when did you apply and when did you get the email holy?sadly,lots of us are still waiting.haha.welcome to the thread tho!

edwin2911 16th Mar 2010 06:01

hey guys,

Just got a reply from SQ, my 1st Interview didn't pass. :sad:

Quite sad though, thought my questions were answered fairly well...i guess it could be the following reasons that i got flunked:

1) myopia ard 400+
2) got only diploma though finishing my deg this may
3) general knowledge and aviation knowledge not good enough
4) all of the above + there are more candidates better than me

Having all said, i didn't regret going for the interview as there was indeed a chance to change my life and i go for it but failed. But like what i've said in my earlier post, if i were to be rejected, i will rather be at the very first stage...at least wouldn't have wasted more time/effort.

Hereby, i wish all of you bros, good luck and hope that you all can achieve your dreams.

Godspeed and Take Care

Edwin

Just got the email confirmation to say I'm out.

I'll set a timer on MS Outlook to remind me to apply again in a couple months' time, I guess!

All the best to the other folks!

Thanks Autobrake for the clarification. Anyway i have heard many people talk about re-applying sometime later after their initial application failed. May i ask under what circumstances can one re-apply for that coveted position on the RHS?

Macarto 16th Mar 2010 06:26

Well articulated LifeGPS, do not let lose hope.

h0lym0use 16th Mar 2010 06:56

Thanks bogusrif! I applied in late jan and only last wk did i get the email for 1st interview. how about u?

bogusrif 16th Mar 2010 07:37

haha.oh dear.i applied on the 19th of feb.this might turn out to be a long wait for me.lol.

h0lym0use 16th Mar 2010 07:55

Don't worry bogusrif, there are people who applied later than me and gotten their interview before me. Take it as an advantage to you for you have extra time to prepare for the interview. :)

bogusrif 16th Mar 2010 08:26

hahaha.i like your positivity.I'm good.but this wait after uni graduation is a real bore.

tinybrain,
passing everything damn thing except the medical is damn gosh.
but try passing everything including the medical but not selected in the end.

Macarto 16th Mar 2010 10:07

Sgcloudchaser, are you referring to the Rsaf or SIA? Cause according to TinyBrain's Post, he got enrolled in SIA after his medical.

TinyBrain 16th Mar 2010 13:00

@macarto

I think sgcloudchaser is referring to some of them who already cleared the interviews and medical but never received the contract.

I know of someone in this forum who gotten this shxxt.. Hence, he kept asking around for contacts in the HR such as Joyxx or Edxxxx. The last I PM-ed with him, he was still hanging loose somewhere, around 6 months since his medical. Oh yah, he called up the medical centre and was told he cleared. :oh:

Requirements.
 
Hi guys,

previously i did mention that i failed my second i.view.

Maybe some of you are wondering about why u failed.

Well what i can tell you all for sure is
They are not looking for rocket scientists.
No need straights As etc.
I am a living example. I only have A levels
but was selected for 2nd round.

What they are looking for is really
1) passion and how you show it
2) your image- i guess, how you present yourself; confidence, analytical skills, situational awareness.
3) leadership- this is whr i scored well i guess. good past records of activites.
4) flying experience doesnt give you an edge also; you cld be a ppl or cpl holder, but if u were a member of the library club in school, i don't think they'd be impressed,

So answering the technical questions well doesnt really give u an edge or otherwise really. Coz i only had 1 technical questions and couldnt answer.

But really most importantly, how your present yourself and on the first look and few sentence of the i.view they must feel that you can be a pilot and the i.viewing pilot should want to fly with you. put yourself in their shoes and you will see wad they want.

2ndly,
i spoke to ed**** during my second i.view and confirmed with him that once you are called for medical. SIA has already accepted you.
Delays to confirmation can be due to several issues.

Underlying medical issues that, CAAS accepts but not SIA (not sure what these are.).
Security issues (just like how SAF posts ppl to the different units if you guys realise).
Employment and bond issues.
Course availability.
So i guess if there is no rejection then the chances of getting in is still very high. remember, SIA hires when they see the need to. I guess when they tell you that don't take it for granted that you are in the medical, they mean it that way.

but i do agree that keeping people waiting is really a sucky thingy. hopefully things will pick up soon.

all the best to you guys.

bogusrif 17th Mar 2010 03:36

thx for that DL.Hope you don't stop your dreams of getting into SIA too man.Just go at it again.Cheers!

sgcloudchaser 17th Mar 2010 17:40

Hi DLWL, thanks for sharing the info.
Just that I am not too sure if you are right to say that SIA has already accepted you if you are called for medical. Usually Wed is the 2nd round, and Thur call you up for medical on Friday. Within less than a day they could not have time to decide to offer which applicant. In theory they may have accepted you but they have not offered you a contract.
