The period before and just after being employed by the Teacher Service Commission (TSC) present the most grueling experiences.
Although TSC’s advertisement for vacancies is out in July with interviews being in August during which the recruits are told of the successful candidates, letters of employment are released in December.
The joy of getting an employment letter is cut short when one realises that his/her first salary will probably come after six months. How does one survive for all this time? Is someone banking the money for it to accrue interest?
It is tedious to follow up on salary, which necessitates travel to country and national offices.
Finally, the salary may not be sent in lumpsum but in bits, which makes your life more miserable.
Those seeking employment with TSC need to ready themselves for this grueling experience.
