Just A Commoner By right title should not matter, but we are in a stage where everyone is doing it. So when you stick with a lousy but correct title, you lose out as people automatically assume you are very junior.

Just ask for good title, better safe than sorry and doesnt cost a cent anyway.

Hermit Job title inflation. Coming to a department near you.

govt admin =/= admin job.

in the same sense the NUS business admin students don't study about admin too.
and NUS public admin students don't study about admin too.

Thanks in advance.
