I see, thank you for your explanation. Barring any unforeseen circumstances and if I say that I'm open to the other role, is it likely that HR will make an offer?

o btw what does COS stands for?

My division has both "strategy" and "policy" in it's name....depending on how high you wanna go.....

times have changed

they are many non scholar superscale officers.

Hi all,
recently i got a phone call from one of the SB.
saying they are keen to proceed.

then hr sent me a few documents they need + reference check ..
but without any medical check ..
does that mean that i am still on their consideration list only ?
i tot usually , health check up is do tgt one ?

Hi all,

Got an offer at the start of the week and when HR asked for a proposed start date, I proposed 6 weeks from now. (context: fresh grad wanting to enjoy my last dec hols) However, HR asked if I could start earlier.

Is this a red flag, & would you advise starting earlier?

I also joinging SB soon, no medical checkup, just medical questionaire.. HR mentioned based on questionaire i no need go medical.. she told me that after i ask do i need go medical, cos i signed everything already.. times have changed.. haha

Some like that one die2 want start asap.. lucky mine can start in Feb..

yes, there are. i didn't say superscale=scholar. much easier to get into superscale schemes if you are not a scholar nowadays. but if the role is earmarked for superscale, it's hard for a non-superscale to occupy the position

Hi guys, i just received medical check up from raffles medical group, regarding my medical check up for customs.. stating on the remarks , pre employment medical check up and that i have NIL past medical history and that they ask me to try keep my cholesterol lvl a little lower if needed as my cholesterol lvl is border line high. Right now just waiting for the HR to contact me to indicate that i am rejected or being offered a position. Any advice from anyone here?

TIA!

Sorry, can't help wrt your question. But may I know when was your medical? Did a medical for customs too last week.

just wait lor. wont be rejected one.

Hey im interested in applying for customs too….mind sharing how much is the salary or starting salary offered…TIA

SC
 

I went for my medical on 5 nov…what about you? When was yours? And you applied for senior or junior? HR got email u after doc submission and medical all?

SC
 

Really ah? I see the HR like slow ah…

SC
 

Dont know yet how much they will offer if i am hired for the position, but the salary will depends on your cert and experience in the field.. i think if no exp and standard gov job will offer about 1.8 to 1.9 lowest… unless u got dip..

I went for mine last week. Applied for senior. What about you? Before the medical, HR asked for some docs but thereafter, no news.

SC
 

Ahhh i see. I applied for junior, but after panel, 2 days later ask me to go medical , next day submit the docs then until now no news.. only receive remarks from raffles medical asking to maintain my cholesterol if needed. Hahah

i just sign on the dotted line for one of the offer from a sb last week and i recieved another offer this week from another sb. will there be any implications if i tell the first sb that i have decided not to work for them and proceed with the second sb? Are the hr able to see our application status?

What are you afraid of? Just go and tell them that you decide to join the second sb. What can they do to you?

Anyone knows what’s the difference between specialist and officer scheme at Singapore customs? Thank you

Specialist is for diploma holder, officer is degree holder

Recently got offered around 3.2k by an agency. Am graduating in May 2022 and was told that pay may be adjusted after I graduate. May I know what are the chances of a pay adjustment?

Expected to grad with FCH.

This is actually really low? Are you from NUS, NTU or SMU? Which agency is this?

People from the above mentioned usually get 3.7k for 2nd upper and 3.8-3.9k for FCH even from stat boards.

From FASS, NUS. Yea, I feel that it’s too low, considering the median is 3.5k for FASS. I expected the amount to be somewhere there too. Don’t want to mention which SB.

Are they trying to lowball me because I’ve yet to graduate?

When you graduate will have a raise. That's what happened to my colleague as well.

Hello just got the email offer early this month as well, waited 2 weeks for vital to send the LOA but no email came in, how about you?

I got offered around a week ago, but yet to make a decision on whether to accept

Can you share ur timeline please, am a bit worried because HR said within these two weeks but vital didn’t send. Is there a reason for this?

Mentioned at the top of this page.

Went for both rounds of interview in Nov. Medical end Nov and then offered in early/mid Dec.

Maybe you can email HR to find out more?

Called yesterday but she wasn’t in. Left a message waiting for her to reply on mon.

Thanks for sharing. Hope I get the LOA next week. Am quite anxious about this.

Hi! I also received an offer last week. Already accepted the offer… currently waiting for LOA from vital too! What date did you state for start work date when accepted the offer ?

Hi, because I am only graduating after next Sem of sch, HR said they would inform me when I would start again. How about you? Also do you know how long vital takes before they give out the LOA? Quite worried cause it’s been 3 weeks for me since the HR said vital would contact me.

Are you a Uni grad?
