I am contemplating a move into the public sector so I had a good look at careers@gov
All my friends are in the private sector so I have no one who can help me with the questions that I have.
Short summary about me:
- mid 30s
- so about 10 years working experience
- poor honors degree in engineering (NUS)
1) Is it easy to move to public sector (considering my degree is just 3rd class)? Do they usually reserve the vacancies for people who have previously worked in the public sector?
2) I am confused by the job titles. How do I know what is suitable for me? Manager, assistant manager, deputy director....I don't want to appear a fool to apply for a wrong position. There is so much variation in the title.
3) And salary. how do I know what salary does a manager or AM or DD get?
