Pls note that all applicants have to submit $2 along with the application forms. This $2 is for applicants to treat the
exco application process seriously, and for them to really consider if they would want to run for
exco before applying.
Okay, as you can see, the
Exco election process is pretty tough and fairly long.
To quote our VP
edmund:
"... a word of advice to all: do think over your decision carefully. Weigh your priorities and commitments, as well as evaluate your capability and capacity to fulfill the duties and bear the responsibilities of an
Exco member. Should you think that yourself lacking in any area whatsoever, kindly take some time to rethink your decision. This is to ensure commitment and minimal dropouts during the course of the election process."
So, if you really feel that you have the passion to lead interact and think you are capable enough to do so, I would strongly encourage you to try for the
exco. Getting into the
exco is uber cool and fun and is a great experience to have! Even for those with low self-confidence, rest assured, your
enthusiasm or capability will surely been seen and will make you successful in the election. You can also learn to gain that confidence over time.
The brightest star will always shine.
Goodluck!
