i am interested to join DXO i read online that DXO is so specialised that there are little exit options later on, and the prospects are not as good as being in the MX scheme where one can transfer in the service than for DXO to quit-and-rejoin.

Been rejected after site preview, offered another position but no news almost 1 week after the interview. From previous replies and personal experience, invitation for site preview will come in usually same day/next day. Is it no hope liao... sigh such a gruelling process.

are all graduates emplaced on 'Manager' roles? I see some roles on the website that requires a tertiary qualification titled for 'Assistant Manager'
what's the difference between that and 'Assistant Manager'? does the pay differ? |

Is there anyone who went for interview recently? If yes, when did you take your PT and what role did you applied for? TIA!

Hi all, I have been reading up on DXO and am interested to join the service. Just wanted to ask any current DXOs: how transferrable are your skills sets not only to the pte sector but also other govt agencies? I heard that DX scheme generally pays better than MX, but strangely it seems that MINDEF doesn't have a good reputation as it should for a Ministry that gets the one of the largest budgets and deals with crucial defence and security.
I wonder why is this so? Is it due to the general negative sentiment of NS, or perhaps the red tape and deadweights? If I am concerned about better exposure/opportunities and transferrable skill sets, would I be better off applying to other Ministries? Thanks very much. |

After applying online, the 1st stage of the selection process is a PT. If you are new and want to know more, just read the first 100 pages of this thread. The style is still the same. |

not everyone wants to be a engineer, banker or work in a private MNC. they see value in serving the country and do something useful. some value work life balance. some are contented with life. i cant believe i am answering this qn though.. you must live in a shell. DXO has progression, just not as easy if you are a non-scholar. also to promote, the position above you has to be vacant. im sure this is similar to any company. |
Quote:
i think for most jobs, if changing department would also require an interview. they just don't parachute you there because you want to - that is maybe true for scholars. |
I have not been called up for an interview yet but instead i received an email stating that they are still processing and will get back to me in 3-4weeks' time.
Able to advise what does this mean since normally they will either call you or reject after the PT? |

Sometimes they need to coordinate things like 1. PT results (Psychology Br) 2. Profile selection (Hiring Manager) As highlighted in earlier posts, either of the following happens at stage 2: A. hiring managers might want to wait for more applicants before come to interview OR B. the position you applied is undergoing selection (i.e., you missed the boat to current round if a selection takes place) OR C. you may have not been shortlisted to interview. If they subsequently offer a candidate during stage 2B, then you will move down to your 2nd preference, and repeat stages all over onwards. Sometimes if all three choices are exhausted, then they will invite you to apply to other positions I think just be patient and hope for the best!! |
do DXO get free medical (11b) like NSFs in polyclinic and in-camp medical centres?

What is DX10 - manager or assistant director?

Dx 9-11 you may not have anyone reporting to you. NSF not counted. You may have 10 or none.
Your external title is am M SM, but your internal title is simply officer, or deputy head, or head. Most roles of DX is not to manage subordinates, but to coordinate with various stakeholders. These stakeholders usually don't report to you, but you will lean on the rank of the person you report to, and play rank to get things done. SAF has way to many departments and way too many layers due to nuances in procedures. Every simple thing needs minimum 3 approvals and you must know who are these 3 in order to do things fast. Sometimes even the person u want things from don't know who need to approve. Then you must know otherwise its stuck there. But yes I understand title matters for bragging rights and for re-entering private subsequently. |
is there a pay revision after the 1st year probation period or is that the regular MI for civil servants, or both?
|
Quote:
MI is separate and will start from April. pro-rated if you have not reached 1 year by April. For your estimate, after in service 3 years, you will probably have an total increase of about 1k, assuming C grades. |
Quote:
Does that mean that when i reach 1 year mark, then my MI will be full 100%? Say if i join in June, then MI will be 50% prorated since I only worked half the year, and 100% after i pass the 1 year mark? |
