GPA not good, how to "squeeze" into public sector?
 

GPA 2.7

How to squeeze inside public sector?

willing to accept lower than average pay

Apply as A-level/poly do admin. There you go civil service with lower than average pay problem solved.

Choose public sector jobs that have high turn over. For example, some public sector jobs require you to be under the sun constantly and inspect this, inspect that. No aircon, blah blah blah. Jobs with a lot of internal transfers within the service when other job vacancies came up. You will have a chance to squeeze in.

Why enter public service when you are not lower than 2nd lower? I have GPA less than 3.0 and miss out on 3rd class marginally. I joined a SME company 7 years and have never work in public/civil sector before. Still earn quite decent and comparable to average public/civil servant.

Apply moh Mom moe msf mcys all are not hard to enter. A local Ubi degree will suffice

MOE is very difficult to get in. They have slowed down hiring from 3000++ to 900++.

joined MINDEF(non uniformed) as a 2.7 GPA. never looked back.

applied MOE but they are sort of elitist. 2.7 engineering and 3.7 arts are simply not the same. but oh wells, Meritocracy.

what position you apply?

sic leh

what sort of job? What time of degree?

DXO. logistics. Nope, not willing to SIC further. pass the PT then talk.

local uni engineering degree.

your basic pay ? and your annum salary?

The engineering and art, I don't get what you mean

is engineering more value in govt sector?

bookmark for more tips

I have switched a few jobs and now working in MNC. Basic is high $7k/month and annual is in the roughly $115k

I work in public sector on/off for the last 15 years (1 ministry, 2 statboards). For experience hires, it's experience and domain knowledge that count more than grades. I had only part-time degree. First job in ministry was because I had relevant experience. Second time there was because someone opened the door for me + experience.
