If no 1 rejects, they offer to no 2.

Yes. Unit is the “dept” you work in.

New hiring process

I had tried for MINDEF 6 years ago. At that time around 2017/2018, you had to indicate 3 positions. HR will shortlist you and send you for psychometric test and that is where you will know which position you have been shortlisted for.

I didn’t make it then. Went to another gov agency. 6 years of experience.

Recently, I applied for 2 posts and they took very long to come back to me. But when they did, I was surprised to find out that I was contacted by 2 separate units.

The SM/Branch Head of the 2 divisions called me via phone for a phone interview. They laid down job expectations and we chatted. I was very surprised to know that there is no more psychometric test?

I passed the phone screening for the 2 positions and I was further shortlisted to go for unit interviews on 2 different dates.

Hence, I want to know:

1. For those who have underwent the new hiring process (suppose within the past 6 months), what was your hiring timeline and experience?

2. How do you do well for the unit interview? I think its a face to face interview and they will bring you around like the unit preview segment under the old hiring process? What questions do you ask the staff during unit preview? How do you break the ice?

Thanks in advance!!
