DSTA (under Mindef)

Yes, friends and myself received the offer on our 8th day too. Interviewees are categorised into 3 groups. People they want, people they KIV and people they outright reject. People who take a long time to received acceptance are on the KIV list, however, if you aren't rejected, there is still hope.

Its been exactly 2 weeks since my interview at DSTA for the position of procurement executive. They sent me an email requesting me to complete the G50 form the very next day. Haven't heard from them since, is it likely that I have been rejected?

No news yet. Even if there is, i doubt the HR will call to inform of the adjustment.

Hi guys, to those who got shortlisted for interview, how long did you wait after you submitted the application on career@gov before you received the call for interview?

well it's up to u to believe...i was from dsta and i knew so many of those engineers/project managers who got stuck and cant move out despite wanting to

most of their skillsets are not transferable,especially those in mindef projects and mainly doing project management. not even the real hardcore enginnering

if you dun want to be still an enginner in your late 30s/40s, best to reconsider

I think u cui leh. I knew a lot of Engineers jump to mha and other ministries. And who Wants to be Engineer all the way, definitely is some management role. JUst becoz u cannot make it, don't put bad name on it. If u Wan to learn hardcore engineering, I suggest u go SME
