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

Then after interview, will be contacted after one week if successful. I have not accepted the offer so I don't know the timeline after that. My personal guidance is if no reply 3 weeks after interview, it's not successful. And good to continue applying jobs to keep your mind off the anxiety.

For those who have been successful in securing interview with Min/SB, May I know if you have some relevant experience or fresh grad? I am a fresh grad and has not been able to secure any interview at all. But private was quick to reply me. As some of you said, it is true that if not contacted within 2 weeks, it is a hopeless case. My status changed from process to unsuccessful around 6 weeks later longest.

It has been almost 8 weeks since application has closed and my application status is still indicated as ‘in process’. Does this mean there’s no chance of me being shortlisted for the job?

I am still thinking if I should drop her a message to check status, just that will feel put off if she ignores it. And looking at other replies it's like no chance of success.

No harm sending her another message. I messaged the hr recently and she say need more time. Probably need approval or something?

As a fresh grad, don’t give up and keep on trying. I manage to secure interviews as a fresh grad, though that was a couple of years ago. But the recruitment process for public sector would take quite a while, averagely about 2-3 months for most cases. So do weigh your options as well.

There is a separate thread for this under career as a teacher but also discusses non teaching application.

What job did you apply for MOE non teaching? Did you have some working experience or a fresh grad?

Recently have applied for a couple of roles under MHA. Reading some of the responses here it seems no news is good news of majority of the cases?

Any specific advice regarding applications for MHA?
