Anyone can gif any advice? No keyboard warriors pls. Thanks.

If you are motivated to strive for your career, I think your chances of getting a well paid job is better in the private sector. In govt sector, academic achievements are overrated and you will be disadvantaged.

my friend unisim degree in EMA.
another 1 in HPB
another 1 in CPF
some in MOM also

yeah man! scholar make mistake still zoom zoom faster than your hard work la! haha

don't think it matters what your class of honor is. anyway, i don't think so. at least not for home teams under MHA. my colleagues mid 30s (both genders) are only MX11 and some joined the civil service upon grad. even to reach MX11 (for most ppl), takes several years.

usioneu gold-fag
 

It took 5 years for me to go from MX13 to MX11, and I am considered high flyer among the ordinary (non-scholar) grade. So don't expect too much lah

thanks to everyone who replied..

agreed with what u wrote too, but this is my first job and i've got zero experience, so was thinking of going into public then jumping ship to private some years later. I've looked at private sector jobs, many need experience, especially for larger organisations. Those that require no experience are mostly sales jobs which i have not much interest in.

Thank you.

This is common mistake made by a lot of fresh grad, think they can get best of both world by getting high start pay first then jump to pte when they feel like it.

All I can say is easier said then done, public servants are not looked on well by companies in general, most people find the transition difficult and most end up accepting same pay but working longer hrs just to transit out.

But more than 90% fresh grad found jobs within a few months. So there are many jobs available for fresh grad in private sector. Now with online application, it is much easier to apply for jobs. Compared to last time, we need to send in job applications via slow mails. And after printing and sending more than 20 applications, only got shortlisted for a few interviews. Be positive!!
