Hi Icy_water - maybe you can comment on the working hours? Are there frequent OT?

Isit hard to get in? Normally whats the criteria like?

Is this still alive? Just want to know, I left IRAS within a year due to family commitments. Will I be given a 2nd chance if I reapply back? My work performance was good while I was there and both my manager and AM tried to persuade me to stay and be a temp part time staff but I had to leave back then.

Do you still have your manager or AM's contact no? Maybe you can get them to help you get in by referral?

That's something I didn't think of. Thanks.
Do you think through friends referral would be fine as well? I am still in touch with some of my colleagues there. I don't wish to trouble my M and AM.

Get i get your referral for me to have a chance to enter? PLEASE.... appreciate if u would email me at s10074482 @ gmail THANKS.

Is this post still active as need some advice?

I will be working as a temp in IRAS this Dec under helpline after being jobless for some time. Firstly, how's the culture over there? Understand that for my role, casual dressing is fine as long as no slippers and shorts.

Secondly, will they be able to offer me a position from temp to perm if I perform well as I applied for a perm position with them via Careers@Gov but till now status still reflected as submitted. I sincerely am interested in working in a Civil Service or Stats Board environment.

Lastly, I heard that CS or SB prefer local grads or those top uni grads to fill in their positions?? My MBA and BBA are Aussie uni which I took part-time thru private education. Was told by their HR that for my temp job they categorise me under diploma holder.
