Mine was 9.30am.

I was in the room since 9.15am and I ended up waiting till 9.50am for my interview. I recorded myself as well as timed myself. Total about 18 mins long.

They asked me several questions during the prepared question. The part he felt I didnt do so well was that I couldn't narrate (to his liking) about what to expect during my service. Like frontline patrol for 6 months. Then you become investigation officer for a year or so. Then lead investigation officer. I did narrate what I saw on site. But the durations I didn’t quote because I really didn’t know. Rather than smoke bomb. He asked me is 9 months residential training is alright. I did Ns before. So I said ok for me.

He asked me why I selected a certain experience as a leader.
Current affairs question he asked me now that we are entering phase 3, what do you think of it?

He did say results will let known to me in 2 weeks time, he added a see you soon. Which I hope is a Freudian slip.

He asked me instead if I have any questions for them, which I probed, if for some reason I do not proceed to next round, what do I need to improve? He said make good friends with your peer in the force and ask about his role as an inspector. I am not sure what to think of that comment. He went on to said my answers were well thought out and good. I wasn’t the worst and it was fine.

I agree with you on this. His reply seem positive. I also had similar comment on when I wasn't able to articulate out the postings and what's gonna happen aft the 9 months residential training. In gist, he told me to speak to friends in the force to find out more. He wanted me to be sure that I know what I'm signing up for.

Side note, received email today that I'm moving on to the next round (i.e psychometric and essay)

Yes you should tell ur commanders when u enlist.

Check with spf whether you can go in your army uniform.

Strange right? I did quote the positions listed on the website. But he wants the duration. He expected that I know exactly what to expect, Which is fair. But what if I have no friends in the force? Strange but a reasonable expectation I Guess.

Just my thoughts as well - if no friends in the force, might be a challenge to answer. Then again, it could just be to test if you've done enough research on the role or you're just applying for the sake of applying haha
