FCH usually straight up 500 more than a normal pass degree, good for you, get more money just for studying hard in NTU/NUS Worth it or not is highly subjective to your needs. With FCH your potential is deemed higher than others, keep being loyal and promotions will come for free. You may not become rich in the office but you have time to pursue passive income. I know of people who are rich in banks, but they work 16 hour days, sometimes weekends. Per hour yield their salary is no better than intern who go home on time. Yes they drive big car and have a nice house. You decide what character are you. |

Safety Investigation
Hi, thought some here might have gone for the same PT session this morning. Was thinking if there’s any insights on the Safety Investigation post? And the likely DX grade for this post (mid-career, some investigation-related experience)?

Interview
I was asked during my interview whether FT ministers like Janil Puthucheary should serve NS instead of avoiding it by giving excuses like saving babies. How should I answer it?
|
What’s your real opinion on it? If you disagree, it’s ok to be honest but be factual, not aggressively anti-govt. if anti-govt, why work in public service, right? Haha.
There’s also no point in saying something which you don’t believe in. Because they can tell. |
anyone know the salary range for title "Manager"

hi, just curious if there are currently any DXOs here who are private degree holders? (eg. from RMIT/UOL/UB)
I have a friend who is currently working as a DXO (diploma holder) and she informed me that all of her colleagues (degree holders) are from local universities. I understand that naturally MINDEF would prioritise local university graduates and tend to hire more of them as well. However, I'm a private degree holder and I took the PT yesterday. Not a fresh grad, I do have 3 years of working experience where i had to liaise with MINDEF personnel (regulars/NSmen/DXOs) due to the nature of my job and another 2.5 years of experience which is relevant to the position I applied for. Just wondering if there is a possibility for me to score an interview (provided I did well for the PT) and that they would consider people like me who are from private universities? |

Cant say which dept but one of the main ministries. Was given MX12, pay on par with local grads for 2nd-lower hons. So just keep whacking haha

my degree is also private, from SIM-AUS. before I obtained my higher degree from NTU, straight rejection 5 years in a row, not even step into PT. The moment I keyed in my higher degree, the system stopped sending me rejection email within 2 working days. Yes, this shows that the system is still rather dogmatic, not really pragmatic, despite all the sales talk around August. I have waited almost 2 months from PT to interview, and almost 1 month to finally "site visit" next week. No news is good news. Finally, for non-uniformed, the salary is usually below the market. |

3 days become 5 days Pt-interview from 1 week become 1 month Interview-preview from 1 week become 1 month From the info I gathered, if you are not the top choice, you possibly wait another 1 month from site preview, praying for the top candidate to reject the offer before it comes to you. No news is good news! |
DXO Job Locations
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows how the job locations for DXO is decided? How do I know if certain jobs are based in CMPB or camps? Thanks! |
Yes I would love to know how the locations are chosen as well, some of them are too far from home but it’s not possible to tell during the initial job application period

Hi there i do understand every estab got different salary scale but i would like to check with u all the MINIMUM/LOWEST i can expect to get..
assuming im applying for a manager position, not sure if it is DX9, I graduated from suss and lets just ASSUME that among all the local university,it is ranked LAST.. My degree dont have a honours system, only got pass or pass with merit so lets just treat as i only get PASS,no full time work experience also. Which means most likely im getting the lowest among the salary scale for dx9 and how much would i receive most likely? I've completed NS also. Does 3k BASIC per month sounds okay for a dx9 position based on whatever i have mentioned above (ranked last local uni, Degree with PASS, NO work experience)? or still can ask for higher. |

If u have no transport and the camp is far - most are inconvenient - you may be asked the golden question--are you willing to travel. Actually be glad they ask. Some just don't shortlist you, especially fresh grad. No experience to offer yet high risk of lateness and resignation. |

People without amazing qualification should steer clear from public sector. Their benchmark weighting is heavy on paper qualification. |

That sounds alot. but then at the same time,some say is 2.6 some is 2.8 but i believe each job position got their own salary scale right? Like for eg, if its 3k, u ask for 2.8, they will still give u 3k because thats the lowest point (3k, and there is also a highest point) in the salary scale under its policy, cannot anyhow give so sure got one amount is the correct one. but if its 3.5 for a hr position then quite worth because HR degree holders, no work exp can only start as a HR recruiter first. Usually hr jobs on job portals, only hr recruiter can join as no experience. No such thing as hr learning and development entry level job,no experience needed or compensation and benefits specialist, no work experience needed. Also, hr recruiter dont really require a degree (o level cert also can be one) to be one (something like marketing/business cert, dont need marketing cert to do marketing etc) so no exp hr recruiter job for degree usually is around 1.8 to 2k basic. so if its 3.5, thats like two times more sia ,the salary (1.8 x2) |
Sadly I somewhat agree

How many people are glad to take 3k and work 10-12 hours a day with no guarantee of 13th month or bonus? But on the flip side, I still hear of people getting 4k with minimum exp for programming and financial jobs in public service so, could be demand and supply. Could also be ego inflated numbers. |
Query on expected salary

Compare Apple with Apple
Quote:
If you compare the package of a recruitment consultant, 3k is basic pay. Commission can double it. Then we are comparing Apple with Apple. However job security is non existant. Yes, each field has its salary scale. But in this sense ministry never low ball. If u put 2k they will calculate accordingly and pay u the minimum 3.5k the system says u deserve. Stat board for sure loves to low ball, especially if their financial statement is consistently in the red. |
hmm i know what ur talking about but i actually tried applied jobs since last year already 100 over jobs. so far i havent see a HR graduate (degree), totally no work experience allows them to get 3k basic monthly for recruiter or hr entry level position eh? While the dx9 allows no experienced hr graduates to apply for and offers around 3k for lowest amount they will receive.
That's why i was wondering why u mentioned about apples vs oranges haha.. Like on the job portal, even for HR degree holder, no experience,the job salary range is around 1.8k to 2k basic based on what i saw (for HR). And the degree and diploma pay for hr personnel dont differ much, is like the same, 1.8 to 2.0k .. Which is why my assumption on Hr recruiter dont need degree to be one,which is why the 1.8 to 2.0k salary range. For the 3k basic monthly salary u talking about, i have seen jobs that offer this amount but it is based on things like 3-5 years work experience hr degree holder. and those like 1 to 3 years probably is like max mid 2k range (even for HR generalist position) |

ya i saw recruit express, basic salary even for degree holder,no experience at all also around 1.3k to 1.6k like that.

Hi, been a week since my interview and still no news. Saw many posts saying how they called back within days if successful. So I suppose it's a no-go?
