1) May I know how long the whole recruitment process is, assuming a successful interview?
2) I see from previous posts, there's a verbal offer and then something called a G50. From what I've read, I can take those as indications of a higher likelihood of entry also? The posts seem to have 2 differing takes, hence my qn.
3) What is the average pay? I'm 2nd upper, political science grad if this matters. Around 4.5 I hope?
4) What is the culture like in the DIS? Is it still very regimental and difficult bosses? My bf tells me that most officers are aloof and think they are know-alls, with only a few exceptions LOL. But then again, my brother says HQ people tend to be nicer. So, what's it like?
Thanks in advance !! |
if the ministry or SB find u fit the bill and would like proceed with the application,
will most likely give u the G50 form to fill in the full details so that they could do the background checks (this will also involve checking with your listed character references)
--> depending on the nature of your future work and the hiring Ministry/SB (eg those that need to deal sensitive / confidential info like
MINDEF, ELD, or most of the ministry HQ level), g50 screening can take about 1-2 months on average.
if u clear the G50 screening, likely they will then give u a ball-park offer.
if things are fine, they will then need to seek onward approval from management (submission to go up to PS clearance level) before they can then formally offer
however until the formal offer is in sight, nothing is for certain.
provisional offer can still happen at the latter stages --> i have been thrgh that painful retraction whilst applying to another strict stat board
