As long no news, it's good news. FYI my position took almost 3 months to call for interview.

If you are panicking because you have another offer, high chance you will take the other one, then resign 3-6 months later if indeed mindef is more suitable and finally invites you to sign.

Thanks for the reply!
That is good advice 😂

Hello

There are several components for a DXO to be successfully hired. Medical pass, Clearance pass and interview pass and salary approved.

HR informed me that all passed, medical is not pass yet. However the contract can be prepared for me to sign. HR suggested that rarely medical fail but just in case, the contract is void if eventually medical Failed.

I always thought that signing means that the job is mine? Can/should I "safeguard" my interest by signing? In my previous employment with a ministry, medical was also done at leisure after signing, more for the group insurance policy than anything else. However, later they removed the group policy and instead credit money for us to buy own health insurance so, health checkup becomes protocol than necessity.

DXO have group health insurance that hinges on the medical checkup?

Opinion, anyone? I want this job.

I would like enquire how Long does it take for me to receive an email to be called for a PT? Will I be considered as I will graduate in 2 months time or do I have to wait till I have officially graduated in order to apply?

Just apply.
Your peers may have queue up since the start of the semester. Have a look at the other replies, people queued for 6 months to sign. Consider peeking into the thread 'jobless for a long time' see how cold hiring is now. All your worries actually, it's not your control, it's the employers decision. No matter which organization, it is the same.
PT invitation is computer generated. Either invited / failed. Sure receive something. Patience.

Not a dxo, but hearsay, medical checkup is important for uniform. Signed contract still can rescind if not fit. DXO actually just go through the motion as protocol. Hopefully you get some solid advice.

Then how does it take for the computer to generate the PT invitation?

My congratulatory call came in under 2 weeks. I am quite sure I am the top choice of two. If you are not the top choice, be patient. the top choice may not accept.

Clearance takes 4-6 weeks if that's your next qn. I am in my 4th week of waiting.

What did u apply for buddy?
