Very fast for the initial phase. They filter people OUT really fast.

Went for an interview with govt body 2 weeks ago. During the interview, the panel was quite positive about me. They acknowledged that I have the relevant skills for the job, although I only have 6 months experience. I explained why I had resigned from my previous job (toxic environment and not conducive for me to learn) which they also seemed to acknowledge. A few days after my interview, HR called me up and requested for a referral/recommendation letter from my past employer which I gave. Is this the norm? So far when I’ve gone for previous interviews, I was never asked for a referral letter and got the rejection email within 2 weeks.

Usually MFA is very fast at the initial stage when they want to ask you to come down for the initial round. They should be on the ball especially around this time, as it’s close to grad period for the local unis and there would be a lot of applications. MFA HR works really fast and they want the cream of the crop, so they don’t want to lose those with high potential to other organizations.

During my time when I applied, first round was a group discussion. Just introduce yourself and talk about yourself and current affairs. Sign documents, submit documents. I got the call within the same week I applied to go down for the first round. Second round for me was a bunch of tests which took half a day. Mentally exhausting and they had like an outsourced team of people assessing your suitability for the position. Second round was scheduled about one week after the first round. Third round was the final interview. It was also about two weeks after the second round. Got their rejection about a week after.
