The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee recently approved a plan toreform the mechanism for recruiting departmental leaders and holders ofpositions of the same levels in public organisations and agencies.
Theplan allows and encourages public employees to apply for positions asdepartmental heads and deputy heads in public agencies andorganisations, even if they come from a different unit. It alsoclarifies ways of applying for positions - and the recruitment processitself.
This is intended to change the selection for departmental leaders in an effort to attract more talented staff.
Itis also hoped it will deal with the problem of public officialsgrabbing positions because of their long work experience rather thanoutstanding capacity.
The committee said it would be bolder in promoting young and outstanding officials.

"Aspiringofficials can apply for positions and take step-by-step examinations toachieve their target, This is much fairer than promotion throughinternal assignment," Trung said.
He added that people attaining aposition through public recruitment and examination were expected tobecome prouder of their work and more devoted than those achieving aposition thanks to internal assignment.
According to themunicipal People's Committee, eligible applicants will be required tosubmit an action plan that explains how they will develop the units theyhope to work for.
If the action plan is voted favourably by theselection board, applicants will have to make a presentation to provethemselves worthy.
Trung said to start the recruitment process,public agencies needed to make a specific plan, outlining the criteriafor eligibility, procedures for application, requirements for the actionplan and costs.
After preparation was completed, the vacancy would be widely notified in the media.
