It's so competitive out there that even when they say 'any degree' and 'open to fresh grads' they'll usually hire those with relevant internships and/or the plethora of biz/psychology grads.
hey there, nope. i just graduated from nus (2nd upper) in dec! i've been shortlisted for interviews with 2 stat boards so far and have gone for mindef's psychometric test too but have yet to hear back..

i think someone in this forum mentioned that the govt sector does not offer "real" specialized roles like c&b, l&d etc (please correct me if i'm wrong) so i'm contemplating whether i should even take the civil service route. sigh.
