Hi guys..

i had been reading this thread for quite some time now. I was like all of you... waiting WaitINg and WAITinG.

and finally.. received my letter today. I'll just share with all of you..

I went for my selection assessment on 030309 at Police Cantonment Complex. Submitted documents like edu certs, ns records, nric, transcript, photo...etc. Then on the same day, i did a physical check-up (tts when you need your t-shirt and shorts). In addition a psychometric test. The whole day lasted from about 830am to 5pm, including lunchtime. Once all is completed, asked to go home and wait for about 3weeks.

so i waited....

Received a sms on 170409, asking me to come down for an interview at Home Team Career Centre on 210409 (formal attire). Required to bring documents that have not been submitted during selection assessment. Fill up more documents. Panel interview by 3 personnel. After it was done, go home...wait again. The whole thing was from 130pm to about 4+pm.

Today received my letter. SPF quite efficient now...haha

in it are few documents including medical check up. Medical on 270409. Sign bond on 180509. Appt on 20MAY. So snake....we same same.

Hopefully everything goes well...now pray tt medical don cock up.

For the rest of you all... don lose faith. no call means still ok. even if rejected they will say de...


All d besh!

eh...u sign on as cnb?

my whole process took less thn 3 weeks. frm application thru website to interview to medical.... applied online on 10th april. called up to go for interview on 16th. medical on 23rd. nw waiting for bond signing on 11th may n appt on 13th may

For this section, it depends on how you relate your qualification, work experience and character into the work of a police officer. You must first understand the general role of a police officer then approach by highlighting your strength in handling your duties. What faculty did you graduate from or past work experience?

And if you are answering the questions during interview, always focus on the interviewers and maintain eye contact. Avoiding eye contact is a cue of guilt, lacking confidence, power and authority. It is something that police officer should have at their disposal. Apply it tactfully as too much of eye contact may be perceive as hostility. To overcome it, shift your eye contact from one interviewer to another. It displays leadership in bringing everyone you are addressing into the picture or conversation. Action speaks louder than words and so I display it during the interview.

It takes lots of training to achieve this so try to apply this technique on your friends during a mock interview. I came from a sales line so I'm used to talking to people and that is one of the ways I relate past experiences and interpersonal skills into the duties of a police officer. Action speaks louder than words so I display it throughout the interview.

me ish also wana know....

but i think the best thing to prepare is physically...i alrdy started my running regime again....as for the rest, nothing much i guess...just take it as going back to bmt again lor...

mentally we r there alrdy i guess. i mean, been thru bmt, we shld more or less be able to get used to regimentation as a recruit again...just tht i dun wish to have !@#$%^&*()(*&^%%$ bunk mates again.

gx! gx! u going in 1 week after me!

hmmm...looks like i got chance for CNB after all! i will call up police recruitment centre to delay bond signing! AHAHAHAHA!!!!! my cnb interview is on the 5th....

Hop u get into CNB instead bro. For m feel CNB is more exciting and have higher pay. Got etra allowance. Bu u like plain clothes and challenging career(going under cover, car chase,raids in school,clubs,geylang) Join CNB. SPF is basically bao ka liao. Suicide, murder,neighbour dispute, missing person).

i got a feeling tht SPF sped up my application because during interview, i did mention about me applying for CNB before SPF and my main interests lies in CNB and i applied SPF as a back up only. 3/4 of the interview they were asking me stuffs regarding CNB instead of SPF. weird.

anyway, i called up CNB the other day and they were not able to grant me an earlier interview date. so lan lan. monday i will try to call SPF and see if i can delay my bond signing which will delay the appt date. The CNB recruitment officer gave me a very straight forward reply. You can still come for the interview on the 5th. But after tht, it will be up to you to decide if you are going to reject SPF.

but at the same time, i dont want to reject SPF. what if i didnt get into cnb? thts game over for me alrdy. my gf was telling me, why not get into SPF, after the 2yrs bond then apply for CNB in the way, i have 2yrs exp as a police officer and chances to get into cnb will be alot higher....

what do u think?

I think if its possible to delay the bond signing, u try to delay. It depens on ur interest bro, if SPF is not suitable for u, u will be an unhappy man for 2 years. Think carefully, reason u can give to delay ur bond signing is u tell them one of the surety cant make it on that date and u cant find another. then request for another intake.

CNB and police is different. if u quit SPf to join CNB u be wasting years of ur time and u start all over again as sergeant. granted u may get some increment cos of relevant experience but ur promotion start all over again.

like that you have to start from zero again in cnb wor..

 

[xjasonz]

well, if i have to start all over again in order to do something i will like for the rst of my life, why not? but now, the circumstances might not allow me to get into CNB. so, i have to fall back on the next best alternative.

not tht i do not like the job of a police, if not i will not even aply for it. just tht, to take so many years in a uniform before you get posted to be an IO is quite a set back to some. Some PO i know, has been in uniform for the past 10yrs yet some, after 2yrs in uniform, get posted to investigation.

At least with CNB, u know your career track as CNB deals with just drugs and nothing else. your route to investigation is faster as compared to the police force.

well, my plan now is to delay the bond signing to accomodate the CNB interview and subsequent interviews. if tht fails, i will be falling back to SPF. and hopefully, at the end of the 2yrs bond, i will be able to get into investigations. if not, i might apply CNB again.

Come on bro...don't be disheartened by just one interview. I too have to overcome this when I went for my first interview. Since you were a NSPO then you should be able to describe the duties and how you went about meeting the objectives. You can also relate your experience as a car mechanic going through all the items on the checklist leaving no stones unturned which show traits of patience and determination to get things done. The responsibility of a car mechanic could mean life and death if you know where I am coming from.
