MINDEF DXO (All FAQ on it)

Thank you!

Med check up depends on the schedule of the CMPB med ctr. Usually once you’re offered they will be able to the schedule something the follow week.

Anyway, including med and security. The process should take at least 1 month from the verbal offer because you need 1-1.5 mths (depending on the level of access, higher cat the longer time) for g50 clearance and another 2-3 weeks for the computer access.

jiayou, at least you received an invitation for interview within a month compared to most of us here waiting for the interview call/rejection. Based on the posts, you should reapply and they will call you around a week for another interview.

Hi all,

I went for PT on 24th April and just got a call detailing that I was not shortlisted for the jobs I applied for as they already have candidates. HR told me to send in 3 new choices. Just wondering if I should send in applications within the same department or mix it with others (eg. 1 HR job, 1 Comms job). Thanks!

Hi, may I know which 3 position did you applied for?

this is sort of a 'fail safe' to filter those who are book smart or are really innately smart/capable.

example. an engineering student with third class honour degree may be much better than a art student with 2nd upper. just because he took a harder course and got a much lower grade, it doesn't reflect reality/real potential. mindef jobs require certain caliber.

of course, this is just one point of reference. other ministry might have other methods.

Is MINDEF’s pay and bonuses higher than the rest of the ministries since defence budget is high?

I applied for 3 communications roles. External and internal communications. I forgot the last one. What about you?
