I think every employers have different timelines. It can be days, weeks or months as I have seen in this thread.

Just had my 2nd interview last Tuesday. They did mention that they’ll get back within 1-2 weeks. However based on some posts in this thread it seems that the chances of getting the job gets lower as time goes by? Wondering if anyone who applied for HTX had some experiences on this?

Any news on this ?

Is it normal for HR to ask for your latest payslip (compulsory) before the interview?

I think it's normal. Encountered twice.

How to sense if the hiring manager would like to hire you?
If they talked with you like 1 hour, manrtioned you OK, in the end said wait HR, within 2 weeks.

Will HR inform me if I'm not selected?

The government sector appears to punish those who make any mistake in their career. I joined a stat board at the start of this year but it turns out to be the wrong job fit and went to apply for jobs after 3 months. Every interview the panel will say I job hop even after I explained the reason for looking out and reject me. Like that is no one allowed to make a mistake? Then they have to suffer at the wrong company for how many more months or years then is more politically correct to look again?

if i am asked to do a health questionnaire, does it mean high chance of getting offered?

They always inform me if I am rejected after interview.

Obviously for your case, the HR thinks you could be a good fit hence you are invited for the interview.

However, it is the actualy department who rejected you.

I would say not all departments are like that, and you should keep trying.

Good luck and god speed.
