I guess they really need people for that post or you are really the best fit.

Usually 2 rounds or even more.

My application timeline for sb:
Mid Oct - submitted application on portal
Early Dec - received call from HR
Mid Dec - interview (HR emailed after indicating that they would like to take process forward)
Mid Jan - verbal offer
End Jan - signing LOA

This thread helped me a lot so I’m posting my experience.
All the best to those applying/waiting for the outcome!

Thanks! We need such success stories to ensure we are still sane while waiting for the outcome.

Weird that they keep re-posting the same role every week….So I thought no chance liao.
Also hopeful that they accept my salary proposal.

urs not as long as others, u may still need wait abit more for the LOA. dont bother about the job portal, it is automated reposting, once loa signed, hr update job status, then the job will be removed
