MINDEF DXO (All FAQ on it)

Hi guys,
I first posted on this forum on 15 Aug 19, & have finally found the time to share my exp regarding the hiring process:

Early May: applied for position A (DXO)
Mid May: attended psychometric test
Early/ Mid June: was rejected but my records will be retained in the system
Early/Mid July: applied for position B
Mid Aug: first interview, site visit
Early Sep: offered position, medical clearance
Mid Sep: started work

Hope this gives y'all better insight on the hiring timeline.
Good luck!

I’ve submitted my application online in mid Oct and HR emailed me few days later to get me to submit relevant documents, personal particulars form and passport sized photo. I’ve submitted all required by end of Oct. Till now, they have not contacted me. Have emailed to HR 3 times to check and everytime they can only replied that they are still in the midst of processing my application and will update me my application status. My question is am I shortlisted for the position applied, since they have asked for my documents and photo? And I am required to fill up a very detailed personal particulars form, similar to the G50 form. Have been waiting for more than a month. Of course I have been actively looking for other jobs as well. Anyone who has the same situation as me?

Can anyone share the DXO salary scale? Thank u

Is there a way to know which DXO works with fellow DXO and not NSFs? Or is it generally DXO role works with NSFs?

you mostly work with other regulars, rather than NSFs.

maybe in some roles, you would have to manage a few NSFs cause they work on projects/work for you. in most other roles, possibly reporting to either a major/ltc/sltc/col/generals.

They sent me an invitation for the previous role i applied for haha, at least some news/progression is good

Just been informed that one of the job position i applied for is a contract position...anyone know anything about that?

Anyone heard from them recently? Been close to 2 months since taking the psychometric
