i applied for HR roles but when went for PT they put my 2nd choice instead. But since they ask you to indicate new choices, i think it means that you have pass the PT and now only awaiting hiring manager's interview. Then what 3 new choices did you indicate?

what are the prospects for working in MINDEF?

such kind of specialist job, exit options also very limited if the work is too specialised and secretive?

Wondering by which way will they inform you that you are selected for site visit. Email or message?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the reply! Was also wondering what is the difference between working in HQ and in camp. Is it going to be tougher in camps as the work hours might not be as balanced as in HQ ?

I think it is more role dependent. HQ like policy works can also be long-hours.

I think some roles leave more on time than others.

what are you applying for, perhaps we can try to debunk it. haha!

Thank you for being so helpful! Was looking at a logistics position in camp.

I think logistic (i assume your role includes you managing external logistics rather than S4 logistics) then that i would expect pretty much standardised hours and possibly pockets of additional work hrs here and there to make sure that contractors get their job done by the end of the day too?

Mostly camp people (regulars and dxo) would hv standardised days too so i think overall should follow working hours, and maybe some urgent calls here and there after work hours?

Sometimes camp is good because other camp ppl go home on time. I think HQ has more high flyers working OTs, so maybe they could be demanding to some extent too!!

All the best btw!

In-service logistics branch. I think they handle a lot of the camp’s logistic like rations and facilities etc.
