Not sure where you applied but i dont think they would give verbal offers. Usually the only confirmation is when they send u the contract. Because anything could happen in between, like backgrouns or medical checks etc..

What's the typical processing time required by Vital to get in touch on the appointment formalities? I'm less than a month to my agreed commencement date but have yet to hear from Vital. Any advice from those being appointed in recent months would be much appreciated. Thanks

I heard that it takes some time after medical. After your second interview, how long did they take to inform you to go for your medical?

They inform me to go for medical is about 4 days long…

anyone applied for a non-teaching position with MOE before? i went for an interview with them 2 weeks ago and took a personality test but i havent heard from them so far? Is it a goner?

Hi guys, has anyone tendered resignation in a SB/Ministry within one month due to job unsuitability? Any repercussions for next employment if one is still keen to work in public sector? TIA.

Not a good move to do so, it’ll appear to the next hirer that you are fickle minded etc. Why do you even take the first move to send in the resume, attends the interview only to quit in a month. There are so many stuff that the next hirer will want to know besides saying that the job is unsuitable. Idk these are is just my thoughts.

I see… so you reckon it’s not advisable to return to the public sector? It’s true actually, I was recently given an interview opportunity with the same organisation but diff dept - instead of trying to find out about my suitability for the role through my previous job experiences, they focussed on sussing out why I had previously left the organisation within one month. Sigh, demoralising much..

Perhaps you may want to try a different sb/ministry or just leave the job out of your resume when you apply for the next role
