Congratulations. Yes, on 2 Dec in fact.

I'm not sure when VITAL would get back to us on the LoA. For those working and with 1 month notice periods, are you going to tender real soon seeing as the start date is 4 Jan '21? What if something screws up and you ended up not having an offer? As the email states, an offer is confirmed only upon signing the LoA. But if you delay your resignation any longer, you wouldn't be able to meet the start date.
Thanks and congrats to you too! I will be turning in my resignation letter tomorrow actually.

Not sure about the rest but I'm placing my faith in VITAL clearing the LOA - I think the risk of things getting dicey with me tendering any later, trumps that of things falling through on VITAL's end.

Help me plss

Hi people, sadly I was rejected by SPS after the selection and document submission stage at September.

I'm from NTU, with a quite decent grade(first class). Anyone can suggest on the possible reasons? I'm thinking of applying it again. I will only receive my last sem results by the end of December and the HR told me to not worry about it and then I received the rejection mail haisss:s11::s11:

I'm not a locally born Singaporean and I obtained my citizenship after NS(2017). Could that be the main reason? But if that's the main reason, I don't think I will be called up for the selection leh. or is it because there are enough locally born Singaporeans selected for RO, then they kick me out:s11::s11::s11::s11::s11:

I passed the colour vision test and my BMI is above the health range(27++).

It could be that you failed the psychometric tests and/or any of the factors you have stated. Nobody knows for sure. Don't let this get to you, though. Try again and give your best, as with anything else in life.

If you have first class... why would you want to join SPS :s22:

We can only provide you with speculation and I am pretty sure that's not what you are looking for.

I just received an email offer for the position of RO and pending LOA from VITAL. If it interests anyone, the steps so far have been as such:

Apply through Career@Gov
Selection Assessment (verifying documents, psychometric tests, taking height & weight)
Panel Interview
Health Screening
Reference Check
Email Offer

i heard from others they say selection assessment got situational judgement test and essay writing.
what type of questions they asked during panel interview?

how long u waited to receive letter of acceptance?
