Civil Service Current Estimated Potential (CEP)

[Shizuka Arakawa]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how the CEP in the civil service is calculated? I am currently feeling discouraged now, because I got 9 points for O levels, 6 As for A levels and only a 2nd lower for uni. So is my CEP based just on 2nd lower? Does my previous good result for O and A levels taken into account of? Thanks,

Hi,

I grad from NUS econs..

So is the CEP based on my 2nd lower only? Is my relatively good o and a levels "overlooked"? Thanks.

if you are ambitious you should join the private sector. to be a high earner in civil service, you need to be a scholar. and even scholars have different classes.

CEP is revised every yr during appraisal.

your supervisor need to give a short write-up on why he give u a certain CEP on the form.
of cos if u dint do anything significantly diff from last yr,likely the CEP will remain unchanged.

Just curious, what is CEP used for?

CEP is the highest appointment u can achieve at age 50.
so if u hit your CEP of say dy director at 45 ... u will get stuck at dy director forever...

CEP is base on ur "performance"

If your boss always consult you or ask you for help or work.

your CEP UP. gg.

dun like the game of CEP
very bias,
if ur boss likes u, ask u to do lot of presentation to the big bosses, then ur CEP will be higher. However, if u answer questions wrongly, that is
if ur a scholar, then different scale.

CEP is based on your potential, hence its term "Current Estimated POTENTIAL".

You may perform very well in your job, but if your CEP is low, you're not going to get promoted any time soon. This is something I don't understand. How is potential assessed if not through one's performance?
