As for the HR PSD job, I suggest you not waste your time if you do not have a FC honors + Deans list in a local university. Such PSD jobs are future training grounds in the public sector to select candidates for mid-career AO (i.e. scholar elite) program. If your academics is average or above average, totally no chance of taking a shot. This is open secret within civil service.

I wanted to assess if my character was suitable for those HR roles as I'm not the aggressive or competitive type. If the role requires it, I wouldn't be able to succeed in such a role then.
Hmmm.... saying if one is able to get into HR PSD. As a non-scholar, the opportunities are very limited and one has not much career progression while all the scholars move ahead. Would it then be possible to move to outside HR specialist roles after a few years of experience? Would the experience in PSD be relevant to an outside HR specialist role? Or it is more of policymaking and thus not-so-relevant?
Thanks for the response!
