Kusje Supersonic April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Also - it would be interesting to see just how this person scored in their interview with IDA - it's tough to believe that being in possession of an MBA made NO difference to the process - even if it wasn't explicitly required, it does still make a positive impression right? You are self employed right? An interview is just all talk. Just by watching what my boss does daily (he sits opposite me), I believe I can pass any interview claiming I am in his position. Whether I can handle the job or not is another story. Don't think will get answer from ICA Either you answer now or you answer during election time....

Either you answer now or you answer during election time.... SOME companies actually have fairly robust hiring procedures - It's not hard for me to imagine a form where someone is scored on a table of 1-5 for a variety of different things, and then the highest scorer is supposed to be the one hired. It's also not difficult for me to imagine a scenario where, if someone does use a formal "scoring metric" for interviews - points are awarded for something like "has undertaken ongoing education" I have no idea what the IDA interview scoring metric is like - whether it is a formal score, or just "seat of pants" (I can imagine both).....

Mustank Hypersonic April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 MBa in Mumbai and Delhi are very common... throw a stone there you will hit a MBa or even PHd books are really cheap there cert or no cert, these are good stuff: http://business.asiaone.com/print/personal-finance/investments-and-savings/6-educational-courses-singapore-will-help-you-save-lot 6 educational courses in Singapore that will help you save a lot of money Tuesday, Apr 21, 2015 Joanne Poh MoneySmart Back in the old days, people did everything themselves-from mending holes in their shirts to cooking their own meals. As the country grew more prosperous and more modern, people started losing many of the skills that had helped their ancestors survive. The irony is that as the cost of living in Singapore rises these days and ordinary people get squeezed more tightly, a lot of the skills people used to have are becoming more useful than ever. Here are some DIY courses that can help reduce the cost of living and make you a more self-reliant person. 1. Air Con Maintenance Virtually everyone in Singapore has an air con, famously dubbed by Lee Kwan Yew as the greatest invention of all time. Whether you only turn it on when the weather makes you start seeing stars or can't fall asleep without it, there's no denying that air con servicing is a pain. If you have multiple air con units at home, the cost can really add up. Where?: ITE College West runs a 20 hour air-conditioning maintenance course that you can pay for in full using your SkillsFuture credit. 2. Car Maintenance If you're a driver who's trying to save money, good luck. Each time something goes wrong with your car, you drive to the workshop with that sinking feeling that the mechanic is once again going to fleece you of hundreds or thousands of dollars. And there's nothing you can do because you have no idea what's going on. Take a course in car maintenance and at the very least, you'll be able to save a bit of money on routine oil changes and the like. Where?: Community centres run car maintenance workshops from time to time-Geylang West CC and Bedok CC have courses lined up in April and May. For something more comprehensive, ITE College West has a part-time course in Automotive Technology, which will enable you to troubleshoot and do basic car servicing. 3. Sewing If you have an interesting body shape or tend to be shorter than average, you're probably no stranger to the need to make clothing alterations. And every now and then we all experience annoying little holes or tears that could be easily fixed if only we didn't have to pay $5 just to get the tailor at the market to do it. If like me you didn't have the privilege of taking home ec back in lower sec, you can still pick up a few sewing skills by watching YouTube or enrolling in a basic sewing class. If you're really ambitious, you might want to take things one step further by learning how to sew from patterns, which means you might even be able to make your own clothes from scratch. Where?: Community centres tend to run the cheapest and most basic sewing classes at about $65 for a full course. Astitchworks runs sewing and dressmaking classes at $690 for 8 lessons of 3 hours each. 4. Gardening You might not be able to cultivate a pumpkin patch or similar in Singapore, but you can supplement your diet with organic vegetables grown in your flat if you know how. Fresh herbs like basil aren't that cheap to buy at the supermarket and can be quite easily grown on your windowsill, while vegetables like kang kong can be grown on your balcony. The problem is that getting into gardening usually involves quite a bit of wasted money at the start as you struggle to keep your plants alive. Where?: Kampong Glam CC is conducting an organic vegetable growing workshop in April for $48. Eco City Hydroponics runs a WDA-approved (SkillsFuture credit… cha-ching!) one-day hydroponics course for $198, which includes a kit that you can use at home. The Landscape Industry Association runs gardening courses for beginners at $430 for 6 sessions of 2 hours. 5. Cooking Much has been said about the money-saving benefits of being able to cook, so we shan't belabour the point. Cooking classes come in all shapes and sizes, from the ridiculously expensive and insanely exotic to cheap basic classes that teach you to make simple foods. Where?: Community centres tend to run numerous inexpensive cooking classes at about $20 to $25 per session. Project Dignity runs an affordable WSQ cooking course that teaches you how to prepare Malay dishes like mee rebus, mee siam and laksa, all on your SkillsFuture credit if you wish. 6. Beer Brewing While many people might not think learning how to brew beer a necessity, if you routinely spend tons of money on a heavily-taxed post-work pint, learning to brew your own beer helps to keep your money out of the government's coffers. Where?: HomeBrew Co-Op conducts 1-day and 4-day beer brewing workshops.
