Hi ppl,
I have recently posted here with the topic 'Victimised by Job
Agency'..
http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=196548
While i am contemplating leaving the job
I graduated with Diploma in IT from Ngee Ann and have joined my
previous company (1st fulltime job) who is in healthcare. Left
there only 1 month ago and for the past 4 years, i am very lucky to
be involved in marketing their products and A&P activities,
meeting up with press and developing marketing collaterals
etc.
Recently i joined another healthcare co (a MNC that just set up its
regional office in Singapore 1 year back) but the job scope is vey
different as stated in the Employment Letter. I am now very unhappy
there as i really want to learn and be exposed to more aspects esp
they have regional offices sad.gif
As i got the job via an agency, i have a prob now (please read my
previous thread for more info). So while considering alternatives
yesterday, i decide to go further studies if not i will forever be
working and reached a bottleneck one day. Though experience is
impt, but i think if i can study now, why not? Especially now i
know what i want to study. Me going 26 le.. in Aug.
Obtaining Degree
I am interested in either Corporate Communications or Marketing as
i believe this can build upon my work experience and they are the
next best relevant courses for me.
However, i realised that the admission period for SMU is over
though course starts in Aug. I have to wait another year. And i
heard it's very competitive.
Any podders can advise? My pal who graduated from NUS said that SMU
tend to be more hands-on and having related job experience may be
an advantage. Well, i sure hope it is!
Also, how about SIM? Is it as recognised? Cos i know that SMU is
the other Uni that is subsidized by Govt and somehow it seems to
have an edge over SIM though it's pretty new. I have only these 2
schools in mind now. I wonder if you guys can advise other options
for me especially for the 2 courses mentioned?
Study Loan
I read about these 2 types of loans. Tuition fee loan and laptop
loan. I am wondering if bank do loan for course fees? Cos it will
form the bulk of our studies. What banks are good and
requirements?
Hope i can get more information and advise from fellows here
thank you,
ernie
