It is ok. This shows that you are interested in public service work. Also, this will also ensure that they make a decision fast.

Agree that it shows interest, but do make sure it's not all over the place (no focus on any area/specialisation) which may in turn make you look like you don't know what you want or you're just 'throwing net'. Having a direction helps...

There's nothing wrong in saying you've applied to other ministries and stat boards. My guess is they are trying to see if you've offers from them. This could be somewhat of an indication of how "good" you are. For me, I told them upfront I had several other offers waiting, and used that to negotiate for higher salary successfully.

stat board, background check is before or after sign the employment letter?

i only know reference check is after sign of employment letter.

does all statboard contract will be auto renew after end of contract?
