MINDEF DXO (All FAQ on it)

yup the previous person in the thread talked about colleague/senior, but i'm referring to former bosses, so i thought it's different (hierarchy wise).

but anyway i think it's more formal & relevant to put ex-boss than friends as referees...

its your call.

ever thought of those who are fresh grads? who are they gonna put? thats why friends are accepted. anyway for MINDEF referees, i believe its more for security clearance, rather than asking for your previous job performance.

just put ur best friend of 20 years or something. it's fine. i think better to put friends than colleagues cos it's just a character reference rather than work performance.

yes. just put "N/A".

I sat on 18 May and still haven't heard back heh.

How long usually will u hear back from them after the interview?

Panel interview? Mine was about 1 week, but I am applying for a DXEA post.

I was asked to complete PT on 01 June but there is still no follow up till date..?
Does anyone know if this is the norm for shortlisting people?
I really hope they don't reject candidates who awaited for outcome after like 1 month+ (it's pretty agonizing..)
