How long did they tell you to wait after the interview? My friend was told to wait for 2-4 weeks but only got called up after 2 months.

How long have you waited? I was called up for interview one month after the online application.

They say 8 weeks. Does it means I'm rejected? Even with a fch?

Hi I applied in late AUG. It's already 1 month though.

In that case maybe you are not even shortlisted for the interview. Could have something to do with your honours or degree type.

May I know what's the typical timeline that applicants will know the outcome of their interview and whether it's common practice for dsta to inform applicants that they are not successful? Thanks!

Hi, again. I'm the one that posted this. Surprised to see the volume of discussion on this. I'm not sure if they are not done with the first round of interview or that I'm already rejected. I was expecting government agencies to take a long time, but HR told us that we will be notified within 2 weeks after the first round. Thethe two weeks is almost up and sadly and I haven't heard from them. Hope they are still in the process of shortlisting, fingers crossed.

Yeah but interviews are continued throughout the weeks of our notice.

Someone how i feel that it's harder for us since our panel is the non-traditional 7 man panel.

Anyways, i'll mail them next week if i still do not get a notice.

Currently working in DSTA and I've posted the timeline for recruitment (my experience) more than thrice. Do take the time to scroll to previous pages if you're really concerned..?

Applied in April, got a call for interview in end June. Unless you've received some form of notification that you're rejected, anything is still possible. Patience is key. Don't jump to conclusions.

Would like to know from you also, were you asked to do any G50 clearance? Read that usually will ask to do one week after the interview but i don't have any notice to do it.
