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

Anyone applied back to your former workplace at ministry/stat board but different department? If the Hr or hiring Dept does reference check with your former HOD, possible to request them to referencd with my former RO (who know my work better) and not HOD as the latter is likely to be biased and give a negative review?

did you find out and whats the salary range?

Hi all , noticed that now career@gov application doesn't require you to fill in your current and expected salary. I am currently a mx11 officer and keen to apply for an available opening with another agency. However the available opening seemed to be mx12 position. Advisable to still go ahead to apply and any chance if it can be under movement policy if offered under such case?

hi bros & sis, my boss recently threw me a warning letter through HR citing poor performance. If no further improvement observed, i will lose my job in six months. i suspect there are motives behind it as my preceding appraisals were all given good performance. I already contacted union and higher ups for help, not having much hope in union but still worth a shot. anyone can help advise further? thanks

We can't advise unless you give more details.

What is stated in your warning letter (things u didnt do well). There must be some truths to it right?

Past performances doesnt mean anything if u become a lousy/bad employee over time...

Does stat board send applicant for security clearance before giving job offer? Or they will usually offer first then do the clearance? Normally how long does the clearance take? Please advice thank you!! I had my 2nd interview early Sept but no news until now. Check w HR once liao no reply also. Status still in process, stresssssss ... dunno what to expect anymore

Logically should tell u verbally they will offer u
Then followed by clearance. Because if clearance can't clear then no point ask u sign contract.

Hi all, I applied for a job in a defence-related agency around 8 months ago and since then I've had around 6 interviews/tests in total before receiving a salary offer 2 months back. I assume that all that's left is for clearance to pass before they can make the final offer, and this usually takes about 3 months from what others have posted?

Have called up HR to check on the status but there's no update although they did say that they will update as soon as they make a decision, so no news for now is good news I hope.
