Don’t know about chances of being converted to perm staff but they give you 4 months leeway time to look for another dxo job on the portal after your contract ends

I see, thanks for the response!

:)
 

Hi, mind to share the timeline you took? :) what position did you apply for? TIA

my g50 took around 3 weeks if i recall correctly.

if depends on how fast they process it for you.

last time they got someone to call me a few days after the submission that helps to process the g50 information. just rmb that SAF is always clearing g50 (for OCS, postings, recruitment and contractor) so sometimes it takes longer if they don't expedite it.

this coming week

applied on 24 feb so far no reply... sian

what position did u apply for? Don’t sian, a lot of us are in the same boat.

not even PT test?


I went for PT on the 12/02 also no reply yet..

Dxo
 

Hi fellows, who have knowledge on the hiring process or have the experience on DXO job applications/interview.. good day to you.

I have qns, I’m 37 this year currently working for a stat board. Been applying for a DXO position in IT. Private Advance Diploma in IT. What are my chances in getting a interview or hired by MINDEF? I applied for a diploma position in MINDEF portal. Been trying for nearly 4years but didn’t manage to secure a interview this far. Should I stop applying for Mindef positions already since I’m not being even selected for PT/interview?

TIA..

MINDEF is quite picky on who they select actually. Perhaps your salary is too high for the position?

Had my PT test earlier this year, been applying for a few position but so far no update/news from them?

Anyone in the same shoes

Mindef
 

Hi, thankful for your response.

my salary I quoted even lowest (eg: lower than a FCH local u graduate with no experience) also didn’t manage to get a call up for interview. Not sure why?

About Interview
 

Hi,

Any kind soul recently went for first interview can share on their PT date?

TIA!

paper still plays a big part. if you quote more than 3k, you probably wont get it.

Interview
 

Hi there, anyone here who went for interview recently (in midst of the covid outbreak) ? Usually how long after the interview does HR get bk to you on the status?

Thank you.

I only done the pt recently and waiting for updates

waiting for three weeks after PT, receive the email no shortlisted. sad....

Anyone been for interview round recently? How long did they take to get back to you?

Went for my first interview last week, PT on Feb 26.

how long did you wait for them to inform you about shortlisted for interview after PT?

Merit Increment
 

Hihi, anyone knows how does the MI work for DXO scheme? I'm a Band II

what is the typical waiting time for security clearance? has anyone waited up to 2 or 3 months? tia

2.2-2.8 usually

Submitted my G50 on Jan 27th. Still waiting... Not sure why taking so long... a little worried wor.

yea submitted mine in jan also. did you call to ask?

Emailed the HR contact and she told me a few weeks back that security was pending and that the hiring manager will contact me directly. Haven't heard from either since.

I'm wondering how much of their work speed has been slowed because of the virus too.

yup just wondering if it’s normal that it’s taking this long. Been waiting for 2 months already

Have you gone for the medical yet?

They said would get back to me after interview in 2 weeks, but nearing week 3 still no news. Means gone case already?

waited for 2 weeks after pt and no news yet, is it bad?

I've got a question for those who have applied for DXO position while still employed elsewhere... is there any need to notify current employer while doing so?

I wouldn't have until something's more confirmed (currently waiting to do PT); what gave me pause was the personal particulars form, where they ask for things like all your supervisors' names and contacts (including current one). They won't start doing reference checks at this stage, surely?

(Is there a point where they do, though? Would rather supervisor find out from me than from random MINDEF personnel...)

Doubt
 

Is the economy good at the moment? I was told midst of processing your application and will update you on the status again. That means no hope?

I received the same thing too

How many months since you receive this type of email? Thanks
You apply degree holder job?

A few weeks. Yes I applied degree level job

I haven't heard back for 2 weeks after my interview. Am I likely not selected?

what do you mean

If they say processing my security clearance, means i get the job or is the initial stage of application?

Govt sector is like tat. usually security clearance is last "stage". More like they offer u the job already,you already got it but contingent to whether u pass or fail the clearance. so if not cleared,den the job offer is rescind ah. Fastest 1 month, longest around 3 months just for clearance.

Preview
 

Hi, can someone here advise what is unit preview? Do we need to prepare anything for the preview?
Thanks!
