Career as Teacher

Ultimately, the interviewers are just giving you a teaser of what may to come when you sign up for teaching. If you are not able to control 3 or 4 of them, i don’t think u are ready to take care of 30-40 of real students. Just my opinion.

I agree. If you can't handle a small group, then you are not ready to handle a full class in school

If i got offered MOE/NIE PGDE but reject it without accepting, will I be blacklisted? Will this affect my future applications to MOE teaching service in the future?

Because I'm not sure if teaching is the career for me at this point in time, although I enjoy it.

This is the reason for contract teaching before enrolling into NIE so as to confirm if you really want this job. If you don't want it when contract teaching ends, you can leave without any penalty.

Don't think you will be blacklisted, but generally it will become more and more difficult to get in the future because of low birth rate = less students = lesser new teachers needed.

It will affect. Cos my friend told me subsequently when he allowed. He was short listed again. But the interviewers brought his old file out and reference it to the questions that were asked and the answers.

Needless to say, he was not successful. Future attempts, he wasn't even short listed thereafter. -

Anyone knows what's the salary revision/cut come June?

I only managed to get shortlisted twice. After failing interview second time, cannot get shortlisted again

Looking at the comments in this thread...I think I shouldn't appeal.
