I didn't get any acknowledgement email too.
Same here. i just applied(27th July) thru their application form. Received no confirmation or acknowledgement email on my application. Now this form is so much easier to fill as compared to the one i filled in Feb. Just that it is annoying that we have to refill everything if we are applying for another position.

On the other hand, i applied for DXO in feb, went PT in March. Submitted the documents shortly. All happen probably by 1st week of Apr. Until now, no sound no picture of my earlier application.

So now, reapplying for other opening. Finger cross.

Did you attend any interviews for your earlier application, or just PT?

timeline depends on your level of clearance. i waited 6 weeks or so because boss wanted me to be cleared at a higher level. but end up took too long.. did the basic one first(just some forms when you submit at CMPB). then followed up higher clearance when in job.
6 weeks is after the face-to-face security clearance or from verbal offer?

Hope it helps.

Cheers.
This is SO NOT true.

Anyone actually receive any kind of follow up email after submitted your personal particulars/resume/cert? i.e if accept i guess someone will call to schedule an interview. How about reject? Will they follow up with an email?

Nope, I studied overseas.
But earlier this year, I went for site preview for a different position and got rejected afterwards. That was my 1st ever application to DXO and never heard back for subsequent applications already..

Unregistered 03-08-2020 09:15 PM
How long does it takes to get an email from them? I applied for a role, but no news..

Unregistered 05-08-2020 03:13 PM

is that a manger or executive role?

maybe they are removing PT now due to Phase 2? not sure.

but yes, if they call you again it is likely unit preview. good luck!

Fresh grad from SIM may be more difficult to enter. Maybe gain some years of relevant experience first, then apply as a Mid-Career applicant if you really wanna come in to serve.

Unregistered 11-08-2020 09:23 AM
When you guys rejected, they email you?

Hi I heard that there is a "glass ceiling" in terms of career progression for DXO who are wospec/enlisted in NS. Anyone can confirm/debunk this? Thanks

False. Your prior rank in service does not affect your progression.

There is however a glass ceiling in terms of your job scope/title (as well as unit headcount) as most positions have a DX level cap.

For example, an NS/Media Relations Manager has a DX13 cap while a policy analyst with MINDEF has their ladder all the way up to superscale. While both hire entry-level guys at DX9/10, the progression opportunity is different.
