who is paying you to spam forums, may i ask?

in general, i heard the public service working culture is okay. confirm less politics than private sector. not everyone will go back at 530 or 6pm though.

I went for interview at SLA 2 weeks ago. HR commented that they are in need of people. They just reposted their vacancies again on careers@gov. Anyway, the interview will be an essay question done on a windows 98/95 laptop (what the heck...) followed by interview with 7 deputy directors or head of dept. Be prepared to consider the different vacancies available besides the one you applied for. I got rejected though... haha.

this statement is just so wrong. and you confirm this based on what?

seems like from your other thread you are either a fresh grad or someone who has only worked at a very junior level...

in some public sector organizations, the politics can be quite bad because the people are simply too free.

in private sector, people are busy meeting deadlines and only play the blame game when things go wrong, otherwise they may even collaborate to reach win-win objectives.

finally got ppl answer to the question liao. Seems like it's not easy to get in despite them in need of ppl and can still be choosy at the same time. Anw jiayou in your jobsearch!

The rest who only know how to kpkb, wait till you all need ppls's advice and others kpkb back. Then u all know what's karma!

what essay question they ask? can reveal the question so that we can prepare in advance?

yea u got an answer from someone who make some generic statement base on hearsay, as useless as kbkb post

in case u missed out, he/she did mention that he/she went for an interview at SLA 2 weeks ago.

seems like u not only kpkb, angmo also not very the powderful wor

in case u missed out, all he said abt SLA was they needed people.

the rest is a generic statement about public sector culture is OK, less politics, not everyone can go back on time
