It will be the cliche answer.. if your performance is good, we will convert you to perm. we might even consider offering you the perm position earlier...

nowadays, a lot of govt jobs are on contractual basis.. with the opportunity to be perm after 1-2 years.. make your bosses like you within that period, else after one year, if you realise that you are not going anywhere... start updating your cv again...

Dead end jobs in a tiny local outfit. The only good thing is the office is very near TP MRT in CBD.

ACRA is a tiny stat board that does corporate filing, compliance and regulation paperwork. What career progression do you expect?

Hmm.. please pardon me. I need advise too. What is the job culture in acra? I had previously bad experiences working in govt sector. Too much politics even though I was low profile and people can still manage to sabo my low low prosition

I got an offer but I don't want to end up wasting another 2 years. I know that it is stable. I am not afraid of workload, more afraid of the culture and people there. Anyone can advise? Thanks in advance.

Sorry I side track..what about PMO and PSD experiences? Thanks!

I've got 3 ex-colleagues who are working there. Seems like the workload is quite hectic.

In general govt sector farmer politics is considered very docile and low level taichi tactics.

If you are finding politics in govt sector too hard, it might be that your character not suitable for work that involves many interactions with stakeholders in the organization.

You should look out for jobs that are highly individual and independent in nature. Culture is more dependent on the type of work, not the letterhead on your employment contract.

Plus point : Near Tanjong Pagar MRT, accessible food eateries. Knock off mostly on time. Good harmonious place to "watch the sun go down".
