There's no official age guideline or age requirement. However, the 'gatekeeping' is done these days by slowing down promotions, especially geo3 to geo4 which they really seem to have put the brakes on, hard. It used to be rare to see people who were genuinely interested in taking up greater responsibilities stuck at geo1A1 (geo3) for more than 3 or 4 years, but nowadays it's common to see early/mid-30s geo3s still waiting and waiting.

Don’t they recruit every year? It’s part of the hiring cycle. I think the number of successful applicants has gone down in recent years.

Hello! I got offered a position at HQ. But was wondering if it really means that my CEP is beyond GEO 5? Or is this a fallacy? Thank you

Truth be told, being accepted for a position in HQ does not equate to a CEP higher than GEO5. There are HQ officers who end up not being invited for the enhanced posting exercise.

Could be because they are GEO3 since you need to be GEO4 to take up a KP position. Or do u know GEO4s who do not get invited for enhanced posting?

Why would geo4 not be invited?

But invited or not, whether one can actually secure a posting during Enhanced is another question. Sometimes they fail to do so and will have to try again at Open/Closed posting exercises.

Hmm why a question to reply to a question? I already stated what I thought. Are there any GEO4 officers that don’t get invited to enhanced posting? I’m not aware.
