Thanks so much for sharing!

HR called to give me an estimate of 3.5k and I have applied for HR position. My previous experience was customer related. Passed with merit degree; no NS. But that is not a confirmed figure hoping they can offer more if I passed the first interview. Surely from what you have described, I think I have been low-balled lol. Were you fresh graduate when you joined?

Any idea what HR positions are based in CMPB?

applied on mid sept, received an email for document submission after 3 days, it has been 1 month past since i submitted the doc, no calls/email for interview or PT,, will there be a rejection email send out, or silent treatment?
Position applied: HR executive.

Is this executive or mgr post may I ask?

Applied last week but have not heard back except for the auto-generated acknowledgement email. Anyone here experienced the same? Getting a bit worried as most indicate they get invitation for PT quite fast after application. TIA.

i was a fresh graduate.

3.5k seems fair for no NS. with NS, usually they will give 300 more based on my observations. around 100 more for each class of degree. If your previous experience has no relation to the HR job you are applying, then no benefit is given.

CMPB probably has finance, HR, research, Pub relations depts.

Just received not further shortlisted. Haiz waste of time.

ns is worth about 200-300.

i think 3.5 sounds right for the current market. where is your degree from - with honours?

Attended first interview and I was told that it is not exactly a HR position but more customer related.
Three other candidates were present as well.
I hoping they can offer a more comprehensive package given that the location is quite far. Fingers crossed...

I applied for their manager role.

Convenient to share if you are based in CMPB?

What is the longest wait between unit preview and being offered? I have been waited for 3 weeks after unit preview but no news and I did not receive any rejection email. Is there still chance?

I think 6 or 7 weeks for me lol then after the successful selection another 1mth + of wait

Wa that was quite long. I emailed HR but no response from them. The issue is I have a job offer now but thinking whether to accept.

try extend the offer? I think apply dxo quite hard to concurrently find other jobs ehh since the wait will be long unless u get rejected

Yeap i try to ask. Actually this is my 4th week after unit preview. Is rejection usually faster like not even up to a month?

This one really hard to say... but so far seems like no news is a good news. if u really into becoming dxo i suggest you continue to wait first and just keep applying if u couldnt get in.

Waiting game.
 

Hi, anyone went to psychometric test on 3rd oct & yet to received any news back? Been waiting & not sure if should wait longet for responds from mindef?

Have you tried contacting the HR? What position did u apply?

Depends on how many person went for unit preview.

Freelance/ affiliate marketing
 

Hi guys, im a software engineer in one of the stats board and am thinking of doing some freelance or affiliate marketing during my free time. Is it allowed? It wont affect my daily work but is it considered moonlighting or do I just have to declare to HR?

Since it is already submitted earlier on, does anyone know if it is required to bring resume for the interview?

=D
 

Nope, it is not needed

=D
 

While normally, no news is good news. It also mean you are not first choice for the roles...if the first person reject or fail the remaining test, then they will come back to you, hence it take so long for some people

Life as dxo
 

I signing my contract soon after a long wait 😁 anyone care to share how life is as a dxo?

=D
 

Possible to share how is your application journey ?

culture depends on where your office is and your role.

where will you be based?

Anyone here had the experience (or heard of instances) of being called up for PT or interview more than 2 weeks after application? It has been 2 weeks since I applied and nothing heard...

[QUOTE=Unregistered;124614]Anyone here had the experience (or heard of instances) of being called up for PT or interview more than 2 weeks after application? It has been 2 weeks since I applied and nothing heard...[what did you apply?]

hi everyone, i just started work as a dxo recently. have been following this thread ever since i submitted my application and learned quite a bit. thought i should also contribute by sharing my personal timeline:

T+0: submitted application
T+1 week: received email from HR to attend psychometric test (test dates given are between T+3 weeks to T+5 weeks)
T+4 weeks: went for psychometric test at DTTB
T+5 weeks: informed by HR (through phone + email follow up) that i was shortlisted for interview
T+6 weeks: went for interview at DTTB (had to do some written tests before the interview)
T+8 weeks: informed by prospective RO (through phone) and subsequently HR (through phone + email follow up) to attend site preview
T+9 weeks: went for site preview (received verbal confirmation of offer from prospective RO during site preview)
T+10 weeks: received verbal offer from HR with ballpark salary + scheduling of medical examination
T+11 weeks: went for medical examination at CMPB
T+13 weeks: recieved offical offer from HR + scheduling of contract signing
T+14 weeks: went to sign contract at DTTB

Usually after 2 weeks they do not reply, u can treat it as unsuccessful.
This is indicated in acknowledgment email.

Interview
 

Anyone here had their PT on 23 Oct been called up for interview?

Hi, may I know what kind of written test? Cybersec, IT?

had pt on 25 Oct but follow ups yet.

sorry typo, I meant no follow up yet.

there were two sections of essay questions.. one section was to test language skills (grammar, vocab, sentence structure).. the other section was on job-specific knowledge.. at least this was what i understood from my bosses subsequently..

What did you apply for? I applied for procurement.

Second upper fresh grad pay?

If you are already a DXO, how do you apply for post grad scholarships?

Thanks, sounds like policies related managers.

Likely i have seen you in the room. my test was on 25 Oct too. Sadly no calls or email from HR.

read from page 1 . from what I see from this forum.98% is degree holder.

I applied on 3 nov.diploma related job.local poly diploma.7yrs working experiences.for diploma I assume no PT right.

anyone has called up for an interview yet?
