1 option he can go is be a teacher... its a good dumping ground.

Agreed. MAS tends to pay better than the ministries. The best might be GIC. That might be worth a shot

What do you guys think about a dip holder entering into a stat board? As I wanna enter the stat board that deals with the landscape and greenery of our city.

I took a different diploma back in my poly days and I do not want to waste time taking the landscape diploma again. My other option is to go overseas for a degree course but that would requires a sum of money. Thus, I decided to work first. Currently I am working in a private company but the pay is relatively low because I'm starting from scratch. I was intending to go into public sector as I understand the pay will be much higher and the incentives are better. I got an interview just awhile ago and currently waiting (praying) for a 2nd interview. If I got through, that would be great.

But what are some of the thoughts of a dip holder entering the public sector? Competition and more competition?

I think when you receive the offer, you'd pray they didn't offer you. Continue studying.

That's a bit far fetched.. I just applied for an officer job. I didn't ask since it was only the first interview. But the HR did mentioned that the starting pay would be 1.9 - 2k for dip holders.

Given your academic qualifications, I take it that you applied for a management support officer scheme?

Hiring Decision
 
Hi all :)

Currently, MSF keep telling me they are pending some information before they can get back to me whether to provide me a verbal offer. I have already done the medical check-up, and there is no problems. It's been 1 month plus, and they still ask me to wait another 2 weeks.

Anyone got any idea, what info are they pending? why is the process taking so long?


Thanks =.=
Michelle

Unregistered 30-04-2016 12:43 AM

we won't know what isd is checking.. probably the level of clearance.. like cat 2/2a can be done like 1-2 weeks.. mine was a cat 1 and it has been close to 3 months.. still no news.. only people working in isd will know why they need so long to clear a person..

Yes they usually start off as contract, and no your MP won't entertain you.

It isnt hard to enter CS if one lowers his expectations although it is a little harder in this current job market as compared to the past

Hdb accountant
 
Anyone knows how is the workload and working culture for an accountant at hdb? OT required? Thanks

Are IT jobs in public sector mostly about procurement, outsourcing, vendor management, presenting ideas/projects to stakeholders during visits and public outreach/education?

If I am looking at doing IT jobs doing implementation, should I be looking at private sector vendors instead?
