See my reference to the ANO and search it for what it says about lung problems.

Of course, during the medical, if you forget to say that you had this condition, and it's not detected, then everything's cool.

For sure, if you get selected, your time at OBS will be physically demanding, there'll be lots of allergens and triggers, so if your asthma comes back, too bad, you're out.

Only you will be able to guess your chances of a relapse based on your experiences.

Thanks for the insight caz i tawt they might just write off someone based on history. btw, no relapse or inhaler for 11 years already.

Interview

Hi Perrierwlime and to all,

Congratulations on hearing that you made it through to the next round of the interview. You must've impressed the interviewers no doubt.

I was supposed to go for the interview on the same day as you did (28th February) but I could not make it. Probably will be rescheduled for the next one which I think is mid-March or something like that (TBC).

No amount of readings I have done can prepare me for the interview I guess. Just thinking about it makes me have jitters!

Any tips would be great. And... hope we do get to meet up in the future.

Hello Moccajava,
I don't know what tips I can give you. Anyway I think the pilots are more qualified to talk about giving tips. I am just someone going for second round. reading thru the whole thread sure helps. try to find some books to read too. online sources are also good.

It's unfortunate that you couldn't make it that day. I heard anything to disrupt the selection process will cause delay and the delay can be.... any length of time. Try to make it for the next interview.

Latest update. >>> There's a first interview on 9th March.

[moccajava]

...

Hi Perrier,

Thanks will do lot more reading then...

I've been following the thread and yes the delay can be pretty long...

The 9th would be super as it's my off day! Guess will have to wait...

Hello kenny008! You must be pretty excited when you got that email! I got it 2 weeks ago so I still can remember the feeling. Congratulations dude.
About the confirm your attendance thingy, your concern was mine too. But we all know from this forum is that never never disturb the HR people unless really really necessary. My suggestion, which is what I did, is to bring a hardcopy of the email you sent with you on that day. Just as a backup. Anyway mine went smoothly, my pc of paper wasn't needed at all so I think you can rest assured. Nevertheless, an additional piece of paper won't cost you too much effort to bring.
Remember to wear to wear a tie. Maybe this piece of advice is uncalled for but someone did not wear a tie. The interviewers wear ties so make sure you do.
Get all the papers, original and copies ready. You'll surrender your IC/passport at the pass office so you can't prove your identity thereafter. That's why they asked you to bring your birth cert. So make sure you do. Whatever copies you bring make sure you bring the original. Yes, they'll ask for it.
Last but not least, my self formulated golden words for any interviews >>
Don't brag, don't beg.
Be honest, be truthful. Smile, greet, etc. Standard stuff.

All the best dude. I wonder whether they'll squeeze me and/or you for batch 119 commencing 24th March.

Hmm.. Last time, I was instructed to reply to this email (1st interview notification) only if I am unable to attend. You sure you read the email thoroughly? Or maybe things have changed. Anyway, don't think you'll get any "receipt" from them. Just turn up on the scheduled day on time with all the required documents, in particular the report of your visual acuity and colour vision tests. This is important.

All the best!
