if i were in your situation, i would probably think how to handle the boss better since now i know his/her pattern, e.g. respond/ get answers before it is required from your boss. if you have not tried, it may help to talk directly to your boss about what is bothering you, in terms of being micro-managed and be allowed to improve your productivity. let him/her know how you can perform better if you are being more empowered. however, be tactful during the conversation and dont make your boss feel that you are being insubordinate. i'm sure your boss also reports to his/her boss. thus, if you have chance to feedback to someone of a higher seniority than your boss, i would recommend to feedback your concerns in a polite manner. this should be considered if there are no improvements following your talk with your boss. you can also request for internal postings, but i would think that as a last resort. take it easy, think carefully before making any rash decisions :) |

Break contract
Hey guys. This is an incredibly informative thread. I went through all 250+ pages. Really appreciate the efforts of those who post here.
I have a question. If I have already signed a letter of appointment with one of the ministries (not MOE), then another offer comes along and it is much better and therefore I want to take this other offer, can I do that without fear of repercussions? Can I be sued or anything serous like that? |
won't be sued.
But perhaps they will ask u about it if u do join civil service again in future. Quote:

When civil service HR tells you that after rejection that "your resume will be kept in our database for future roles, kept for reference etc" is it all just meaningless motherhood statements?
Have anyone ever come across a miracle case whereby you kena rejected and suddenly get offered the role later? I for one, got rejected by N** university initially but was accepted 2 months later during the appeal phase. I personally attended 4 civil service interviews, got shortlisted to 2nd round for 2 of them and one of them reached until salary discussion and 'approval from superiors' phase, but still rejected after 2-3weeks. Or am i judging too early? Will I only get offers after 8-10 interviews? Really feeling ccb. I have a sparkling new N** degree but still bloody jobless for >3months. fresh grad here. |

My grades were 0.1 away from 2nd lower. 1. Treasury Building Ministry - this one was rotten from the start. Went into the room, got blasted by the DD and Head. No surprise abt the result after 2 weeks. at least they (or rather the HR lady) had the courtesy to make a rejection phonecall. 2. Environment Building - This was the one where I got to the final stage. 3. WDA - got to 2nd round, rejected 4. Ministry X (just finished their case study assignment now waiting for interview so I can't tell you which one). For No.2 I also cannot believe. Freaking wasted my time chasing them for 2 whole weeks for an answer, as I was mentally preparing to tender my resignation from my contract job at that time. Seems quite bizarre to me that they need "superior's approval" to reject someone. My only guess is that it was a very close call between me and the other guy. |
