end Sept and status is still 'In Process'.


Hey so sorry I missed this but I got the processing email 1 day after you. Status still In Process. Not shortlisted. So nervous really :( Does this mean anything like rejection will come after? This is killing me!!! Hahahaha

hey yeah my status is still 'In Process'... based on past replies, it's common for ppl to receive their rejection email even after the processing email.. let's just wait and see! good luck to you~
