Hate these hiring managers who take ages to approve... How hard can it be? Sure it's clicking juz a sign off button in the system

my mindset here

1st week listing many job applications onto careers@gov portal
2nd - 4th week waiting for applications to flow in
5th week shortlisting of candidates/ another round of listing many job applications
6th week conducting interview
7th week background checks
8th week offering.

8th week will be the crucial. If nv hear the news by this week, they forgotten you as they will start shortlisting another batch of candidates.

I got one interesting experience. Not from govt but from a info company called Bloomberg. they called me up for 1st round of interview. Then one month later, they called me up for 1st round of interview for that same position. Sound similar? i think the HR system gone haywire. Imagine small HR recruitment team in each agency need handle hundreds or thousands of applications.
