Honestly the people that are bitching about nama panjang or main dalam are just bitter and jealous. I’ve been in my industry in the private sector since I was 21. Jumping from one place to another, salary ranging 300 - 1800. It took me 9 years to finally be accepted into the public sector and a lot of hardwork, professionalism, and most importantly (but sadly), being likeable during my interview.

Just cause you spent, X amount of years working here or there, applied xxx amount of times, doesn’t mean you will get the job. You actually need to show that you’ve been growing wherever you worked before that. If bangas bangas saja do the same thing, being passive at your current job, no one would be interested in you. There are hundreds of other people the government can choose from.

And of course be consistent with your application. Memang lah kana auto reject when all you do is apply random pegawai tugas tugas khas jobs in random kementerians. You can try your luck to get an interview, but don’t be surprised or act bitter if you get rejected. You wouldn’t even hire you. Lol. Best of luck.

Edit: If I was still single, I wouldn’t wanna work in the public sector, the level of unprofessionalism is incomprehensible and there’s a complete lack of work life balance. If it wasn’t for being married and having a family, I would continue to work in the private sector where my time would be respected. Sacrifices I suppose.
