However, till now, there has not been an update every since my last correspondence with them on 23 May.

May I know from this situation, where do I stand in terms of getting hired? Any inputs are greatly appreciated, thanks!

any updates since then
they offer u alrdy

I was offered a position with one of the govt agencies. I am a current employee of a govt agency
Was given two options to consider - (1) join under movement policy or (2) resign and give my my years of service. However, I was told by the offering agency Hr that the offered salary and substantive grade would be about the same no matter I choose option 1 or 2.

i have friends who resigned from one agency to join another with higher salary and a few even with higher substantive grade. Hence I wonder if there is any case where existing public officers move under movement policy as there is no advantage in resigning and joining another agency as a new entrant?

I went for a pre employment medical check up 2 weeks ago but I still had yet gotten any reply or updates from the HR. Should I email and ask for my status?

Hi, I am currently with a stat board at MX12 grade with 8years working exp since graduation, current gross salary at mid 5k. I got a job offer from another agency offering me the same grade under movement policy and there is no room for negotiation with the offering agency to ask for mx11 in the new job appointment. I am hesitating to take up the offer since it would mean I would need to work harder for a few years before I would probably get a shot to move up to mx11.

Can I check if anyone encounter the same experience as me and what is your decision in your case? Thanks

Hi all, I just received a call from a ministry with a verbal offer after two rounds of interview but according to HR, they will still need to get approval from the director (1-2 weeks). However, HR has yet to mention or discuss the salary and benefits. Will they take the expected salary that I submitted during the application via careers@gov (which I understated in the application form, sighs) or will I still get a chance to negotiate my pay?
