omg..u got stuck at the same stage as me...just that i got rejected last jan.:sad::sad::sad:
from what i know you just gotta wait for 6 months then u can try to reapply. im gonna try reapplying again. NEVER SAY DIE! :s12:
if this is what you really want to do, just persist on! Goodluck to everyone :D

PS: i still rmb my mouth was stammering and mind blank out when i had the interview...this time round must brave through it....chiong ah~ :s13:

Anybody who has a degree can apply for SPO. But the thing is.. are you fit to be one?

On the other hand, if you manage to get in the whole training should be a breeze, compared to what regulars and nsf receive. You may also get air-conditioned bunks.

What are they looking for in a SPO candidate? I'm really interested in getting on this path after I finish my NS and get my degree.

Is there a stigma against non-local degrees? Like SIM or even overseas degrees?

Hope there's a regular SPO here. Got lots of questions to ask!

that is true. but on my hand, in terms of mentality, i know this is what im really passion about so dont want to give up that easily. :o i was even thinking of joining as a JO if SPO is not an option for me but my friends say better to think twice. well..shall see how it goes again...

as for training wise, wait till clear all the interview got accepted then worry about it (i.e. 2.4km run). :s22::s22::s22:

PS: any gals here got into SPO training?

If you cannot because a SPF SPO, you can always join auxiliary police (SPO) with your degree rather then JPO.

SPF of course more respectable but if you cannot become a SPF SPO, do you think a SGT(SPF) or INSP/ASP(auxiliary police) is more respectable.

SPF basic salary is always much higher then auxiliary police but auxiliary police have overtime paid & may turn out that auxiliary police gross salary is much more higher then SPF.

Most of the time, I feel that auxiliary police can go home on time rather then SPF. Some more SPF have ambush, activities like meeting grassroots leaders & etc at their own off time.

Promotion wise, SPF is much better then auxiliary police.
  • SPF entry = CPL (Below GCEA & Poly Dip), SGT (GCEA & Poly Dip).
  • auxiliary police entry= SC (Below GCEA & Poly Dip), CPL (GCEA & Poly Dip).
  • After INSP, next rank is ASP for SPF however for auxiliary police is INSP, C/INSP, ASP.

-SPF has retirement sum and pension right? contribution to CPF also more..

-ya auxiliary quite slack heard can go back on time too..

-SPF more stress and fight with scholars for promotion eh...

-both uniformed need to clear IPPT izit?

-SPF training 9 months ...how about auxiliary?

-for auxiliary no need sign on i heard, its just a job that give one month notice if resign, no bond if nv take join bonus*?

-auxiliary if join, u still must serve national reservist i think?

all in all, SPF is hard to enter

Do the SPF prioritize any degree discipline? Or is all fields acceptable?

Also, is private/overseas uni at a disadvantage when applying for SPO?

Govt no longer give pension long ago.

Yes.

Not sure for Senior auxiliary police officer. Maybe you want to call them such as Certis?

INSPECTOR/ ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT Job - Security Jobs in Singapore, Security / Protective Services Jobs, Certis CISCO Security Pte Ltd, Singapore Job Search - STJobs

-for auxiliary no need sign on i heard, its just a job that give one month notice if resign, no bond if nv take join bonus*?

Somehow..can say it is something like that.

-auxiliary if join, u still must serve national reservist i think?

Yes

All fields acceptable base on Bach/Hons degree.

It depend. Please read on.


How do I know that my degree is acceptable for employment in the Singapore Public Service?

( PSD - FAQs )

For graduate positions, degrees from universities accredited by the home government of the country where the university is located will be considered for appointment into the Public Service. This applies to degrees obtained full-time or part time, through distance-learning or twinning programmes, etc. Professional qualifications such as law and accountancy from foreign institutions also need to be recognised by the relevant professional body in Singapore to be considered for appointment.

If you wish to check on the accreditation status of your degree, you can refer to this link in our Careers@Gov job portal: Careers@Gov, or call the relevant education centres or professional bodies.

The Public Service does not solely look at academic qualification when choosing candidates. We also take into account other important factors such as relevant work experience, past performance (e.g. track records), as well as personal attributes like leadership abilities. The relative emphasis on each factor and the criteria set depends on the nature and level of the job, and only the candidate who best fits the overall requirements of the job will be recruited.

Hi,I passed th selection assessment but I failed the 2nd round of interview (spo). Thus I applied for prisons officer and scdf senior officer. However, without any chance to go down for their 1st round of interview, I'm already rejected . Why? Means I won't have any chance for the rest too?
