What's the offered monthly salary? Sounds like you were underpaid in your previous role.

Congratz, did you choose to do a transfer or quit n join in order to get the salary offer

Hi has anyone faced this situation before?

I have an interview with the dept in a few days time but i just received an email a few days from the HR (via careers@gov) saying my application is unsuccessful.. a bit strange since i have not even gone for the interview and even stranger that the rejection message is not automated from careers@gov, it was signed off by the company HR.

has anyone faced this situation before or is it a common thing?

I have faced twice in this scenario. Both was automated email received after verbal offer from both SB. 1 of the HR did called and inform me to ignore as it was the system error.
I guess if you are worried, no harm reaching out to the HR for clarification. Most probably would be some error in their automated system. All the best!

So i have decided to email them and they said they will not further process my application. I applied for another job post under the same SB and i was given a final interview instead. They asked me for my transcript and also to complete a declaration form.

What can i expect from a final interview?

OP here. Got a call from HR the day after the final interview and they are keen to further process my application. Requested to fill up medical questionnaire and also consent for reference call. Usually how long does it take for them to get back?
