My experience in MFA has been challenging yet fulfilling. I started out in the Human Resource Directorate, before I transitioned into my role as Attaché (Admin & Consular) at the Singapore High Commission in London. Currently, I serve as Third Secretary (Admin & Technical) at the Singapore Embassy in Tel Aviv, where I was part of the team tasked to set up Mission from scratch.
I was looking for a change in my career and was drawn to MFA due to the highly dynamic environment and the opportunity for fresh challenges. A career here offers unique experiences at every turn, allowing me to build confidence and expertise. I am grateful for the knowledge and exposure gained, particularly through the Singapore Government’s Smart Nation initiative. Knowing that I am contributing to Singapore’s success motivates me to continue striving for excellence in my work.
For applicants looking to join MFA as a FSAS officer, I say “Go for it and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime.” MFA offers a wide range of training and career development opportunities to prepare you for your career in the Foreign Service so we welcome applicants from all backgrounds. These programmes help officers acquire transferable skills that support your growth as you transition between different roles in the Ministry.
