Cos Im more worried of not getting interviewed);
Your test will be done on paper. So theres no way you will get to know the result same day. Yes you will still be interviewed. But eventually the results of both your test and interview outcome will be determined if you are suitable for the job.
Test is not hard. Just need to be fast. I dont think it's easy to fail the test unless you really really screw up.
I see thanks for the clarifications mate. Btw do you remem the questions that were asked during your interview?
Any ideas if they still might take me into consideration if the test I didnt manage to do well but my interview goes well or vice versa? Also is there this an essay that we need to do in that test?
The typical questions i think they would ask is why you want to join the force. And what you know about job scope of a police officer. I was nervous so i turned the tables by asking about career progression and how did the 2 interviewers ended up where they are. They spend a whole 10 mins (i think) sharing about their experiences. I would strongly suggest you prepare few questions to ask the interviewers so at least they would think that you are keen.
But again i think it depends on who is interviewing you. Mine was really friendly whereas a friend of mine was the opposite.
I see but can you recall exactly how many questions were asked during the interview? You mentioned that you turned the tables by asking the interviewer questions but did you managed to answer those two questions or they totally forgot and skip those two questions? since they spent like 10 mins sharing their experiences.
Also mate its 2 interviewers and not more than that? If 2 I wont be that nervous as oppossed to 3-5 panel like interviewers.
Essay is just to see your english proficiency. No right or wrong answers.
I did answer them because my dad, brother and 3 of my best friends are also on the force. So it helps.
I dont know if they will still consider if you do badly for test but did well for interview. Because no one except the assessor will know of the results any way
You need to relax and not worry too much bro. If you are suitable, they will select you.
Thanks for the advice!:) but the interviewers only 2 and not 4? Also lastly can give me tips on how to answer "What you know about the jobscope of a police officer"? Cos im quite puzzled here in which they are referring to, police officer as in JPO or SPO?
Oh and btw mate, you forgot to answer the number of questions that were asked during the interview:)
You are applying for JPO position so obviously they will ask you questions that related to that position
Whether it's 2 or 3 or 4 panels it doesnt really matter. It's not within your means to decide the numbers. Just give your best shot.
I dont think any of us keep track a number of question thats being asked. Thats not how interview works. They'll ask 1 question and it's a 2 way conversation. When you are done with your answer, they'll ask another. Probably until they've decided whether you are suitable or not.
Btw the typical answer they get during interview is 'im passionate about joining the force.'. So if you really have passion about being in the force, convinced them in how and in what way you are passionate.
Good luck
If I reply this way, "The reason why I wanted to sign on with SPF is bcos I do hve passion for it as I find the job is quite challenging and I am alo motivated and inspired by my dad to join SPF as he himself is part of the Volunteer Special Constabulary. If I am selected, I will wear my uniform with pride to serve my country and contribute to the society. Is it convincing enough?
Another thing is, usually they will ask for what are your 2 strengths n weaknesses or just 1 strength and weakness?

Dont know bro. Even if you impressed me with the answer, ultimately im not the panel interviewers. Honestly in my opinion your answers sound too politically correct. But again, it might work for you because i dont know what kind of answers the interviewers are specifically looking for.

Bro, like I mentioned, I can totally understand your anxiety, not knowing what to expect. Hahaha but you really need to calm your horses bro. I really believe if you sincere enough with your answers, you'll be just fine. You wouldn't wanna go there 'over-prepared' expecting whatever everybody shares here to actually happen exactly in order. The last thing you wanna face is, emphasizing too much preparation on something, but on the day something else is thrown at you. So stay cool brotha!
Well said Johnnyaz!
