this is standard in public service HR, the rejected status will be updated in careers@gov donkey months later, or sometimes never depending on the agency. even if you are shortlisted they usually call you up months after application unless they are very desperate for manpower for that department (in which case might not be so good to join...) there is a high chance you might find a role elsewhere before they even take a look at your resume.

Hi. I just submitted an application for mgr(event management). Anyone any idea is this post less horrible than procurement exec that some of you here have warned about?

My DSTA application status turned from submitted to pre-screening. Any idea how long it takes from pre-screening to being shortlisted and called up for interview?

May i know when you applied ? im still in submitted state

probably not as bad as procurement side but sounds like a pretty dead end support corporate role

heard lots of bad things about procurement, avoid at all cost

think thrice before joining this place....this is an extremely toxic place to work in

Hi there! Saw some reviews that the workplace is toxic, would like to know more about the environment is the negative reviews due to the workload or other factors? Thanks!!
