TS, I really think you are being quite naive.
The question here isnt about whether you cleared the interview
or not. It is about you applying for a job that doesn't exist at
the moment.
and on most employment terms, "keeping your application in view
for 3 months" does not really mean anything. Its just a nicer way
of saying 'no'.
It is not a system of first-come-first-serve, that you will be
prioritised over later/newer applicants. I suppose the vacancies
for allied educators are very much limited, and I don't see why MOE
will need to dig up the backlog of people on the waiting list, when
there are so many fresh applicants eager to fill the post.
TS, my suggestions to you:
1) Go write in to any schools to be relief teacher/ teacher's
assistant/ education associates/ contract teacher/ whatever. After
working for a few months, then ask the principal to recommend you
for training as teacher, or as allied educator if you still wish to
be one.
2) Reapply for the position every 3 months, to ensure that you
are in the 'current list' instead of the waiting list.
3) Give up and look for some other job.
First-off, i emailed the person asking whether i did not clear
my interview or was it because i was an unsuitable candidate. And
then they told me that they couldnt find a school in th cluster
that could match my strengths. I WAS NOT REJECTED. theres still
hope, i just have to wait.
Secondly, in case you havent been reading the news, Relief
Teachers Scheme has changed, you need more than just 'O' Levels to
be a Relief Teacher. Also, a teacher's assistant = Allied
Educator. And in case you are wondering, i do have experiences in
the teaching industry, but due to competition, my chances of
getting in is lower.
Thirdly, thanks for all your advices, but i was asking for an
enlightenment, not directions on what i should do with my
life.
