It has been quite some time since i ORD in November 08. Haven't really gotten an 8 to 5 job though but i am currently working part-time at a tuition centre as an educator and also giving private tuitions to earn some allowances. Of course, i will still jump at any opportunity that offers me an admin job. It's more for the experience rather than the pay.i have tried agencies like Recruit Express and Temasek Poly but to no avail.
The huge pluses of my current teaching job are that the pay per hour is substantially greater and the work is also much more meaningful compared t0 a dull full time clerical job like data entry. I really enjoy the interactions with the students very much as they will often provide me with glimpses into the cute and innocent life that i once used to have. The best of all, i have a lot of free time to myself! Haha. Some people wondered why i didn't try to do relief teaching. I did apply! But no school has called me up as of now. :( Some of my luckier friends who did the same things as me were even offered a contract to teach at schools for months! So envious!
I am going to use the free time i have to do some self-improvement before school starts. Next week, i am going to sit for my CMFA M5 (Rules and Regulations for Financial Advisory Services) exam. It's a basic exam one needs to take before one can offer financial advices. This is a self-study thing and I figure i would go sit for it in order to learn more about products like insurance. :) Passing a few of these modules will enable one to provide advisory services like an insurance agent. I havn't really thought of becoming an agent though. It's more for the knowledge that i would like to gain. :)
I also won't neglect the jap studies that i am currently having too.
