Career switch to civil service job listed with #sgunited

[Sianbodoh]

Hi guys, I have been working in mnc as engineer for past 3 years and am looking to switch to civil service for better stability... (and also at the same time try out new things). Just wondering what are you opinions of applying for jobs that are under the #sgunited scheme?

#sgunited scheme are for roles with short term (0.5 to 2 year) contracts and likely not to be renewed unless you excel at the job and the hiring organisation requires the additional headcount for long term. Salaries for these schemes are likely to be depressed as well as they are for the unemployed.

Hi, yep the listing with the hashtag. Not the traineeship programme.
