Yeah, it's like that. But I read read from somewhere that only 8% manage to pass the exam.

don't worry...it's just peanut afterall....everybody in that exam hall will be as jittery as you are

even lower % will be accepted as contract officers and some of those will be "dropped" during the contract period. It's the basic of supply and demand; too much supply, employer can be extremely choosey

May I know y you'll getting excited to work as contract PTD?

Y don't you want to find other permenant job in other sectors (whether in gov or privates)...

Don't be blind for the sake of this position..can you guarantee you'll can be convert to permenant PTD? What if not? Think about your futures...can you guarantee our economics will sustain enough to cough out this recession problem?

Working in gov is pretty much makes us "safe"...but working as CONTRACT in gov is not "safe"

Think again.

Where did you get this statement?

Well, i just want to give myself another option, I can always turn the offer down before i sign the contract. My cousins are PTD, heard that it's kinda interesting and challenging.

And, if i can become contract PTD, I'll make sure that I'll be converted to PTD Unggul.

Dunno the outcome for you...but contract PTD will be only contract PTD..have duration services...benefits may same as permenant..but after contracts end, no continue..perhaps think again...need to start EPF again..what a waste...

according to my cousin, if nothing goes wrong, after 3 yrs, contract PTD will be converted to PTD Unggul.

the 3-years duration is just for those contract PTD to be prepared to become the real PTD.

I haven't get the offer yet, why worry so much?

If you think you will be terminated after 3 yrs, then don't even accept the offer.

i din expect malaysia kita book sold out so fast . have to order and pay 15 buck more. Anyway if i get till interview, gonna go do plastic surgery to enhance my look lol. They say first impression important.

i think they are pumped up trying to land a decent job with a decent salary.

a contract post is just that, anywhere; but rarely do governments go banckrupt while companies are winding down like there's no tomorrow...so that's a small "safe" factor

i envy your enthusiasm hope you'll carry the same energy throughout.

just don't become PTD Tunggul

i think your cousin got it slightly wrong

during the contract period, aspiring officers will be constantly evaluated with a primary end-of-year assessment (unless policy is changed). Those that have served well (according to whatever assessment criteria the policy lays out) will be recommended for permanent appointment.

there will be no such thing as automatic conversion to permanent post after a period of time.

you'll find in your offer letter that you can terminate your contract with a month notice or in lieu of a month salary and your employer (the government) can do the same.

you'll also find that General Orders and other service circulars are more "brutal" than the laws outside.

the book has roughly almost 400 page...so everyday since monday i've been reading 30 pages each day. and by friday next week you should have finish it.

I applied for it because i think compare to other gov,it's the most exciting..of course the competition is brutal..

I'm worried about the bm essay myself.last time I wrote a proper bm essay was during spm which was 5 years ago, I think.

pandai goreng cukup la.

@ K-o-E - in JPA?

I said, if nothing goes wrong, contract will be converted to permanent. If the performance is bad, that mean there is something wrong, of course the contract wont be converted to permanent.

and, i didn't mention anything about auto conversion.

yeah yeah.

contract is ok. but "sambilan" is suck.

if u got contract offer.. just reject it.. not worth it.. if u have knowledge of 3rd language better try other job more interesting.

no if, it is a contract offer.

nvm la...everybody have it own opinion..im also still thinking...im working now..gaji also sedap...but still go for ptd to test my luck..no cables..just go and hadap sudah!

doesn't matter if it's contract or what...secure the job first, then discuss.

JPA? nope

just an additional note: the term/period completed under your contract will not count when you're taken in as permanent as contract tenureship isn't similar to probationary period.

yeah, I'm aware of that too...

wasting 3 yrs is like not worth it lo.

studying msia kita book like mad. i almost puke.
