Took PT on 18May. Perhaps need to wait 2-4 weeks as the process is pretty slow.

Could I please check with you how long did you wait after your first interview before they called/informed you to go for site preview?
And from what I know, they do inform that you are not shortlisted.. So don't worry too much :) Just be patient. All the best!

Hi, thanks for the reply :) This is heartening to know because I was getting a little demoralised.. From the other replies in the forum it seems like most people got contacted within a few days for site preview. I am still waiting for them to contact me and tomorrow is the one week mark from my first interview. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Congrats by the way!!

hi. for affordable and decent smartphone, you can try iNO3. about 300+++.

If you dont mind removing the camera from your iphone or samsung, it is allowed too. Can find any ahbeng shop and help you remove.

Is it normal to be selected for the psychometric test 30 minutes after application?

I know this probably been answered but what can I expect for the test?

practice some calculus and trigonometry. binomial theorem and some Laplace transformation.

All kidding aside, go google verbal reasoning. Basically reading a paragraph, and answer which statement is true. One simple example. Jane is a girl.

a. Jane is a female
b. Jane is a male
c. The earth is female.
d. The female is james.

This is a retarded example. its much harder than this.

And one more test i cant say the test name. Its like pattern recognition. More on shapes.

and btw 30 mins means the HR just happen to be free and saw your mail. nothing special.

I applied for my job, 2 days later received an email to ask me schedule a PT. I scheduled it abt 2wks later. 2wks after PT, I was called up for an interview for a date 2 days later. As I couldn't make it for the date scheduled, I request to schedule it another wk later.

On the day of the interview, I did a written test followed by a panel interview of 4. N I must say 15mins thru the interview, it should more or less determine whether u r their ideal candidate. The whole interview took more an 1hr. Partly also due to me asking many questions, I always felt it's not just about whether the company wants me, but I also about whether the job suits me.

A question I asked at the interview itself turned into a situation where I was immediately offered the job. Just before leaving the room, I asked the interviewee "what's the next step, after this interview?". Immediately my interview extended by another 15mins, my "boss" told me that if I'm willing to wait outside, while he interview his next candidate, he can take me on a site visit the same day n HR can do the offer.

N yes, so I waited 1hr for the site interview n thereafter he told me that as i wait for HRs offer, I can submit my resignation letter in my current job. He helped me chase for my medical n security which was cleared in abt 2wks

The rest is now history, as I've been a dxo for quite a while!

May i ask what qns did you ask that nailed the interview?

Anybody completed test in June and waiting for news from HR?

It's been three weeks since my first interview.. Have yet to receive a call from HR or a rejection email. Trying to be positive that no news = still got chance since the last time they took only 1 week to send me a rejection email.

Has anyone gone for an interview the same time as I did but have gotten updates?

DXO Ranking / Interview

Hi Guys,

I just went for my first interview yesterday. They seem extremely positive throughout the interview. Was interviewed by a HR DXO, Unit DXO and a Maj. Although the feedback I got from them was very forthcoming and good I'm still wondering how long I should wait before applying for other positions to keep my options open.

Just wondering on how long they actually take to get back to you regarding a unit preview. I was not told to go down for a Psychometric test or anything like that.

They did not mention about the paygrade as well, and didn't want to release much info on it.

Position Applied : Dispenser
Rank : DX5 - $XXXX ??

Anyone can enlighten me on what does a DX5 Rank mean ? Or what does it translate to in military rank ? CPL ? or something ?

Any positions below DX8/9 probably dont require psychometric tests. you can always continue to apply for other positions. no need wait for news.

Applied on 30 May, got PT appointment confirmation 1st June, set for 17th june

So now I have gotten the PT confirmation date, scheduled for this friday morning.

Graduated from Aussie uni back in 2014, 2 years experience in both private & public sector; now working at iDA on a fixed 6 month contract.

like the rest, Also applied on 30/5, HR got back to me by 1/6.

I am doing some free psychometric tests online as well just to get a feel. Hopefully with a fortnight, I will get an email or phone call to confirm interview. :)

So yeah. Wish me luck! ^^

How to apply for DXO

Hi, does anyone face problems when applying for any DXO position? I can't seems to get through to the NS portal that they link us to for the application. Can't login using Singpass.

Tim	17-06-2016 02:14 PM

Just done my PT.

Done this morning. Everything imho was done alright. But wasn't prepared for Sudoku puzzles as I thought it would be difficult Maths questions instead.

But as a declared first timer, I hope that still can give me a chance in the chances of a successful application.

So now I will now wait. Btw I have to check status in the DXO portal online? Or do I email the Hr person in charge after 2 weeks if I haven't received any follow up by then?
