2010- 14%
2011- 9%
2012-17%
2013-10%

My stat board gives 3.5% only.
Ur increase is equivalent to changing jobs.

PRECISELY! I know there was a salary adjustment across many ministries and stat board in 2012 but they cannot increase that much so fast....

2012 was a good year. If the stat board followed their parent Ministry, then they would also adopt the adjustment of 10% for MX12/11 equivalent. Plus the usual merit increment of about 5% for C performer... it's what I got last year

even so, 9-10% MI is high!

Hi....can anyone advise if it was the norm to indicate your current annual salary that is inclusive of the 13th mth & bonuses when applying for a civil service job? Have never applied for one before & was a bit confounded=). Wary of pricing myself out or getting shortchanged.

And why do they want job experience in chronological instead of reverse chrono. order that more commonly used? Does it really matter?

Any advice from experienced souls used to the civil service ways is appreciated!

I am definitely not a high flier. How can I be one in the first place??? There are so many high-caliber and academically strong civil and public servants.
