Question
 

Usually for people in civil service which is non executive level but is local uni degree holder.
How should I go about in applying to executive level job ?
Have to leave civil service and apply through career gov ?

The rule is they wont promote the person because he now has a degree. But he can apply a new role and job under the degree job lvel role

Long timeframe
 

The interview process is very long with many stage to go through... Is it worth to apply contract position?

What do u want to get out of working for a year?

Most of the role are contract position now.

Even if it is advertise as permanent, you will have to go through a year or two as contract before they decide to emplace you as a permanent.

Still got difference. Specifically contract position with fixed timeline is not a perm headcount

Chances of lowballed
 

Hi
Anyone got exp of CS lowball if now you are underpaid in the private sector and state expected salary as only a bit higher? Will you still be paid within the range or they will give you what you put since lower?
TIA!

They have a formula to calculate base on work expnand scheme of service.

Thanks so much for your reply! I have around 6 years exp but severely underpaid so for expected didn’t put so high...hopefully it will be a reasonable figure

mine they didnt state salary in the job post. but how would they calculate the offer? if you have around 8-10 yrs experience with private degree even severely underpaid and gotten a paycut

any rough indication? possible to get 5k?
