I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Health Sciences Authority (Outram Park, ) in May 2024
Interview
A panel of 4 interviewers, 1 HR and 3 Senior Forensic Scientists. Lasted about 45-60 minutes. Quite a few technical questions, but mostly questions on previous experiences and employment. Each interviewer took turns to ask questions. Technical questions were the tougher ones as I had forgotten some aspects of analytical techniques.

The interview process consisted of two rounds with different panels. They asked about my motivation for becoming a forensic scientist. There was also a written assignment and a case-based question to evaluate problem-solving and analytical skills.
