Even if they get retrenched, they can still join CS and take on leadership appointment with their years of experience in the private sector

In my early 30s now, took a longer path in my education journey, was a rebellious student in the past.

Heng I took the longer path but still never 出人头地

Nope....CS won’t take you if you only wanna join because you were retrenched. Believe it or not, entry interviews are very stringent because they sieve out private sector type who only want to hop in and hop out.

Can share what scheme?

That is what the folks in the private sector love to think. But it is not true. Far from it.

My friend who is a Manager in the maritime industry was only offered a senior exec position when he applied for a position at my Ministry HQ. From 8K to around 4-5K. And that was provided he cleared through all the subsequent interviews.

Didnt proceed further.

Yeah it doesn't but would say it helped me with getting the job - considering the competition.
