Possible Questions for Ad Hoc Interview,.
1. Tell me about yourself.
Good afternoon, ma’am/sir. I am Cedric D. Icaro, 25 years old, residing in
Caloocan City. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Criminology from
the University of Caloocan City.
During my college years, I used to serenade in pageants and join singing
contests, which helped me build confidence. I am currently working as a
motor taxi driver while waiting for this opportunity.
I aspire to become a police officer because I deeply admire my relatives who
are in the police service. Their courage, discipline, and dedication to
protecting others inspire me to follow in their footsteps and serve our
community.
I am a disciplined, honest, and determined individual who is ready to give my
best in serving the people. "I fully understand the responsibilities and am
committed to performing the duties of a police officer with integrity and
dedication."
Lastly, thank you very much for this opportunity, ma’am/sir. If I am given the
chance to serve, I assure you that your trust will never be wasted.
2. Why do you want to join PNP?
I want to become a police officer because it’s both a meaningful and
practical path for me. I grew up seeing my relatives in the service, and I’ve
always admired their courage and discipline and sense of responsibility that
comes with the uniform. In addition, I also know that the PNP provides stable
income and benefits, and for me, that means I can support my family while
doing something with purpose. Lastly, we all know that the crime rate here in
the Philippines is so high. If I were given a chance to become a police officer,
I would apprehend every criminal in every city that I am assigned to, and I
would also sacrifice my life to ensure public safety and to help reduce the
criminality in our society.
