I took mine ard 2nd week of July, no news too, without email. From what I gathered from this forum, I guess no news is good news. I understand the anxiety from the wait, so I took up a temp job to stop myself from focusing too much on the wait.

There r 2 panel interviews, 2nd round involves a HR personnel and commanders from different bases. HR personnel asked HR qns like 'tell me abt urself' and the commanders asked why u wana switch jobs and technical stuffs. 3rd interview, they asked abt ur views on current affairs and political issues. Not hard to answer, mostly qns like 'what do u think makes a gd employer?', 'which ministry is the best?' Jus give politically correct answer but dont fake too much...

No they didnt call up any of my ex bosses. I knw cux I checked with them...

whether you are shortlisted or not, mindef would send you the email. so if you have not received the email, they are just processing. dont worry.

anyone who went for the interview on monday (for ns relations) got called already? i felt like i didnt do well for my interview, but sometimes you just dont know their criteria...

Any questions updates on getting phone calls?

[haiz2006]

I have applied for Head(NS relations) as first choice and manager(plans) 2nd choice. With 3 years of private and public experience, I was short listed for PT just 1 day after I sent in application. For NS relations it stated 6 years working experience but I only have 3, but I have vast experience handling Ns men during my service days NsF. Taking NS men too.. How much pay should I expect?

And how would I know what I was short listed for? I am more inclined to the head (Ns relation) position and I forgot one more position I have applied for because I tot that was not important.. Where can I find my application what I have submitted before?

Will my application be expedited if I have done PT and submitted all required documents on actual day? Please help...anybody applied for Head(Ns relations)?
Ya we might be vying the same post but I am okay

What is this role really about???

I received an email asking me to go for the phsychometric test and I've reverted back to the mentioned personnel stated in the email. I'm a mid career and I think I like the MINDEF job very well eversince I'm out of the RSAF since 2011.

I've the following experiences :
10 Yrs in RSAF regular (Diploma)
Graduated with 2nd Upper, NTU in 2010 and ORD in 2011
A*STAR for 15 months and stats board (11 months)

In total, I've more than 10 years experiences, be it in Diploma level and Graduate level. Can you advise of the possible pay and the grade that I will be getting?
