Hi all.. Can I ask u guys a question. I have the contact numbers of 2 HR officers - one who called and emailed me to go down for the job interview and the other one who is part of the panel of interviewers. If I wish to call to check on the outcome of the interview, who should I call? Thanks.

Reference Checks
Can anyone share when reference checks are done by a hiring ministry/statboard during the hiring process?
It seems like my references have been contacted but I only went for the first interview. Seems kind of weird for reference checks so early on, no? |
Quote:
Did anyone know what to check with references? responsibilities? leadership skills? job duties? salaries? or even including warning letters etc |

I applied for a position three months ago. Is it normal that the company now call in to ask one question and then tell me that I will be informed in a week time if shortlisted?

And you will feel negative because so many candidates vying for the limited vacancies or perhaps just one. |

However, I believe many positions (eg. in LTA/ Spring/ JTC) are auto posted in careers @ gov, so they keep appearing after every few weeks. |
wonder how u all cope during the period after an interview
not knowing whether you made it or not... |

I called up the Stat board I applied to after slightly more than 1 week and was told verbally that i got the job. However, they need another 2 weeks to before the offer letter is ready. I was wondering will the Stat board/ministry keep their verbal offer? I have another likely offer in the works and i dont want to reject the offer only to find out later that the Stat board decide to withdraw the verbal offer. Any advice?

Quote:
i think no harm calling HR and double checking tt your offer will not be withdrawn tell them your current difficulty and say u really wish to work for them but would need to clarify to make sure that the offer would stand btw... u needed to call HR before they told u that u got job? if not they also wont take initiative to call u? :( |
Quote:
they dun let u know if you have been rejected? :( |

Rejecting is easy but imagine how it is for the candidate who prob would have made plans :mad: |
Quote:
If it is a yes, some HR will only call you on the offer after they have got everything done and approved and in Ministry/Stat board case, can take 2 - 4 weeks I guess.... |
Quote:
for company, if its taking 2-4 weeks to notify candidate without giving a verbal clue, den they should be prepared for high number of candidates rejecting as they might have founf other jobs for candidates, 2-4 weeks without any clue is bad |

This is 2014, It is widely accepted that
Companies will only notify shortlisted applicants. Even after attending an interview, if no news after 2 weeks, it is also widely understood that it is time to move on. Do not waste time waiting for the reject email etc. This is 2014, everybody it is time to move on with your life. Thank you |

Applied for a few jobs but received no calls. Depressing.
