The Director of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Support Services of HNGV, Vidal de Jesus Lopes, said the written test is being held according to the organized calendar, to assess candidates’ knowledge before advancing to the next phase.
“Right now we are giving the written test for the second phase to 4,706 applicants, starting from today, 26th, until the 5th of November this year,” said Vidal de Jesus to journalists at the Civil Service Commission, Matadouro, Dili, Monday (26/10).
He explained that, of the 8,084 applicants who registered for the special regime recruitment process, 4,706 applicants were approved to take the written test in the second phase.
Vidal also talked about complaints that some candidates submitted after seeing the result of initial selection. He affirmed that candidates have the right to submit a complaint, according to the procedure and deadline established.
He said that, in this complaint period, 1,744 candidates submitted complaints. The jury team verified documents, including candidate names that appeared twice in the list, names that did not appear in the system, and original diplomas whose copy has the same color as the original document.
According to Vidal, after verification, more than 60 candidates got the opportunity to advance to the second phase, according to the result of document evaluation and verification process carried out.
He also explained the minimum score to pass the written test is 60. Candidates who get 59 points or less do not pass to the next stage.
“When this test ends, the jury team will sit together to determine candidates who can advance to the third phase, which is interview,” he explained.
In the same place, applicant Aguida Pereira de Araújo said she felt happy with the result of the written test she got, although there were some subjects she considered difficult. Aguida got 62 points, which is above the minimum score to pass to the next phase.
Aguida explained that during preparation, she studied mostly general subjects, but specific subjects about information and service in the hospital came up more in the written test.
“I feel happy with the result I got in this written test. During preparation, I studied general subjects, but specific subjects came up more, especially about service in the hospital and care for patients, including pediatrics,” said Aguida Pereira de Araújo.
She added that some questions included knowledge about how to measure children’s breathing frequency and how to give care to children.
Although specific subjects came up more than she expected, Aguida managed to get 62 points and considered the result as a result of individual effort and preparation.
“I think this test depends on each one’s effort and preparation. If we prepare well, we can answer questions well. I got 62 points and am grateful for the result,” she said.
Meanwhile, applicant Adriano Olomau said he felt sad because he did not pass the written test, after getting 46 points, which is less than the minimum 60 points.
“I feel sad because I did not pass the written test. I got 46 points, which is less than the minimum 60 points. Even so, I accept the result and consider that candidates must accept the result according to the points they got,” said Adriano Olomau.
Adriano also affirmed that, according to his observation, the test process was fair, because candidates can see their results after finishing the test. He considered that candidates must compete according to their capacity and preparation.
“I think the result depends on each of us. If we prepare well, we can get a good result. If not prepared, we have to accept the result we get,” he said.
Adriano affirmed that, although he did not pass this written test, he will continue to prepare to participate in other recruitment opportunities in the future.
The written test has a duration of two hours. Candidates who finish early can leave early, while other candidates can continue to do and review their answers until the test time ends.
