hi all
just to check, for those who went for the psychometric test, and had to fill in the personal particulars form, who did you list under referees?
Cos for their forms they require detailed information like referee's NRIC, home address, Chinese name etc. I don't have all these.. my referees are all ex bosses etc

It doesnt mean that u can get thru the interview means that u r not gd enuff, sometimes it may be that the position u applied have overwhelming no of candidates n there r better candidates than u.
Unit review is the final round of interview. For me, there were 4 of us and only 1 got thru. It was an interview with all the commanders of the unit to decide on a common candidate to pick. Basically they would aldy have a rough idea on who they were going to pick during 2nd interview and so they will round up the best few to attend a las round of interview with other commanders and see who they were gonna pick. Before I went to the unit preview, the dxos, secretary and commanders actually aldy discussed abt me. I was rather funny during my second interview. So look out for cues and clues and u will def know if they wan u during the unit preview. Honestly, b forthcoming and polite. Try to be witty and funny...
After unit preview u will receive email/calls on e day itself in ur preference for the post (I.e navy, army or airforce) and within a week they will call u to see if u r keen on e unit u choose. No calls= no offers. Security clearance is a month....

Woah one month??? I am gng for my medical checkup soon. How long after will they give u the official offer with pay and benefits?

The process differs. For me, I was informed of my salary and asked to go for medical clearance the following week. Received another call for me to sign the contract on e day I went for medical clearance. Think it depends, most will do medical first. Probably becuz im starting work soon and they sort of took a shorter time to clear for my case.
Character referees can be ur frenz.. I put down my best friends' info.. I dont think the HR called anyway.

my referees are past superiors but I don't have their personal details like NRIC, home address etc. Is it ok to omit these details on the form?

Character referee need not be ex bosses, friends will do. They asked for supervisors' contact in one column of the form which doesnt require ic number or add...
If u get selected for the unit preview, they r very efficient in getting back to u if u do get selected. Usually u will receive a call on e day itself with rgds to ur preference (I.e army, navy or airforce) and they will get back to u on the approval in less than a week. Mine took 4 days and I received a call on sun afternn. They do work on irregular hrs...
Salary is confidential, but if u must know, the website states clearly that bachelor arts with no prior experience starts from 2590 unless u applied for specialised roles. Im sure there's still room for negotiations when salary is a concern. Nothing much the HR can do as the higher management has the final say.

Haha I didnt finished too, only 45 out of 60qns.. the colonel told me during unit preview that it is jus a test to see if u r suitable for the post, they do take results into consideration but only for references purposes. Dont worry, if ur prior experience/edn backgrd is suitable, u will still b suitable. I got the job offer and im starting work next week. Best of luck.
