Don't give up yet 😁 the wait is always long and demoralising. That time for my position they did a refresh in posting too during my long wait but I was still selected

Thought all docs submitted during PT? Therefore no need bring anything for interview.

I took my PT on 15 Aug, but still no news till now, didn’t receive the rejection email either. Can I just assume that I wasn’t selected and apply to other positions?

Maybe u are not one of the top choices, can try to email the hr and clarify.

Hi, I have received a call from HR to lower my expected salary and
gave me a figure lower than my current pay as the lower range. May I know if anyone here has successfully negotiated for a higher salary? I was told
About my work location and it’s very far from where I reside. Any idea if they can keep my
Profile in view if I passed the interview and inform me when same
Position opens up in other bases?

Nope long wait is a good thing here 😁 I submitted my application at July and I'm still in the process of getting recruited lol

Unregistered 16-10-2019 05:14 PM

Not sure about salary, but even if they keep your position open, your reporting manager may be different. unless it is a generic role that disperses to different camps?

if the reporting manager is different, likely that you would need to go for interviews again.

Contemplating if I should attend the interview since location isn’t ideal.

able to share the salary they quoted? and for which community? (HR, Logistics, Cyber etc.) since this is anon forum. hope you dont mind sharing. Just to get a sensing on current new entrants and see where i stand. yet.

i got offered 3.9k, 3-4 years ago. Male with NS. Local Uni with pass degree. and i heard they were low balling since last year. probably budget constrains. current salary is 5k+ without promotion. upper C grader.

Btw, regarding your qn, i got rejected for first interview and they called me to offer another position and got selected for interview after 1-2 weeks. so yes they do keep your profile if favourable.

Hi, thanks for sharing. So the average pay increase is like 200-300 per year?
What is the annual package for like upper C grader? 16 months?

add 200 after probation
add mid 200 every year (varies, criteria unknown)
upper C about 1.5 to 2.0 (yes, upper C still got range, normal C range is 1.25-1.5)

so for me

12 mths salary
13th mth 'salary'
mid year about 0.5
end year about 1.0 (if economy normal), else 0.5 is possible.
Performance bonus 1.5

total 16 months sounds about right. at least 14 to 15 mths if economy bad or performance cui (1.2) or super cui (zero)

disclaimer. my own experience. maybe now they changed policy on how increment works or now start off with lower starting pay.

Unregistered 18-10-2019 01:20 PM

Your application will be retained in our system for 1 year. We welcome you to re-apply after this period and to consider the available positions at that time

Does this msg means I still can apply for other roles within this year? Does it means I pass the PT?
