Oh NKF... Sorry I was under the impression you were a Executive Director in the public sector like a ministry or stat board, hence my reply was geared towards that. NKF's job titles are a completely different thing altogether.

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...

I mostly agree. But no need to be so negative as the TS just wants some encouragement to find a good stable job for his final career stretch. Have some empathy instead of attacking on all these unimportant details. Same thing might happen to you when you are 50.

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.

Awaiting news...
 

HI KPO. Not sure if you have got any reply from MOE so far? Hope you will have good news in the new year!

Thank you for your well wishes...

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!

Most support jobs that require tertiary education is considered under Executive and Administrative scheme. This is nothing new or unique to MOE.

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.

AM to VP is rare, but still possible. I know of a few who made it, but they are mostly very long serving staff like 20+ years of service in a particular school and some good principals will help them secure a VP slot in their school to reward loyalty.

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 :)

Hi KPO. That's good news. Hope you have already got something so far. I been to some interviews too. Although it was not mentioned outright, our age is definitely a factor in their consideration. Cheers.

Nope still no calls from HR but I did attend one interview with another organisation today.
I still prefer MOE.

Age is like that cup of water, half full or half empty...

She said she will call but still no news from MOE and my Careers Gov status is still as "shortlisted". By the way, its already 2 months since the first interview.

There is nothing I can do but proceed with other scheduled interviews...

usually how long does MOE get back? I just went for an interview at MOE in Jan and the HR mentioned that it takes 4-5 weeks to update me the outcome.

what position was that?

it is the admin manager post.

Anyone got invited to attend the 13th Feb information session for School Counsellor (For Applicants without Counselling Training) position?

Past successful applicants, could you share the selection process?

I am attending, have submitted the online personality test last night and just received an email indicating I was shortlisted on the career gov portal.

Hi. I am very keen on the ECG Counsellor position at MOE. Does anyone know if there is a time frame (e.g. by June) for the shortlisted Counsellors to start work? How is the hiring process like? Thank you.

Received a call from MOE HR this evening, to attend interview for School Counsellors (those without counselling training). This is the follow up from the 13th Feb Information Session.

Hi! Have you gone for your interview? How did it go?

For those who have gone through this journey, how long is the wait before we know the outcome of the interview?

Thank you in advance.

My scheduled interview is on 7th March.

The school stint starts in June 2018.
If interview is in March and you are successful, you will be appointed before the school stint starts. So the longest wait would be around 3 months.

After the 7th March interview (and there will only be this interview), how long does it take for them to recruit/appoint me? Will it be phone call, email or snail mail?

I went for the school counsellor interview on 7th March (wed).
Received unsuccessful outcome via email on 14 March (wed).

Within a span of one week and taking into account the weekend, would the rejection be due to
- fail interview or
- fail clearance or
..?


anyone from HR can advise?

Hi

Does anyone know what are the check MOE will do for not teaching role?

Thanks in advance

Any newd?
 

Hi..did you get the job? I went for MOE school lab tech last friday (23/3/18) on mon (26/3/18) thry called me up for futher documents. Im not sure of i get the job tho.

Hi, I have applied for the ICT Associate/Manager on 2 Dec, to be assigned/stationed in school. I had gone for several school interview by a a panel of P, VP and ICT-HOD.

I was informed from one of the school Admin Manager that I have being shortlisted on 12 Feb 2018. And to await for HQ clearance which normally takes 2 to 3 months, she proclaimed.

My question, I read the forum and learnt we could check our status from Career@Gov on the status. I tried checking but couldn’t find any status of my application.

Could anyone advice where can I check that status?

Thank you

Hi everyone, I found my status in Career@gov. It is reflecting “Submitted”.

From the day I submitted all requested document (19/3/18), I suppose the waiting time(2-3 months) as per quoted by the school Admin Manager. I hope there will be good news soon.

Fingercross

Will the application open soon?

Finally I checked on Career@Gov and the status of my application is now reflecting "Shortlisted" instead of "Completed". Do really hope the process is on its way after the long wait and several documents is needed during the period of March 2018.


Pray hard!!

my friend is applying for Corporate support officer under MOE. she have A level and some years of work experience.

what will be the expected starting salary?
$1600? or S$1800?
also, understand that it was a 3 year contracts. so she will still get AWS/PB right even it is under contract basis?

Was surprised to received an official email from MOE for my ICT application to attend the Appointment Formalities (AF) session after nearly a 6 months wait.

To those who are still waiting, do not give up.

It’s depending on the HR to evaluate her last drawn pay, just apply with expected salary as the HR will justify with submitted documents.

wow thats good
