Hi all,

I read the threads from 1 year back to get a feel of what it is like applying in gov sector as this is my first time. Currently working in pte sector with almost 15 YOE.

I applied for an SB under MCCY.
Cleared 2 rounds of interviews (in Sept & Oct - about 2 weeks apart)
Currently received a verbal offer 2 days ago from HR. Asked her if can give an email offer but she says not possible as currently although I am already selected, there is still a process that is needed to clear approval from other external agencies.
She also mentioned there are some cases where these approvals take so long (6months-1 year), that they had to drop the candidate.

Asked her how long she would expect to process my approval & that maybe can get it by mid or end Nov.

Now I am anxiously waiting coz I really would like to join this SB, also I have been keen to join gov sector for a long time.

Anyone else had an experience where your offer is pending approval from external agencies?

TIA!!
