As an ex DSTA staff, i tried ways to return back there. I was being rejected a few times. Recently i gotten an offer as a project admin under EDS dept. It was under agency's contract though. But due to some reasons, i couldnt accept the offer. Days later i went to check with my agent to see if they can reconsider me again, cos i regretted my decision for rejecting the job. They never bother to take into the account of how long I have worked there before...The good thingsNo good things at the present. The old management were much better as more work life balance. They do not care much about whether you are graduated from private or local. Now they only welcoming local degree holders.
The challengesFor the past 11 years there, i worked as a junior level role.
