but now as each day passes... confidence changing to dissapointment

Did the HR tell u when they would notify u of the outcome? U are waiting for a second round interview or was there only one round of interview? Why don't u call the HR to check if u are anxious?

caus dun wanna appear despo mah since they said 2 weeks

Is there anyone who do not dare to call HR after ur interview for fear of hearing rejection? Uaually I just wait for the time to pass. If no calls means no chance. I dare not call.

Anyone knows what does it means if they start posting a similar recruitment ad for the same position but a different deadline, a few days after my interview. Is it safe to assume that none of the earlier batch of candidates is suitable and hence, they are putting up another ad. Was pretty confident after 3 rounds of interview but this ad thing is really making me lose hope.

Which stat board/ministry did you apply to? It could be a auto-repost in the system.

Health Promotion Board, but it was a new ad with a different (extended deadline). Certainly don't look too promising right now.

Anyway i have just received an offer from another Ministry, similar function kind of job. Having said that, i'm definitely more keen in the former position. Guess i'd just have to wait for a few more days and pray for a miracle.
