Which job sector or firms should i look for? And what is the salary i should expect?
Cant get into ministry or civil sector i guess.

Bro im in civil service with exactly the same credentials as u.. 2007 batch major info comm.. The only regret I had was not joining CS sooner.. I went private sector manufacturing 2 years..

In a way, certain scope of work in CS have certain skill sets which are similar to what we learnt.. Give it a try!

Hi, anyone knows how much the top man(CEO) of PAP Comm Foundation or for that matter, the Dy, Dirs earn? I understand a few of them were former high ranking SAF officers. If my guess is correct that as CEO, the salary could be ard $15k pm, Dy CEO ard $13k pm and Dirs ard $10k pm. It is really a good deal for them considering that they would getting their pensions and medical benefits as well.

Anyone know? Thanks

While i got my job within a mth, she got a call for interview after 1 mth of applying from the portal.

digress a little, whats the medical checkup about? does it include x ray and blood test?

c) operations can be easily replaced by cheaper FTs or moved out to cheaper countries one day.

I am not aiming to be a high-flier. Will be satisifed with a stable job, sufficient remuneration just to survive in sg.

Will I be considered for a civil/public sector administration or finance position with a engineering pass degree?

I agree that you've valid reasons and concerns to quit your current job. Finance positions usually requires accounting degree. My wife is ACCA holder (full CPA) with 5-6 yrs exp. Based on her past results, no news from ministries and some offers from stat boards. Seem that ministries only recognise local accounting degrees. And stat boards usually offer entry grade with some increments, which mean significant pay cuts from her current job then. She ended up in oil industry. And her annual take home is higher than me (a grad in ministry!).

Admin would be tougher to get in, as you would face more competitions from local fresh grads with any general disciplines. But not unless you know somebody inside and a network to get in.

If you don't mind quasi government, you can try healthcare, which operate and pay almost like government. Vacancies aplenty. But I heard that the work stress might be even higher than your current job.

But no harm trying. Keep options open. Who know you might be surprised to find someone who appreciate you

Anyone know what is the starting salary for fresh degree grad (with NS) in PUB ?

Can give a range from 2nd lower to 1st class.

Thank you

Eyesight check, chest xray, urine test. Not all pre-employment checkup consists of a blood test though.

hi everyone

Any Civil Service (CS) non-uniform I should go for decent pay increment?
Am looking at MOE management executive. any other better ones out there?
Appointment Grade Salary Range*
Management Executive 13 (Cadet Grade) $2,400 - $4,350

This is tough, but any CS jobs that are more interesting? like film classifier at MDA for eg.

If you mean no prospects in terms of going to MX9, MX8 and beyond then of course dont need to say la.

Funny thing about CS is that except for places like MAS, they usually don't count your previous work experience and just lump people with 3-4years experience into MX12, which is what fresh grad would get after 1 year.

don't think there's a great difference in both cases, cos the 2 groups may still remain as MX12 after the same no. of years, given both are average performers.

had a colleague who transferred to ministry (HASE scheme) from MOE, still MX12 after 3 years in the ministry and 4 years in MOE. took a pay cut even.
