Very obvious they have no financial background at all. During 1 of the AGM I chat with the IR specialist and was quite surprise when she said she just recently transfered from HR event management side.

I am the poster of #6. Thank you guys for offering the insights to IR work. I invest in stocks myself, and understand the importance of these financials to investors/analysts. As a person, I prefer to be in-the-know and cannot stand being clueless on the work I handle. In fact, I have done some research, and came to know about the IRPAS (Investor Relations Professionals Association Singapore); was thinking of going for this course if i were to switch to IR one day. --> International Certificate in Investor Relations. ://.irpas.com/html/courses_details.php?id=1
Anyone have heard of or attended this course before? And what would the pay for IR jobs be like? Would it be as competitive as what Stat boards pay their corpcomms ppl?
Also what about corpcomms at GLCs (lets assume we are talking about non -listed ones)? For those with corp comms background, would you choose corpcomms at Stat Boards, GLC, MNC, or PR agencies? Do come and share your experience!
