Nope, it's like a school exam.

I was thinking knowing ppl inside who got contacts with the hiring managers can help tip the odds

Hmmm, is quite hard, cos the HR people don't work with the hiring manager. Usually easier to get shortlisted for interview if someone from the hiring department refer you in.

As for getting the job, it all depends on you and the hiring manager. No one can help le.

Just too bad.. you got to pay for parking and pay for your lunches

Hi all, i intend to apply for some finance positions for DXOs. Are they mainly stationed at mindef or cmpb? Or possible tat they could be stationed at some army camps or airbases etc?

Every camp actually has a finance division or sth akin to that, so it can seriously be anywhere.

Depends leh, knowing someone in HR probably wont help at all. I had a friend who technically pulled string. He was a medic with me at one of the medical centres, closer to ORD, he asked our DXO supervisor if he can sign on. Of course, supervisor say okay, more help at the medical centre means less work for him. Although the position was only for degree holders, my supervisor managed to get him an interview and he got the job. Of course, my friend is an extremely reliable person. He only had a diploma so they sent him for part-time degree as well.

So it depends who you know. I think if you know someone within the department or unit you want to head to, its possible. But if you only know the HR person, it wont work.

Even if i have to die, i will never work for mindef. LOL!!!

Hello guys, any chances for applicant from SIM RMIT to be even shortlisted for the test? Thanks!
