that’s that
Barely 50 minutes after my interview’s over, I’m home and online. Whee!
Notes:
- Questions were mostly fluff. “Do you think advanced placement credits helped you in your degree progress?”, “You took cantonese?”, “Was there a selection process for your Course Assistantship at Stanford?”, “What ECAs would you want to be involved in when you start teaching?”, “Why are you PES B?” (what the hell)
- If not fluff, then predictable. “Would you rather teach in a neighbourhood school or RI?”, “Why do you think your parents indicated disappointment when you took up a teaching scholarship?”, “Why do you think that Singaporeans have less of a sense of national and cultural identity than Americans?” (that one was from my feedback form), “What subjects other than Math & Physics would you want to teach?”, “When did you start being interested in web and technology development?”
- Seemed rather intent on keeping me within MOE and moving me to MOE HQ. Interesting.
- Started l0 minutes late, but ended on time. Good deal. 
In general, rather pleasant interview, if just a little fluffy. I suspect the interview is a non-issue for my case and I will be staying within MOE for my five years. Very good. I’m actually looking forward to it more now after reflecting upon the above questions with the Commission. Thanks, old dudes.
One more week and recall period will be over and my life can resume its course back onto sanity.
