Their common question is :- "Why Are You Kean On This Job" ...

 

remember to go on this line that 'you are looking for a stable job and would like to serve'

 

Their second is :- "Why You Left Your Last Job" (if you are currently emplyed) ....

If it is for Junior to Mid level position, dun worry too much abt questions if you have 2nd upper and above honours (any discipline).

[Little_prince]

Not exactly entry level la. Abt 7 yr working experience. Given the title inflation in civil service. a manager there considered low/mid bah. Lol

True, civic sector/stats board very particular on academic results and where you obtained your paper. If you are a local grad with 2nd upper and above honours, chances of getting the job very high. Also very easy to jump from one civic sector/stats board to another.

Correct, people working for civic service, they are very supportive on the govt. Never say anything bad about the govt infront of them, they would not like it.
