It might be revoked if you have a serious infectious disease that you did not declare beforehand.

I submitted an application to a stat board in earlier this year and was called for an interview two months later. I was told to wait 2-3 weeks for the outcome of the interview. In this, I was specifically told that I would be informed by HR of both positive and negative outcomes.

The 3 week mark has long passed (by around a month). In this case, am I correct to assume that I have not been successful in my application and that I should not expect to hear from the stat board any more, regardless of what I have been told? Have called several times, only to be told to wait a bit more.

Also, is the hiring process a bit different for fresh graduates (I am one)?

you're likely the spare tyre kind of candidate (they'll only hire you if their first choice backs out at the last min.) thus explaining the long wait.

Just to share.

I'm a diploma holder previously from a ministry but left to work on a start up company but met some financial difficulty so i have decided to let my partner run the business while I return and re-applied for a job back in the statboard.

Went for interview on the 2nd of april. On the day itself 2 hr before interview they call me to change the timing asking me to come earlier. Quite unprofessional but I rush down anyway as I had apply for half day leave.

During the interview on salary dicussion I stated my asking salary as 2.7k as I know from friends working in stat board HR that fresh dip are getting 1800 and dip holder with exp range 2200-2500. The head interviewer say they should be able to match and the HR rep agreed.


16th april HR email me saying I was found suitable by the panel and to wait for approval and administrative matter in a few weeks.They ask me when I could start and I said 16th may as I needed to hand over my work and HR even ask me if I could leave earlier.

I stood by the date anyway and ask if that meant i had secure the job and was offered the salary. She said no, still need approval.

1st of may, I email them to follow up and still no news, told to wait.

18th of may, HR sms me to ask if i am still available and apologized for the delay and ask me for some documentations again(I had submitted all documents on 2nd april)

Fast forward to 3rd of June. They finally gave me an offer via email but its only $2290 and said its according to a salary guideline.


Other interviews I went to their HR rep were pretty upfront regarding their offered salary. I have no idea why stat board HR rep did not highlight the salary when it should be a fix range.

During the long wait I had rejected 2 offers with slightly higher salary as I thought the stat board offer was a better deal.

Now that the offer is out in black and white I should have went with the other job offer.

Overall. Pretty bad experience. Not sure its the same for graduate though.

Does anyone know if the LTA will consistently update the application status on their jobstreet portal? Mine has changed from processed to prescreened after they called me for an interview, but it has been stuck at prescreened for >1 month since.

Thanks for replying. Are my chances even poorer given that the job has been posted again and again as I have been waiting? Quite tired of waiting and am keen to move on, but concerned that they may come back to me when its too late.

If the hiring stat board really wants to hire you, you will know the result within a few days.
It happen to my case. Friday interview, following Monday HR called to inform me on their intention to hire me but was pending paperwork completion.
