Job Application with MOE (non-teaching position)

what mistakes actually?

or is it a case of the hiring agency sitting on the application and didn't process?

how come MOE non-teaching position so hard to get even an interview opportunity?

Anyone can share some insights about the salary for administration manager in MOE Schools? TIA.

they big-small eye ah?

I got rejected. After interview, replying to annexes, a medical appt and a request to do a reference check with my current employer, I waited another three weeks before emailing HR to check in on my status. HR responded that they will get back to me in a week. However, few days later, i received an email to say I was unsuccessful. 6 months in total from the day I applied. Funny thing was, in one of their emails, I was also given an estimated salary and the proposed salary package. Thought it was only a matter of time before an official offer came but unfortunately it was mere wishful thinking on my part. For those who are still in the game, all the best!

Haha.. Yes, kena blindsided perhaps. Some friends told me it could be from the ref check but then again, my current workplace do support the growth of employees even if it is elsewhere. I guess when one door closes, another might open. Just need to open my eyes big big to find that door. Lol.

Regarding this, I think slim chance. They would have looked at all your experiences, qualifications and last drawn to determine your offer. So at the start, showhand whatever you have to HR. Cos at the end when I tried to, HR said it is fixed.

wah if it's via referee check, something pour sand into your bowl to screw it up or what knots which is like quite chek ark leh

assume u have truthfully declare the stuff in the application
gone to the latter stages of the hiring process only to be tio reject, either referee blow whistle for offside or the hiring budget/paper at MOE side tio freeze or what knots

i personally come across hiring side ask for my cert / transcript and stuff
haven't even reach / smell any interview chances

they jitao reject my app after i submit the documents

i was like in my mind: then in the 1st place why ask for my document/transcript/birth cert etc?
