3. Wah...why you got 2nd lower? So wasted. You seem a bit old for your 1st job. Got experience? If not, anything above 2.6k would be ok.
4. If it was full-time, it counts. But you must cook up a story to how the experience is relevant. Developing lessons = handling projects. Teaching = dealing with people and meeting their needs. Phrase it correctly but don't say teaching so direct...turnoff.
-5 day week, very regular hours. Very go home on time.
-There is a retirement age but MM suggest no need to retire so...anyway, I don't think you want to worry about this. Unless you are really going to stick with MOM for the next 30 yrs. |
LOL Bobo, really direct of you, but many thanks for your replies.
i'm 27 turning 28 this apr.
anyways, which is a ministry that is easy to enter? I'm actually looking at the DXO, however from the feedbacks that i have gathered it seems difficult to enter with all of the psychometric tests.
yes, regarding your comments on the HR, i have the same opinion from my engineer frens that it is essentially a support position and seems like there is no room for growth.
what would you recommend for me?
I hope to achieve the following:
1. 5 days work week
2. regular hours
3. low in politics (my damned work now is 60% politics work)
4. stability and hopefully recession proof (hospital roles like admin?)
5. so for 2.6k starting, would i be placed at the MX13
6. you mentioned that i am too old for my first job so will i be at a disadvantage?
7. what are the chracteristics/traits that i should possess for govt positions?
8. which govt would you recommend me with my hopes as above
thank you once again
