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?

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.
