Thanks

You have to look out for the MBS@Gov logo. My experience is that some clinics may not want to accept it even then, claiming that they cannot find your particulars.

What should I put for the monthly & annual salary expectation?
Applying for an Engineer position at SB...
local grad,2 years of engineering experience, no ns

Hi I went for an interview last week at a ministry. Was informed by HR during interview that there will be a second round of interview if shortlisted but was not told when would i be informed. Based on experiences, can anyone shed light on how long does it take to be informed whether one is furthered shortlisted to second round interview after the first round? Thanks!

Hi, anyone can advise on the working culture and prospects in IE Singapore? Also what's the typical number of years do fresh grads get promoted from Manager to Senior Manager?

For those working in ministries, are there benefits such as corporate discounts when recontracting mobile line?

question...

if Ministry offers 3 years contract position..and if we break contract, we will have to pay back $$$, based on the number of months of salary remaining right?

anyone here got similar experience?

It is a common practise to offer you contract work for public sector or GLC

as a probation to see whether you can work or not, and whether are you really suitable in this work environment

I have seem 2 years contract before

if 1 year contract is still okay

I was recently offered by one of the ministry. The HR called and I accept the offer. But the HR told me the offer will be confirmed after approval by the senior management. Anyone know what's this approval for? I am afraid that they will suddenly say the senior management don't approve. I am really really worried!

Wonder if anyone manage to move from one public agency (mx12) to another (mx11) provided acquired the no. of relevant years of exp? Will HR of hiring agency push for movement policy (same terms and conditions + same substantive grade) rather than give the prospective employee the better option?

employee can choose if they want to resign and renego package or go for mopo.

usually upfront will tell the HR if you want to be considered as new candidate or mopo
