I know it sounds discouraging, but the truth is I doubt recruiters in the market including the public sector would consider that as 8 years of senior level management experience. In terms of both pay and job complexity, most would equate that as a middle or mid-low level management in public sector/GLC and maybe even non-management senior associate level in bigger MNCs. Anyway since you want to take on admin roles, there's really no need to restrict yourself to a school AM. There's plenty of opportunities in ministries and stat boards which are admin/planning in nature at around the AD/SM level which are IMO more suitable for you. Those jobs will also be more challenging/empowered and allow you to make use of your skills and in the process learn from colleagues who are at or higher than your level. Even if you get this job, you go in there do basic office work done by counterparts in their 20s and early 30s and get forever pay freezed due to cap without progression really not a good fit. |
please lah... a local charity employee with a fancy name card drama until like ur the president of US or China...

Its 2018. Admin Managers are under Executive and Administrative scheme. If you are in school, next level up is VP Admin, and if you are posted to HQ, look at the various staff postings available.... How big a role you want to play, you decide. http://www.moe.gov.sg/careers/execut...e-headquarters |
Awaiting news...

In between then, HR called to check on salary from a past employment and was told to wait for another couple more weeks....which is this week, presumably so, since the Xmas/NY break is officially over. But as per one SB HR has posted here... https://forums.salary.sg/income-jobs/...l#.WlM0bSOp2Rs perhaps I wasn't the first choice candidate either....nonetheless, keeping my fingers crossed... |

KPO, I read your postings and I believe you will be a good Manager for the school. I like what you said about making life easier for the teachers. Trust me, we need people like you to help lessen our admin load. I think you may not be MOE's first choice. That's why it is taking longer. Or maybe you are just parked in the pool waiting for upcoming vacancies. I know of admin managers waiting to leave after receiving their year end bonuses and there are people retiring too. With your credentials, you should try to apply for VP Admin. I understand they are recruiting now. All the best! |

Admin Manager usually reports to VP Admin, but the next level up is NOT VP. No VP in MOE school gets promoted from a Admin Manager. Please don't anyhow spread falsehoods just based on googling without understanding the situation. |

For KPO considering his/her age, realistically speaking it is best to join with the expectation to stay on as AM until retirement. As for the AM job itself, my take is one man's meat is another's poison. It all depends on what are your career goals - if you want a stable and balanced job with some opportunities for self-development as you go along and nice environment it's quite ok. But if you are the kind got grand vision, want to change the future and move up then this is not for you. |

Thank you for sharing. A stable and balanced job is all I am asking. A nice environment and opportunities for self-development would be added bonuses. Spoke to HR last Friday. She said she will call me back :) |
