SIM-UOL fresh grad starting pay

There are just too many "what if" to consider. What if the SIM grad is more capable than the NUS grad. What if the local Uni grad has a poor working attitude. What if the SIM grad has more experience.

By the way, I won't be able to understand why someone would choose SIM accountancy over NTU/SMU/NUS accountancy. It only tells me the kind of decision making skills that the person possesses.

Dear applicant,

What if you had done well and had gone to NTU?

You will be hired.

Dear hiring manager,

Will u select one who got cde and went to engineering in ntu (third class and lower)or one who got bcd and went to sim(second upper and above)? Your advice is appreciated.

Assuming there are no other candidates, i will pick the one who got NTU 3rd class. I was once from NTU and I know what it takes to attain a 3rd class honours. I can't speak for other hiring managers or organisations but this is what i would do. In a nutshell, I recognise it and I am keen to interview the 3rd class engineering grad from NTU. In my opinion, the 3rd class graduate can easily get 2nd upper or 1st class in SIM.

Don't get me wrong. I am not showing any disrespect or discriminating against anyone. Neither am I here to challenge or change anything. Someone else could have chosen another candidate instead, and I respect that. It's just the way i select prospective employees for my organisation.

I am currently doing my internship at UTAS. I notice that the engineers are usually from NUS and NTU (except for some lao jiaos who worked there since the beginning of time) while the private degree holders (e.g. MDIS, UOL) take on the role of production planners. For the case of the latter, i think a diploma would suffice.

I got a 3rd class honours from NTU Materials Engineering (cos i dabao twice). Subsequently, being rejected by SMU/NTU for their MBA course, I enrolled in SIM program. As a matter of fact, I emerged as one of the top two amongst my cohort. Though it is not as prestigious as the local Uni, it is something for me at to say the least.

Seriously, UOL students stop talking about LSE. I was previously from SP, GPA 2.5. Enrolled into UOL, close eyes 2nd upper class in banking. UOL is trash in the outside world, wake up now if you don't wanna get a shock when looking for jobs.

Did you study harder after you enter UoL? Or did you just scrape through to 2:1?

Most of these pte degrees the only way to fail is to not turn up for exams or fail to pay school fees, other than that everyone get some sort of honours no matter what. Companies also know that, so pte grads always end up like some low class employee that is slightly better than a diploma.

depends on hiring manager. i am a UOL grad and am eternally grateful to the hiring manager who gave me a chance to get me where i am today. hence i will look at least take a look and single out some pte uni grads as well although sometimes the quality leaves much to desire.

if u come across an elitist HR manager (of which there are many out there) then u don't stand a chance at all.
