Hi all,
Anyone rec tea session 4 DEI apple on 14 Dec?
LOL, female here and this is my second time gg for the interview.
Applied again after the first rejection on sept, just got my email for dec tea session....
Sup guys, funny situation I got here. Just wanna clarify and see if anyone has encountered this?
- Applied for DEI in July,
- Invitation to Tea Session in Late October,
- Withdrew my application on portal a day after receiving the invitation.
- Got new invitation to tea session in December,
- Attended the tea session last week.
The reason why I rejected previously was because I was holding out for another role for a regular office job.
But out of the blue, I got another invitation and took the leap of faith by attending.
So my question is, since I withdraw my application, it suddenly appeared once again on careers@gov after my tea session. Does anyone has this kind of experience and what might be the potential outcome?
Thank you in advance guys!
Shouldn’t you be be clarifying with them why?
I did, but the recruitment personnel did not mentioned anything about it though. Hence, the reason why I'm here.
So that person ignored you?I did, but the recruitment personnel did not mentioned anything about it though. Hence, the reason why I'm here.
Yeah, personnel replied with a short email stating that I should proceed with it. Which I did at the end of the day.
So just wanted to know if anyone had a similar encounter and what's the end results.
Maybe the question is whether you want to proceed with the application? If you do want, then you make sure you reply them FOR THE AVOIDANCE of doubt that you withdrew previously but not sure why you still get contacted and you still wish to proceed.
In case mid way through they realise that you actually withdrew and thought they made a mistake and just cease proceeding your application.
Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. Which is why I did. Was initially hesitant as the 9 months of ICT was putting me off as I'm starting a new family. But after several conversations with my partner, I decided to give it a shot since there's no harm trying.

Ya don’t get it. Ppl assume apply = they get.well since you attended the tea session, the potential outcome is:
failed tea session? end of story.
passed? Move on to selection assessment.
a lot of people hem and haw over want this or want that when it is more likely SPF rejects you than the other way round. So, just go as far as you can and only when you have the offer, then you decide whether to accept or not.

Ya. Strange people. Might as well use the time to apply. Later don’t even clear first round waste so much to think also useless.i've encountered so many times people trying to weigh their options and thinking shift work, family commitments, benefits etc then when i ask them so how far in are you at the application? then they say oh havent send or just submitted only
haven't even get then think so much for what?![]()
True that true that. Though I'm pretty keen to see if anyone had a similar experience as mine.![]()
Wow, I was offered provisional offer only in Jan this yr ahahaha urs sure is fast. Anyway...
What's left is medical, more doc submissions, and sponsorship signing.
G50 form will have to be submitted personally at the HTCC (I assume you already did because I submitted G50 before receiving provisional offer)
Other docs you have to submit includes your
1. Direct Credit Authorisation form (required for them to transfer you your allowance etc) + supporting docs
2. sureties nomination form + supporting docs
3. past and latest semester results (for the study bonus eligibility)
Once everything is done, congrats time for signing
p.s. I do hope your batch has the award ceremony or smth. I missed that cos of covid
edit: for CNB or SPF? tho I think the process should be similar
