the current one tt i am on is for 2 years, final extension since some PSD directive says max can only sign contract accumulatively for 4 years. any duration beyond that (i.e convert to perm headcount is subject to the stat board whether haf head count to bring u in)

most leave entitlement would haf as per perm staff
however other fringe benefits like PB, year-end bonus, dont have for me

So what’s your plan? You prefer contract gig is it?

Hi, anyone applied for Officer of Customs post? How long does HR take to update you the status of whether you are hired, and what’s the process like? I noticed that the post on Careers@Gov was like opened 3 times after it expired.

recently, I have applied for a job in my parent ministry. 2 weeks ago, I rejected it as the pay cut was too much. Last week, the min HR called me and proposed that I do a secondment. If I am ok, they will contact my SB HR.

Now I abit concerned, what should I be anticipating, is secondment good for my resume.

sorry for my noob qn.

Secondment is a good exposure, however, most people who are seconded to other SB/Min do not usually get promoted fast, because only your parent agency can put you up for promotion. There are pros and cons. But I would go for secondment as I would be able to have a better understanding of how other SB/Min works and what’s best for me eventually.

Mine isn’t A, sent the hr an email on Mon but no reply.. maybe busier now? Idk

Dun understand why HR so simple things can be up to few months one for the whole onboarding process. If in private company already sure kana sack already for being ineffective.

so you are still waiting?

Average pay of the job in stat board is $x but this is 40% higher than my current pay. Did a comparison of my work exp vs the peers in the same role and i am comparable/more experienced. What’s the likelihood of getting $x as my offer?
