About 2 weeks already.

I'm just curious how does DSTA shortlist candidates for interviews?

Is HR the one who looks at resumes and shortlists for interviews?
Or HR sends the resume to the director, and the director decide whether to give you an interview?


Also, what are the chances of getting an offer after the interview?

Thank you in advance

If you have friends working inside, ask them to help send your resume straight to management. Heard it's much faster this way bypassing HR screening

Getting into the good books of bosses is human nature lah, happens everywhere. Actually, in this aspect, garment job is better than pte companies since the bosses, especially the high flying ones gets rotated across govt. So nothing is forever and always got chance to start afresh. Pte companies, if the bosses don't like u, gone case liao

If carry balls and carry eggs is your strength and bosses having their balls and
eggs being carried is their weakness,then,you have clear advantage.
