Civil Svc/ Statboard - Typical Timeline for making a Hiring Decision

Hi all. I went for an interview with a government agency in early April and no news until now. I sent a follow up email to the hr contact but no reply as well. Should I just move on from it now and assume I am rejected?

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. There is no need to assume that you are rejected, but you need to continue to move forward. Even if there are genuine reasons resulting in the delays, the wait could be months. Who knows, you might come across better opportunities... So yes, you need to move on, but there is no need to deliberately assume you have been rejected.

Try calling them! Good luck!!

Thanks all. Just sent another follow up email. But I will just assume I am rejected. Or at least not the 1st choice. I still have a job and other options. So not much worry for me.

Before the interview you need to do an essay etc.

Hello guys, just wanna ask about attire issues in statboard/civil service.
I'm applying and awaiting for interviews from these govt corporations, but am also going overseas very soon.

What kind of hair colours can I have / not have? So I can properly decide what colour to dye and that the colour would not affect me being selected (if I get called up for an interview).

The usual browns should be okay, since I see people with that colour (am i right)?
But ashy colours? Or even colours like ashy pink/red?

I know bright / neon / bleaching are definitely not allowed.

Hope I someone/a few of you can advise about this!!

brown should be fine. don't go with ashy pink/ red (not sure what it is actually). if you do that, definitely spray it black/brown for the interview. do it for the impression - that's half the battle won.

2 and 3 seems fine.

you dont want to be too loud during an interview. don't give them a reason to dislike something.
