engineers increment
 

any agencies / ministry have announce on the special engineers increment? is it based on engineers degree or work related to engineering?

I am working in a government agency with engineering relate work.

We will be briefed today on this increment and what I understand is as long as you are engineer based work or work related to engineering and in my case is construction. You will get it

I will update the info after today's briefing if you are interested to know

Please update us, I haven't heard about any briefing yet.

Of course it is work related to engineering. Why would it be based on degree? Your reason for asking is probably because you have an engineering degree, but that does not make you an engineer.

I went to Careers@Gov to look at the job openings. Some of them the openings and closing dates are very close. Does this automatically means that position is in need of personnel? And how about those where the dates are very far apart? Safe to assume those are not really urgent positions?

What's the difference between ministry and stat board? Do they focus on different things?

In term of role, work and tasks, do ministry do things that stat board do not handle or specialise in, and vice versa?

im gonna sound very dumb answering ur question, but i'd still do it anyway...

Ministry: anything with the word ministry in front...
MOE education
MOH health
MOHA home affairs
MOD defence
MOF finance
MOFA foreign affairs

Statboard: anything that isn't a ministry or has the word ministry in it...
PUB
polytechnics
SMRT
singaporepools
ITE
telco
etc

there are other statboards like CPF, IRAS, MPA, but i lazy to list out all la...

**correction:

Statboard: anything that isn't a ministry or dont have the word ministry in it...

How hard is it to get a Public Sector job? I heard widely that as long as you have a good honours degree you stand to have a good chance. Yet after applying for so long i've not had even a phone call for any interviews.
