Daddy

Correct me if I'm wrong for those PVs who got rejected/selected... with confirmed cases to proof lah... based on work experience.


Value-added advantage (Selected)
- With Accounting background

No value-added advantage (Rejected)
- With Teaching background
- With IT background

Of cos' there are other factors... list is not inclusive.
Maybe others can input/add

hmm.. for me I have no accounting background and seriously im not sure why I got chosen either coz when I went for the interview, I thought I have already lost half the battle there as I was alone (mostly both spouses attended the interview) and my interview was a real short one.. I was barely inside for 5mins and during the 5mins process, all they told me was that if Im aware that only 50 will get chosen and as of that day I went for the interview the # of applicants is close to 300 already :roll:

Last time, saw this parent wear his Navy officer uniform for the PV interview... dunno in the end he got selected a not?

Sigh…so stressful.


Just got to know from a friend whom did not do any pv and went for the P1 registration for his son, choosen a school that was ok, not the ones on the hot seat. It was disastrous and only managed to get a school for his son in Phase 2C supp in a school totally not his choice but at that stage, there’s really nothing he could do.

Another friend of mine, no PV, stayed more than 2 km from Nan Hua, went straight to Phase 2C to apply knowing he will get balloted, and guess what! he confirmed a seat for his daughter.

So I guess, it’s really a matter of luck, even for pv applications.
Maybe should just leave it to the hands of God…
