That’s a lousy way of saying “I want to test your capabilities but I don’t want to give you your deserved title/pay/benefits.” Internal appointments are really not worth it. Do more but it’s not a guaranteed that you will be sent for official kp interview. They might drop you after you slogged so hard.

if you want to be considered for actual kp appt then no choice right, still have to bear with it, at least got hope

A better way is to go for open posting. Find a leader who believes in you and will send you for interview first.

Alternatively, go for a HQ posting and when you complete your stint, you will go for enhanced posting and you automatically get a chance to go for kp interview first.

The downside to that is being in HQ. :p

Better than slog so hard and don’t get the interview chance in the end. I’ve seen ppl who are internally appointed as AYH for 2 years, do a lot of work but still not sent for official interview. Furthermore, in addition to internal appointment, still must be a regular form teacher and CCA teacher. No reduction in teaching load as well because it’s an internal appointment. No responsibility allowance too. Why suffer so much? It’s like bullying those who can do more, give more work.

Nowdays tis kinda sai v common

for year end work review and submission of EPMS, does it still affect performance ranking? wouldn't ranking already be over by now?

i like HQ leh but HQ is big with many Divisions, Branches and good/bad depends on where you go?

Don't propagate this sort of toxic thinking that some SLs have. It is not a requirement to have done an internal appointment in order to sit for the interview. To really do a decent job as an internal appointee, you have to sacrifice a lot to still do justice to your core job as a form teacher, CCA teacher and your full teaching load. All that without extra pay. Not sure why HR doesn't officially prohibit this.

not like you can demand for the interview right?
if you need SL approval/recommendation in order to be considered/interviewed then you also have to accept whatever crap they put as prerequisite (eg. internal appt) right?
