mean 660/4000 = ~16% increment ?

Would like to find out what are the qualities and qualification needed to be a full time facilitator at RP. TIA!

Hi guys
maybe a bit off topic, but since the poly's also have B schools ...

some pvt b schools (not high end) hv shown some interest to me to teach MBA/ BBA course s as full time Lecturer but they are talking only salary of $3.5K pm (incl Employer CPF contrib)

I have an MBA from one of Asia s top biz schools and 20 years Financial industry experience

I feel they should be offering at least 5.5 K ? - (adjusting for the fact that education salaries are much lower than industry)

Can anyone give me some idea about what I shoud ask for ?

but to become a poly lecturer dont you have to go thru and NIE first? i believe they expect you to have some teaching exp?

[Javin]

is there anyone who has been a poly lecturer. maybe some of the requirements they one should have before switching careers. E.g. number of years of working exp, education level or teaching qualifications?

Pls advice.

you need relevant industry exp.....for some poly, at least 4 years exp, for some other poly, fresh grad from uni can also apply...but comes with lower pay...

at least a degree for some poly, for some other poly, a master is a must..

no need to have teaching qualification....no need to go thru NIE...poly has internal course to teach you how to teach

haha, bozo (what an interesting nickname)... asia's top biz school? haha... does it matter?

sounds like you're a foreigner (lemme guess.... from india?). 3.5k is already too high in my opinion. i would offer you 3k.

i see at least 4 yrs of working exp?

Questions:
1) what age group does people normally enter into POLY teaching?
2) What is PAX?
3) Does ex moe teaching gives you an edge?
