Jobs Bank is finally up

Hi,
I am trying to enumerate the status of application in jobsbank and the meanings.
I notice that there are New, Shortlisted, Not Shortlisted, Processed.
What other status are their?
What is the difference between Shortlisted and Processed?
Can I find out for a given position, how many are shortlisted and how many processed?

shortlisted means you are shortlisted for interview

Processed means your application for the particular position is being processed. The result is not out yet. Can be shortlisted or not shortlisted.

Hi,
I have applied for more than 20 positions in the last month thru jobsbank. No success.
Has ANYONE landed a job so far in Singapore using the jobsbank?

I have. Ministry, fresh local grad 2nd upper. Are you Singaporean?

Jace.

And honestly. If you've applied for 20 and got no response for all of them. It means that your expectations are too high. Your qualifications and experience may not meet the jobs you are applying for. Try a little bit lower.

is there even a need for 2nd upper to apply govt job through jobbank? can as well apply though career@gov.

Anyone with nitec/diploma/ normal degree got shortlist/offer through jobbank so far?

Engineering diploma holder here. Grad 4 years ago. 2 years NS and 2 years work exp. Found a job with a japanese company specialising in mostly cable installation. 2.6k/mth + phone bill allowance and good insurance and benefits. Was told bonus is variable but average 2 months, depending on performance. Have not signed on the dotted line yet but I definitely will. Current job pays only 2.3k and has much less benefits.

With so many internship positions going to foreigners, they should be posting them on the jobsbank portal too...

Hi,
I applied for 12 jobs so far.
For 3 jobs, the status is "shortlisted". Noone has contacted me so far.
For 2 jobs, the status is "processed". Noone has contacted me so far.
For 1 job, the status is "new". Easy to understand.
For 6 jobs, the status is "not shortlisted". Fair enough. Don't waste my time if you have other candidates.

Can someone let me know:

How long before these folks will contact me?

What is the difference between "processed" and "shortlisted"? Is a job application "shortlisted" first or "processed" first?

Is it just me or status of most of my applications are 'New'? Does it mean they are rejected?
