anyone able to share if its easy to get contract extended/ emplaced in ministry? Contemplating between this and another offer from private sector which is a perm role of similar pay.

More keen in ministry role but the contract position is slightly concerning. tia!

Thank you so much for the clarification :) In this case, would the respective services consider my personal hobbies to make up for my lack of involvement in CCAs?

Who here has completed their final interview, HR is keen to move forward after the interview but has currently waited for HR to process their application for close to a month now? Any idea why is it taking so long and if it is a lost cause?

Worry so much then join private sector lor! Why stress yourself? Private sector... No need to worry about company not paying you on time, no need to worry about company can go bankrupt and close down leaving you jobless anytime, no need to worry about company leaving SG one day and move to other country, no need to worry about kanna axed due to company not making profit and so need to cut down manpower to prevent further losses... and many more. Steady stable and iron rice bowl... don't want meh?

Why stress yourself asking? We know you know the answer deep down. Private sector loh... No need to worry about company not paying you on time, no need to worry about company can go bankrupt and close down leaving you jobless anytime, no need to worry about company leaving SG one day and move to other country, no need to worry about kanna axed due to company not making profit and so need to cut down manpower to prevent further losses... and many more. Steady stable and iron rice bowl leh private sector perm role... don't want meh?

Me, by tmr will be sixth weeks.
By a month, you can contact HR for update although most likely they will feedback "in process/ still considering"

Did your HR said they were keen in hiring you after the interview as well? Gosh, six weeks is insane. Is your role related to defence? maybe they are processing your clearance.

Yes, they call and informed keen to process after interview.
Mine is HTX.

Remember there's another guy wait for 8 weeks without response, wondering whether he still active in this forum to post an update.

Refer to post 3240 for my experience with 2 SB.

Adding on to a ministry. They contacted me that they are keen to process my application after close to 4 months.
