Which department called you for the chit chat MoonRider, if you don't mind sharing? I've been called twice for chit chat (diff departments), failed one and the other one said need to wait for SI. That's why I'm wondering how long/often do SIs get conducted 

From reading the thread posts, it looks like that its going to take sometime, so I guess patience is the key for us now 

It depends on the PIC style. like mine, she mentioned that she will email those recommended about 2 weeks after the session. otherwise, she will send out the opposite later afterwards. but hey, just wait. u'll never know.

TA/SI assessors are not HR people - they r normally senior technical staffs. so, they are actually struggling to set a time for this extra responsibility.

good luck!

Mine wasn't a TA, it was a chit Chat Session.

My assessors (2 of them) were senior people, one was the HOD. After 2 weeks, the HOD emailed me saying that I did not make the cut.

Typically TAs are arranged by HR ( to my understanding ) and they should be contacting you. If you do have the HR contact, drop them an email. Be very nice bout it as they have hundreds of candidates to go through and they may slip here and there

Just my two cents on the matter. When I started out as a fresh grad, I applied for jobs and attended as many interviews as possible. Reason being that I wanted to land a job quickly. I got turned down for most of them but made a few cuts, which gave me levarage of choosing the best option.

Waiting would have meant that I would have lost the option to choose. My suggestion is to keep seeking other opportunities while following up on the result of this TA.

All the best to you!
