I agree that i may not be their first choice but I thought it's more efficient to submit G50 for me in case their first choice rejected the offer.

Based on past responses on this thread, I think normally when they ask you start G50 process means more or less ‘selected’ liao. G50 is a long process though, don’t think HR will waste time&resources to ask candidate go for that process unless more or less shortlisted for the position.

There are some DXOs with SIM / pte uni degrees.

Some got the degree after they joined Mindef.

It is not normally displayed in name cards.

Does mindef sent out rejection email? Anyone received it recently?

Apparently, it is not in the SOP.

Anyone successfully applied for their Technology openings at SID?

OP of this. Just an update of my timeline:

Early Feb: First Interview
Early Feb (few days later): Writing assignment
Mid Feb: Second interview
Early March (2 weeks after): HR contacted to submit G50
Mid March: Submitted G50
Early April: Attended vetting session
Mid April (2 weeks after): HR contacted for documents submission + medical declaration form
Early May: Was informed security clearance cleared
End May (about 1 week after): HR called to inform salary package

Will be signing contract either this week or next week. So in total took about 4 months. Clearance took about 8 weeks for me. Good luck to everyone else that’s waiting!

Have you signed the contract?

i received an email to submit my qualification and payslip via impress.ai.

Does that means they have actually selected me?

anyone knows how long SID typically takes to provide outcome of interview? for successful and unsuccessful candidates
