Hello and welcome!
To be honest, like what the above post mention (and see the rest of the civil service timeline and salary), the service focuses a bit on qualification.
Yes, going for an executive possible and then getting to a part-time degree with help from
MINDEF.
I advise you to apply something closer to your qualifications. Otherwise, it may be hard to justify and even promote in the longer run since most of the regulars officers and DXO would have a degree qualification.
I think most managers post in Training and OD are 'staff' position - tabling papers and etc, so there are a lot of writing involved, and hence they would definitely prefer someone with degree qualification.
just try for it, you never try you never know!

But my priority changed now as I would like to earn a higher salary for investments to generate more income for my future. My current salary is $2200. From $1300 when I first started as a Gardener Intern when I was 23.
Most likely I will be trying for an executive position since Managers level require a tertiary education, I'm quite sure they are only looking at degree. Is it possible to work my way up from there? Or eventually I will still need a degree to get promotions?
I am also interested in applying for the Training/HR/OD departments as I got keen interest in them. |
