It depends on the departments too. Which position is it?

It's not exactly a one year contract. It's just the usual practice nowadays to undergo a one year probation followed by conversion to permanent status.

which department is good?

contract job in civil service got AWS, performance bonus, yearly increment?

What are the salaries like for a senior officer, assistant head or head position at one of the departments under PM office? I'm a little confused by the various career tracks such as administrative officer or the MX scheme.

I went for an interview this week for the position and HR called me to ask about my current and previous pay. Was a bit strange. I'm a phd holder, previous job (2.5 years) last drawn salary abt 6k, took a pay cut to explore a slightly different but related and more interesting job drawing salary of 5.5k ( only been here for 2 months). My education, and both work experiences are related to the position I applied for. Would HR factor in both my job salaries in calculating my pay?

HR's job is always to slash the salary. Not to offer a fair package.

Not entirely true for Civil Service.

First 3 years were a nightmare. Yea, there are some oddities if you look closely, but hey... work hard, and you'll get your just rewards in the govt sector.

Is it normal for prospective civil servants who enter mid career to get pay slash? Surely they'd get at least a pay match if their skills and previous work experience are relevant for the job?
