Final Parting.
Hi Guys,
I didnt manage to get through.
Thanks for all the support and encouragements. The reason i didnt get through only SIA knows, but i also have some idea. There were some personal questions about me which i found difficult to answer. Problem is I didnt know to answer directly or not. Which i guess was my downfall. Shld've faced it head on instead of trying to find a politically correct answer. Pardon me but its not something i wish to discuss.
Just some words of encouragement to you guys
1) The HR from SIA mentioned that everyweek there will be a 1st interview. so monitor the website and apply as much as u can. Remember not to say the wrong things. For the first interview be honest, sincere and show ur leadership potential with ur historical backgrd etc. From my batch, the first few ppl who got i/viewed got in, not the norm but the other guys were also quite up there. So it really depends on how much u show them u want it.
THE RESULTS FOR THE I/VIEW WILL BE RELEASE 1-7 DAYS after the first I/VIEW. So there is no second guessing there.
2) For the computer aptitude test, there is a post in this thread that is detailed in telling u guys what to do. read up but dun mind it too much really. Just keep a clear mind, rest well. It really isnt too difficult.
3) For the second interview, I must say, the CPTs do have an idea of what they want already. Some1 from my batch with flight experience and knowledge didnt get in either. I guess it really boils down to.
a)attitude
b)i/view skills
c)looking sharp- well just give them the u look reliable look (dunnoe how to describe really)
d)good analytical skills - if u dunnoe, say dunnoe. but if u are guessing, just let them know and tell them how u got to the answer.
e) it really doesn't matter too much if u got the answers wrong, they are mostly just having fun putting u in the spot and seeing how u react.
f) just be calm and confident. BUT NOT COCKY pls.
The results for the 2nd I/view will be released immediately the next day.
So no second guessing there either. Sorry i cant be more specific about the process, coz honestly, its better to go there prepared for anything, rather than try to be prepared for everything- which u cant.
P.S: FOR Medical: though i couldnt go through the process. I AM suffering from a Blood disorder Called Thalassaemia. I saw some threads about this and found out that there is a guy in SIA now on course with the same disorder. However, our Hb level is normal at 13.5 above.
So those guys with this disorder, don't be dishearted if airforce say u cant be a pilot, SIA will still take you provided u clear the I/views. =)
If your Hb level is below 13. Suggest u take folic acid supplements. IT works =)
Alright, I have been told by the HR that they usally don't take in people who failed the final round. I feel that my chances are at most 10% as the i/viewers would have recorded a bad comment on my records. So likely, there is no more chance for me. I hope what i say here can help u guys and please keep faith. Keep trying. All the best
I will continue to realise my dream in other ways.

I also understand that there will be a new hurdle for you to clear - it'll be implemented shortly (though this word is rather subjective seeing how big organizations react a little slower to new initiatives). And it'll cost a pretty penny to prepare for it.
I walked the same path you guys did over 2 years ago - 1st round, psycho-motor, 2nd round, tea party, followed by medicals and the all-desirable contract offer. A little blue bird in the loop kindly informed me earlier this week that selected applicants who make it through all these will have to go for air grading on a C172. I've been led to believe that this will be prior to the contract offer although I could be wrong (the existing system is to sign a contract, get shipped off to OBS, then fly the C152 for a couple of hours).
Perhaps one of the courses studying at Seletar reading this thread might be able to shed more light.
The only feasible way I can think of to prepare for this is to invest in Flight Sim and a control column, force feedback optional. It's costly but if you're throwing all your chips on the table then now's the moment.

hey DLWL... hold your head up high to know you did your best... and made it thru to the 2nd round even.
my session was ok... grilled me left, right, centre bcoz im a mature applicant with few years of worklife... so those with the same criteria be ready for it haha.
funnily no questions on aviation for me... is that a bad sign?
PS:
They let you go through the C172 like as in practical hands-on before offering the contract? Wow... it gets tougher...

@sgcloudchaser: You wouldn't be rejected RIGHT AWAY... but for formality's sake... I would suggest you put it in. At least give the interviewers something to read about you before you enter the interview room.

C97 batch
Hi,
Anyone here can help me get in touch with someone from this batch? It's an old childhood friend and I saw him on the editorial page of SFC newsletter. It's dated 2005 so I would suppose he would have been flying around in SQ for nearly 4 years already
Any help appreciated

Hi guys,
anyone of you have gotten any replies from SIA with regards to your 1st interview? I've been scheduled for my 1st interview on 12th March (applied on the 18th Feb). Will technical questions be asked during the 1st round of interview?
FYI guys, i didn't attached any cover letter.
Regards
