i doubt anyone will answer you regarding security process.

timeline depends on your level of clearance. i waited 6 weeks or so because boss wanted me to be cleared at a higher level. but end up took too long.. did the basic one first(just some forms when you submit at CMPB). then followed up higher clearance when in job.

Interview
 

I’ve looked through some of the old posts for interview (site preview) timeline - successful applicants usually get a call within 3-4 days? Still accurate?
Do they only call one applicant, or maybe the top 2? (Like a backup, since they’ll be visiting the actual job place and maybe they prefer one over the other?)

My personal experience:

Applied for a position in 2017. Received a call for interview 7 working days after psychometric test.

Applied for a position in 2019. Received call for interview 3 working days after psychometric test.

For your reference, please.

Has anyone been rejected after receiving a verbal offer?

If u fail security or medical, it can happen.

Security checks after getting job as DXO
 

Hi folks,

I came to ask this with a context knowing that possession of pornographic materials in hand phone is a chargeable offence under SAF disciplinary guidelines from my reservist. I know that anything that consist of human flesh and exposes the 3 sensitive points of the female persona infringes the SAF act.

I am also considering to apply for a role under MINDEF listed under careers.gov.sg and I have definitely met and probably exceeded the job requirements.

Just wanted to ask those who are already working inside, while I don't watch porn (I have confidence that my internet history is quite clean), I do have a hobby of flying overseas to visit adult expos (like the upcoming Taiwan Adult Expo 2019) but I don't store any photos in any of my gadgets.

I also have a collection of animes of harem genre in my personal hard disk. (Apologies to all haters but I believe every human has their own kinks).

The reason why I would like to work in MINDEF is my obsession with tactical equipment (Other than stilettos, my sweater & pants are practically slash and water proof) and I would like a job which comes with free exercising facilities. I am also a constant recipient of the Best NSmen award during reservist as I totally look forward to camp life every cycle (but I cannot sign on as I am PES C9 due to injuries during NSF days).

May I know if it is a risk for me to even consider working in MINDEF or should I just remain in the private sector or other non-MSD linked government organisations rather than to waste my time getting charged into DB? Would appreciate some insights into this before I even waste my time applying.

Thanks!

Just apply lah, what think here think there..

Just apply and try. I mean there are other sieving stages before anyone makes a decisionso give it go and see what happens.

With regards to pornographic materials, as long as you do not possess them, SAF/MINDEF does not care about. But if they happen to be in your phone when you’re being checked, then good luck you will mostly likely be warned and/or fine.

Not all camps give exercising facilities, be sure to apply for camp based jobs. Places like CMPB, DTTB, MINDEF May not have facilities you want.

I applied for a role in MINDEF in late May, but I have not received any replies regarding my application, does it mean that I failed and need to reapply :(
