MINDEF DXO (All FAQ on it)

Dont forget FIRST CLASS HONOURS can ask for 5k salary ok

Hi everyone, after attending unit preview, what is next? Saw from the previous forum's post, it seems to be getting a verbal offer/email from HR? Understand that there needs to be security clearance as well, but if you are selected, will they at least let you know? Or will they only contact you after your security clearance is done? And i saw something like they will ask you to go for medical checkups? Sorry for the bombardment of questions, just getting nervous due to radio silence after the unit preview.

Yes verbal offer will come, it's also when you get low balled and you try to negotiate. If you are a fresh grad too bad, suck it up and gain experience. Actually mindef is good experience, generally you won't have problems finding job after.

Yes of course you must clear the background checks. However you can start work before it's complete but your boss will know not to give u sensitive tasks.

Yes you must clear medical before u step into the office for insurance purpose. Since there is no group insurance your medical is just protocol.

Take note, fail any of the above you will still lose your job even after you signed. Its stated clearly in the contract.

No. All entry-level roles that accept fresh grads are pegged at the DX9 scale which is far from 5K. PSC scholars seconded to MINDEF are on the MX scheme instead so their pay is higher.

Uniformed services are entirely different from the DXO pathway.

Sounds about right

fresh grads... 2 years already, each batch still come out expecting high salary with no experience

Hi Everyone here,

Recently I went to submit my medical declaration form for DXO recruitment (received verbal offer for HR position), I have a history of High Blood Pressure (HBP) and have been on long-term medication. During NS my PES is C2L2, and today I got a call from the MO inside the camp and he asked me more questions about my HBP, but as over the years I was just on medication from my GP so I didnt went for any further blood test or medical checkups, thus there was not much I could tell the MO. Will this actually cause me to fail the medical clearance and affect my employment with MINDEF?
