There were 3 interviewers, and 1 HR person taking notes. It was a live interview that lasted about 30 minutes. They asked 'why' questions to figure out why I wanted the job and what my interests were. They also asked questions to see if I had the skills needed for the role. Lastly, they asked if I had any questions for them.

The interviewers were quite late, about 45 mins to an hour past the scheduled time, and the interview itself was brief, only lasting 20-30 minutes. I noticed they seemed really fixed on specific skills or certifications for the role, even though I thought there could be some flexibility.

The whole interview process involves several stages. First, you'll need to complete a psychometric test and then write a short essay on a given question, typically concerning national policy. After passing this initial stage, you'll be invited for a second round: a group discussion with other candidates and two interviewers around a table, where you'll be encouraged to discuss topics relevant to Singapore. If successful, you'll proceed to a Personality Test, followed by a final Panel Interview.
