Career as Teacher

Pls get your own degree outside of NIE if u can. Things haven’t changed much in decades. If you enter MOE with only NIE credentials, it will not be easy at all should you want to venture out of MOE one day when you are tired.

With your own degree from the likes of NUS and NTU, u have something else to show employers

I had the fastest rejection ever. Just saw a posting on APEX and decided to apply the next day noon with some errors messages along the way, saying not submitted. then saw the application on my dashboard, so thought okay lah went through i guess. about 2hrs later, received an email from [email protected] that I had been rejected. goodness!

Today is a good day. The sun is bright. May the hot weather bless you.

application on rolling basis. if someone applies on opening date, they interview and they really want him they hv to offer him immediately in case he accepts somewhere else. position closed.

what position?

I'm curious, some schools open up classrooms in the evenings for lessons for ITE students. Are those teachers from ITE itself? Or just some part time tutors?

Nevertheless, you are on track for HOD already because to be covering, means that the school sees that you are a possible replacement and can send you for interviews. Even if it doesn't happen, when you apply for OPE, you can state that you are covering HOD so it also helps you in your next advancement.

Yes, you have a point! Thanks for the advice
