Hey, wondering if anyone could offer me some advice? I just got a job offer of $3300 from one of the stat boards. I'm wondering if i shld accept it as i feel that the job prospects are lacking. Also i see from the forum that the experience gained from govt jobs are quite useless in the private sector...my concern is whether i can stay marketable and employable in the future, and not just limited to the public sector...

i'm a female with 1st class honours in chem engin...

depends on the stat board n ur job function.
can elaborate?

also depends on wat u plan to do in life... if lets say u join SPRING, u can still be marketable in private sector in SMEs, but if you want to work in banks in the future then cfm no use one....

Its one of the stat board under water ministry..

i assume yours is an engineer role. if u really work in a treatment plant etc ur exp might be useful to companies lik Hyflux or utilities companies.

however if u r doing stuff like policy planning then might not be relevant in private sector.
