After obtaining an intermediate professional title, where should one apply for a senior professional title? I heard that the pass rate for advanced professional titles is very low. Why is that?
The money issue. Whenever the basic pension for enterprise retirees is increased each year, those with senior professional titles usually receive preferential treatment and an additional amount of pension. In some areas, this practice has been in effect for over 10 years. However, it was suspended in 2016.
These days, even senior professional titles don’t come with any special benefits: if the employer doesn’t value them while you’re in office, it’s no better than being a junior section chief; After retirement, there are no benefits at all; the addition of a pension was something that happened in previous years.
Where to get an evaluation for the intermediate level, and where to turn to? I haven’t heard of any issues with pension benefits for senior positions at the moment; I’ll let you know if I hear anything about it in the future.
I plan to take an intermediate exam this year and am interested in this topic.
A senior professional title certificate isn’t very useful; it can only serve as a façade if you want to change jobs! :lol
Intermediate professional titles are evaluated at the prefecture level, while senior titles are evaluated at the provincial or municipal level; the application process still goes through the local personnel department. Work achievements, papers, awards, patents, etc., obtained before the issuance of the intermediate-level professional title cannot be used to apply for a higher-level professional title; rather, it is the achievements achieved after obtaining the intermediate title that are taken into consideration. There are relevant policy documents specifying these requirements, and you can consult the local human resources department for more information. In some areas, there are preferential policies regarding senior professional titles in terms of household registration and pensions; there is no unified policy nationwide, so you should consult the local human resources department.
This year, the pass rate is around 50%, I guess
