Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hoang (character name changed) is currently a school health official, holding the professional title of Doctor of rank IV, salary grade 3 with a coefficient of 2.26. He graduated with a degree in Information Technology and has a certificate in Primary Education Pedagogy.
From the reality of work and the desire to develop a career suitable to his training expertise, Mr. Hoang requested functional agencies to answer some contents related to the conversion of professional titles and participation in recruiting public employees.
Mr. Hoang wondered whether with his current qualifications, he would be eligible to be transferred from the professional title of Medical Doctor rank IV to the title of Primary School Teacher rank III. In case of being considered for conversion, he wants to know what additional conditions, standards or procedures according to current regulations need to be met.
In addition, Mr. Hoang is currently a school health official and wishes to participate in recruitment for another civil servant position. He requested guidance on whether it is mandatory to resign before registering for recruitment or is still entitled to participate in recruitment during his time as a civil servant according to current legal regulations.
Regarding Mr. Hoang's proposal, the Ministry of Home Affairs has responded on the Electronic Information Portal.
