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

With that said, I should call at the end of 2 weeks since they said they would let me know then or jump the gun given the careers.gov update?

If they want you, they will contact you within 2 weeks usually. Else, you can play the waiting game, but it will hurt you in the long term. If it’s meant for you, it will be.

Understand where you are coming from

Just that am very keen on the position and stat board and location la so there is like a slight emotional investment to it

Yes i agree to, had called up and was told they are midst of processing thus would take 2 - 3 weeks to update status. Feeling quite sceptical although I had a positive interview experience.

While I know I did much better than other interviews I've had but I still feel something was amiss during my interview. Skillset wise I know I definitely could do the role but oh well, see how it goes la.

Hi, anyone got any experience about interview at MOF? How is it like?

So did you get the job? Which Min or SB?

Is it true that nowadays civil servants are required / encouraged to do special extra KPI in their appraisal every year on top of those in the normal job scope. Like organise or participate in public outreach events and exhibitions, give talks, supervise interns, visit the schools or engage reporters to talk about the work they do in the civil/public service?

Is it compulsory for all or only for those ambitious ones who are trying to outperform or stand out for a promotion?

Are the directors and managers being made to encourage their subordinates to do extra work?

Well, of course. Everyone is supposed to do your work plus additional tasks if they want to be promoted. But it’s really the norm for CS. You would be “arrowed” to join sub-comm or inter-dept roles and etc etc. Coz everyone in the actual fact and first instance, would do their jobscope. It is their extra tasks that will factor into their assessment/PB.

If you have relevant working experience, I’m sure that will be looked upon favorably by the prospective employers.
