DACH Supersonic August 17, 2017 Share August 17, 2017 when employer see your degree is not from local unis, some of them would ask you directly if you obtained your degree part-time in sg or go overseas to study de. Then it is up to them whether they would recognise your degree and pay you accordingly or not. I believe many employer would pay you at least $100-200 lower than local unis degree.Didn't encounter such things when going interviews with foreign companies. But more so for local companies and govt related companies and stat boards. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more so for local companies and govt related companies and stat boards. Maybe depends on the company policy, or the interviewer of that company. Some interviewer might ''look down'' on part-time degree and then try to pay you lower since you do not the bargaining power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tkseah Supercharged August 17, 2017 Share August 17, 2017 Some HR will filter out those without academic qualifications.. so such candidates dun even get to the interview stage.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that person has real capabilities or not, only when start to work for a few months then will know. But in the first place if you do not have the qualifications then might not even get a chance to prove yourself. Lol. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windwaver Turbocharged August 17, 2017 Share August 17, 2017 Even though it is the same exams papers and same uni, but different exposure for the person ma. Employers would look you up a bit if you tell them you studied full-time there, rather than study in sg part-time. Lol. There's still a lot of AMDK here in Singapore, a few in my office liao. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therock Supersonic August 17, 2017 Share August 17, 2017 Just do you know.. some of the best surgeons locally did poorly in their medical studies. But they have the best hands.. Scholastic abilities don't always reflect a person's ability to perform under pressure, his/her ability to see details, have steady hands and simply, see the solution. In fact.. I know a few SAF scholars who aren't actually very good.. but they did well based on their A levels... rather shoddy leadership skills in the forces.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing less. ðð¼ If i recall correctly, SIA had that criteria for recruiting fresh grads. Not pilot or cabin crew, but technical and admin. Not sure nowadays still so high standard. But in those days, no shortage of applicants so can afford to cream off the best (at least academically). Edited August 17, 2017 by Sosaria Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merc280v6 6th Gear August 17, 2017 Share August 17, 2017 The point is: nowadays a general degree is dime a dozen! Employers of big companies expect more ... a good honours degree. Just like property - one's house. Condos nowadays are dime a dozen. To "have arrived" would mean at least a semi-D, if not a GCB! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axela72 5th Gear August 17, 2017 Share August 17, 2017 your comment slap those that prefer street smart with poor paper qualification than good paper qualification one. I doubt they will take the risk of their life to choose a one with just pass degree to operate them If I had to go for open heart surgeryI wouldn't want a doc that just pass only.as a first choice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
