sometimes hiring manager wants to meet everyone decide who to short list for site preview so can take awhile

I applied for one of the HR positions! I hope so >< Or maybe I'm just not their top choice.... Prays for the best!

It's probably peak hiring season now. HR shared that all they can do at their end is to send the CVs etc. to the hiring team and from there, it's up to the hiring team whether they want to meet the candidate for an interview. This is contingent on the hiring team manager's schedule(s) and whether they want to wait for more applicants to apply so they have a bigger pool to pick from. So the process can take up to a couple more months if they want to delay the selection.

It is more of how are you going to get the team to work as a head(manager).

Start worryig what if you meet people like me who understands your job scope better than you do.

I will start asking if this or that could be done. And you are to use your experience to assist me, this executive, in making a decision.

To put it simpler, you better know what to delegate and do it smartly else you risk falling of the track and get C- next year (should you get in as a manager)

Hi user,

Thank you for your response. I understand where you are coming from. There definitely bound to be more experienced executives.

fresh grad are usually assistant managers, DX9. for rank comparison, its abit grey. But i would say its considered Captain(DX9-11). DX8 is LTA.

MINDEF does pay a slightly higher premium from other ministries. This is because the role in National defense and we are expected to work longer hours if needed, i.e Weekends/ Shifts/ Operational Duty/overseas deployment. We dont get OT pay. its because of this we get slightly higher and hence a higher budget is needed and not because of higher budget, we get better pay.

Hi all,

Would like to enquire with users that got offered recently. How long does it usually take between site preview -> medical checkup and subsequently the security clearance. I know there is a range , just wondering about how long as I want something tangible to work with.

Thank you!
