MINDEF DXO (All FAQ on it)

you can email the hr personnel who scheduled you for the psychometric test.

Curious, what is the difference in the salary grade for project lead and executive? Which one is higher?

Just checking... Anyone who took the psychometric test around 15 October or later who received either rejection or interview?

damn, its been 7 weeks since my first interview and still no news.

i contacted HR, and the person told me that he/she is also "pending replies from the units" and they'll let me know as soon as they have an update on my status.

wtf, why is this taking so damn long? should i look for other jobs?

If you are following the posts in this thread. You will find the answer you need.

If you have waited for 7 weeks since your interview, most likely you have been rejected. Time to look for other jobs.

putting a positive spin on it, things might be slow as it's the end of year period where everyone is clearing leave and no one is around to make decisions.

Does anyone know how often defence psychologist positions become available?

Not very frequent. I talked to one of them when mindef came down to my uni for a career talk before. They say that the position is very competitive and they get alot of applicants. Second Upper hons local uni is a minimum to even get a shot.

They are, they probably are the biggest hirers for psychology grads. Second would probably be MOE. But thing is, the supply of psychology grads is just simply too overwhelming. Too many psych grads with too little positions available. If you think about it, there are psych grads coming out of NTU, NUS and SMU. On top of that, almost every single private institute you can think of offers psychology degrees as well. SIM, MDIS, Kaplan, PSB literally all of them.
