When they contacted me, I turned them down politely coz I was happy with my present position. I'm still happy working at my current company.
I rarely apply for jobs through websites. Usually I get job offers via networking & recommendation. Faster & easier, plus good career progression after that.
I work at a tertiary institution as an academic. Looking for edu jobs. Maybe I'm overqualified; some SG employers require min. 2 years and some min. 5 yrs experience. FYI, I'm 6 years in the industry & have worked for various institutions from primary up to tertiary level, taught kids as young as 5 y.o. up to students as old as 25 y.o., local & international students...
... yet can't even get a job at secondary schools or education centres in SG... despite my work experience & qualifications. I don't think it's because of my age either. I'm 28 this year but my resume is impressive; have been approached by local international schools, tertiary institutions, MNCs as well. I don't doubt my work performance & competence as I'm one of the top employees who are close to the top management + working for another higher institution (also via recommendation).
Anyway, haven't tried my best yet coz still waiting for my Master's cert. Plan to apply for academic positions in SG when I have it.
Just enjoy myself in M'sia first. I have 31 days of leave per year. Can travel to meet bf; not in a hurry.
ohh sounds very good.. mind I asking which college are you attached to and what is your teaching area? I am considering joining college too in near future..
