Hi Hermit. Thank you for sharing your career advice: "academic qualifications only facilitates the entry into an organization. After entry, it is one's performance that counts."

Now, I have a few questions:
1) after one year, when I have completed masters degree, if I cannot find a job, should I go back to the Police force as a SSGT? The salary is abt $3200.

I am having that option as a back-up plan. It may feel insulting to some. But it is really ok to me.

I know my weaknesses: weak written and spoken English. I feel that in order to do well in the Public Service as a graduate, one's grasp of the English language is extremely impt. You need to write policy papers, reports, take minutes, write long e-mails and others.

I need to tap on your life experience: Do u think you think being able to speak and write well is important as a graduate in the Public Service?

I regret not going on to a JC after my 'O' levels. JC is where one's basic academic skills are polished.
