I’ve served time and still managed to land a gov job. Not going to lie, the stigma is real but things will work out.

Pro tip: be upfront but only reveal till later stage of interview to the hiring manager when you know they want to confirm you.

bro, thanks for sharing. Mind sharing a bit on what was the offence about? And how were you able to "only reveal till later stage.." when usually you are asked in the forms even before the interview panel sees you...?

Mine rabak bro.

From changi to db all sit before haha but those happened during my younger days so that helps in a way I guess.

For the declaration in the form, I will put yes and ask them to give me a chance to explain in the interview at the part where it ask you to elaborate further.

For those that no need to fill that stupid form, I will declare only the heaviest penal sentence to hiring manager after finishing all the previous rounds. So far for those that managed to reach background check never fail before.

Have faith

That question in the form is super annoying I guess, especially for those who changed, but at least it helps you to filter away “bad” employers. Good luck dude.

I was headhunted for a managerial position in a listed mnc, during application declared everything without hiding anything ( mine is non registrable offence ) went thru interview and all successfully. After i sign my letter of offer and tendered resignation at my current company , last min say their compliance dept cannot approve hiring and need to withdraw offer.

Yea there have been some stories in this forum about companies withdrawing their offer at last min which is pretty scary.

Any HR can tell us what and how they check?

Did you bring this up with your hiring manager/HR at the final stage beige they offer?
