she mentioned 1 - 2 weeks fr psych test. there after another round.

Anyone received any news?

Not yet.. had the last interview like mid August

Hope good news this week.

or this week

CPIO opened yesterday
 

Seems like application for CPIO opened again yesterday. Anyone knows how long the whole process will take/if successful, when is the start

Still no news?

just applied. fingers cross! looking back on the previous pages, seems like the wait could be up to 1 month for the status to be updated

Must have experience to join? Are they willing to take in fresh grad or mid career jump applications?

Does anyone know how frequent is their recruitment exercise? By the time i saw it's already over lol. Is there any fixed dates/months?
(I.e. every Sept or so)

Cpio
 

Any calls so far?

nope, still submitted for me

Still submitted for me too

Received their call last fri for some engagement session + some test next tue, but have yet to receive any email. By the way, the status on career@gov was shown "submitted"

I received a call last friday as well. Yet to receive any emails tho.

Need block leave for next tues. hahahaha

sians, if no receive any calls means gone case liao?

Didn’t receive calls too. When did you guys submitted. I’ve submitted mine on the 14 Sep. Been more than a month.

I submitted arnd 18 Sep so far no calls

I submitted mine near closing date. Actually i didnt expect to get a call up because i read through the threads indicating that it is more for fresh grad rather than mid career.

May I ask when did you receive the call?

Last fri...18 oct..

Whch means I have no chance already. By the way, yours a local degree?

Nope, my degree and masters from UK.

You’re lucky then! Maybe you’re like their TOP choice.
I shall opt for plan B den. Continue working in my current job hahaaaa.
Seems like hopes are Low.

Mine also from UK but only degree. No masters. Not much related experience either. Anyhow I wish you the best of luck and great success in your interview plus subsequent ones in securing the job.

Thanks the both of you above. Well, i have certain degree of investigation experiences but not on finanical fraud kind. I jus roughly read through the threads and felt skeptical because many commented that it was more suitable for fresh grad than someone with a few years of working experiences.

No worries cos training will be included. Do your best in the interview!:) May be what you can offer coincides with their criterion. At least you are lined up for the battle but we don't even smell it.

Ganbatte! I’ll try CAD if I fail this and spam them again. Hahaaaaa. All the best!!

Hi. Anyone out there got further phone call (after the Oct 18 call-up)?

Cpio
 

No bro. Status still shows submitted.

Same here. Let's see if we still stand a chance after today's interview for the 1st group. Good luck!

Tea session
 

Can anyone care to share how was the tea session today?

Engagement session was really a short one like 30-45mins? The day was mainly essay test and psychometric tests. Out of more than 1000 applicants they shortlist 30+ people. The tests will further shortlist x number (depend on the required batch intake) for 2 more rounds of interviews. So I would say those who didn't receive any calls will have to apply at next opening.

Nevertheless, i do see similarities in their hiring. They seems to prefer people with experiences in compliances and audits work in banks / accounting firms / other sectors. They do have law people and other backgrounds like computer forensics. Overheard that they only once in a while take in fresh graduates. From my observations, working experiences from their "preferred" field can be as little as 1.5years. For the mid careers, mostly are more than 7 years? I suppose.

The good thing i like is their emphasis on teamwork. Hence, personality is also an area they will lookout. If you are those who will siam work and not so keen in taking the initiative to volunteer to help your colleagues, then this job is not suitable for you. I understand their stringent selections criteria because they want to make sure they got the right personality to be on board as during operation works (which can span across a full 24hrs) are tiring for those involved. Also, they want to see your level of interpretation of statements and phases as most usually can have different understanding.

How many applicants are they taking in this year?

Hope faded. Got the "Unsuccessful" this afternoon:(

did you get the unsuccessful after going for the tea session? If you didn't get called to the tea session, its unsuccessful already.

Any updates?

waiting for 3rd round now
 

Went 2nd round last week with a panel of interviewers. Hearsay, they are looking to start the course by Jan 2020 so, everything is expedited as compared to the past.

Wow. Jan 2020 is just 2 months away! Pls update if u get the next call!

sounds interesting.

what is the difference between 3rd round and second round? 3rd round more big shots?
