MINDEF DXO (All FAQ on it)

Just scheduled for my PT 3 weeks later.. what a long wait

Anyone had the experience of going for Unit Preview, and then got rejected after that?

I would have thought that candidates are almost 'confirmed' when they get to the unit preview stage.

you must stand in the shoes of the hiring department. if they only pick you for unit preview and you rejected the job, they must restart the whole process again.

i am them, i would probably pick my best 3. at least when 1 or 2 rejects the job, i can get my man and start training him up asap. Thats the way how MINDEF works. the applicant also have the full rights not to take the job as much as they decide not to hire you.

and yes, 'almost confirmed', but you haven signed the contract.

completed PT 4 weeks ago but no rejection yet from HR. what is going on? should i continue waiting?

based on previous replies, no emails means continue waiting.

Does not hurt to continue job hunting while waiting.

Hi did you receive a call to tell you that you are rejected? I went for the Unit Preview nearly 3 week back, called HR last week but they told me the unit hasn't gotten back to them. Ya I thought the Unit Preview is like "more or less" confirmed too.

I got an email asking me to register for the PT today (Tue). I submitted the application on Mon. That's pretty fast compared to what I see in this thread.
