Don’t be disheartened. I’ve gone interviews 2 times before and the result turn out negative too.

This was my 3rd attempt. I don’t even know if I’ll succeed this time.

Keep on trying if it's what you really want. I know of someone who only got in after the 7th time applying. He either was called to come for interview or was rejected for those times.

Oh no, are they phasing out AEDs?

Ex- Teachers are also saying it’s so hard for them to get back in the force, with school closures and all. There’s a glut of teachers out there 😅

Haha seems like they are phasing out AED tnl but nobody wants to say it out outright, being the diplomatic ppl they are.

And it is true that there is an abundance of teachers due to the merging of schools etc. Many teachers are displaced. i see many secondary teachers going down to primary school. Thus, the recruitment for fresh batch of teachers is not high in numbers, which is not gd news for us newbies who are trying to enter. =(

Usually ex-teachers wana come back as flexi-adjunct and you're right, its harder for them too. =(

I am currently AED T&L too! I’m also praying that I can get through this time! 😊

Good luck Chlennis! What subject did you apply for? I applied for Art. I hope we get this teaching stint cos the other jobs moe asks us to consider are just not my cup of tea.

I went for Pri Chinese.

I was rejected for so many times that I actually went to apply for MK and LBS. But sadly, after 5 weeks of wait, I got rejected for both. Wasn’t that upset because it wasn’t what I wanted actually. Just that I felt that it’s pretty hard to want to move on. Sigh.

So EO application is my last hope.

Yes thank you!
I will keep on trying even if I’m rejected this time round.

Hi! Anyone received interview call or email for NTU-NIE degree Programme?

[matyoyo88]

Just received an email requesting me to register my availability for the English Proficiency Test. Anyone has any experience with this ?

I did too. But it’s not a confirmation that I have to sit for EPT right?

Yeah not confirmation, I checked the sample online and it’s quite thorough. I wonder what are the criteria for exemption (if any).

[hellome21]

Not sure if English O levels B3 is the criteria? Been seeing people that mentioned the o level grades!

I just got the email too. Its just to check your availability for the test, in case we need to take it.
But I hope this means it's rather positive for us? Anyone w experience can shed some light?

Dun think so coz I scored A1 and I got the email. Or is it that we didn't perform well (language-wise) during the interview that they wanted to test us further?
