MINDEF DXO (All FAQ on it)

You would be contacted within 2 weeks if you are shortlisted. If you've waited more than 2 weeks but no news, time to move on...

When i do check the AI bot, it says that my application is being reviewed. Does this mean i'm not considered or does it usually take much longer for HR to call you up for a interview?

TIA!

I'd say give it 2-3 weeks! I hear some people get contacted after much longer too. In the meantime, cast your net wider by applying for other roles too

Got an interview next week. How far is MINDEF building from the pass office? Is it a super long walk? Uphill?

How much time should I cater for changing of pass and walking?

You should cater at least 20 mins. Walk slowly and don’t sweat.

Once you pass the Gombak gate you still need to walk about 5-10 more mins. There are lockers on top for your phone

My two cents is to take a cab to the taxi stand. Don’t bother walking in this kind of weather nowadays.

Good luck. Gate can be very far from where you need to be.

What role did you apply for?

The pass office is at foot of the hill. You need to change pass there before making your way up. If I were to do this again I’ll book a GetGo or TribeCar, and ask for the interviewer to help clear my vehicle in.

It’s not actually a tiring walk but this weather is crazy

I’m MX11A in a SB with bad WLB

I got a DX12 verbal offer and also a MX10 offer from a Ministry

And surprise, the DX12 offer is higher than the MX10

I asked Mindef HR for the ceiling of DX12 but they are unable to share

So my question is - is anyone able to share if the DX12 ceiling is higher than MX10 $12,300 ceiling?

Both jobs do the same corporate function, which is same as what I’m doing now. but it seems the Mindef job is lower workload based on the chitchat with the hiring manager. Basically more hands to do same work. Got NSF clerks to do grunt work

I’m inclined to go with DXO but if the ceiling is too much lower then in the longer term it would be better to take MX10

40s already. Time to farm to retirement

DX12 ceiling is around 11k.
