Then they might decide to drop you for another one on their shortlist.

Early Feb 2024 (before CNY)- did a writing test
Mid Feb 2024 (after CNY)- meet with another hiring manager (same department tho) for an informal interview.
Early March 2024- HR contacted me to submit G50. No verbal offer, but hiring manager said formal offer will be made once cleared the G50.

Fresh grad, female, and first time applying for gov sector job. I am honestly not sure how everything works etc. But yea, was a bit taken aback by the long wait for clearance (although my hiring manager mentioned will take about 1-2 months).
I did checked-in with HR about updates one week ago and she mentioned currently pending updates from department & her colleague will get back to me again. Hopefully she will contact soon again (before me chasing her for an update in 2 weeks time haha).

Keep me updated!
Just to share right… usually in gov hiring process the waiting time can get quite long. I have about 7 years of experience in civil service. My current role also needs high security clearance and for that, i remembered waiting 1 month for my G50 to clear.
Its just that even by Gov standards, the hiring timeline for Mindef is opaque and very long.

Security vetting seems strange. In my current role at another Ministry, I am quite highly cleared but there was no security vetting when I applied. I guess MINDEF doesnt take risks with national security and rightfully so haha
I hope it isnt a long wait for it.
