Thanks for the feedback - I am an NSman. What is the GEO4 range may I ask?

The GEO4 range is 4.5-7.2k.

In his fifth year of service a freshly promoted GEO4 (NSman) might be drawing approx 5.5-5.8k.

Expectations are very high nowadays. MOE can afford to pick and choose only the best. I had a BT who was good and hardworking. It took her a few tries to get in. Heard they went through a few rounds of interview. There's even a trial lesson ob for her. Besides a good degree, you have to be good at talking, speak gd English and show your passion. Know what is happening in education.

I had my interviews on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday last week. The one on Tues got back to me on Thursday. Those on Wednesday and Thursday got back to me on the day itself.

Like what previous response mentioned, it depends on your GEO.
On top of that, a first class honours would give you a slight headstart compared to a 2nd lower for example.

Just curious, which one accepted you? BTW, congratulations!

Suddenly, a good teacher doesn't only means able to teach the students well. A good teacher must also be able to market yourself well. HAHA. Good luck to whoever who is also trying out the OPE this year.
