The wave of registration for national exams is coming again.
In 10 days, 1.5 million people signed up and 1.4 million people passed the trial.
Both figures are about 100,000 larger than the same period last year.
These candidates will compete for 25,726 positions in one month, with an average recruitment ratio of about 54:1.
Registration is only the first step to "landing", but in this initial game, city selection, unit preference, professional constraints, work experience...this black box experiment with multiple factors determines the difficulty of landing?
Choose city and unit, half flame and half sea water
Cities and units are often actively selected by candidates.
Compared with other jobs, the most obvious feature of civil servants may be "stability." This is basically a consensus within and outside the circle.
But this kind of stability also means that it is best to select cities and units in one step. The initial simple registration may determine where you will work and live in the next few decades.
This psychology is reflected in the national exam registration, that is, candidates are flocking to popular units in the developed eastern provinces; and some positions in the underdeveloped areas in the central western part are not satisfied or even recruited.
Take the 20 jobs that are the most difficult to "go ashore" in the 2021 National Examination as an example. Among them, 15 jobs are located in municipalities, provincial capitals, and prefecture-level cities in developed eastern provinces. Local tax bureaus are popular units.
Another five positions appeared in Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province, Jiayuguan City, Gansu Province, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, Meishan City, Sichuan Province, and Yichun City, Jiangxi Province.
It is worth mentioning that major central cities have already raised the threshold of applying for the exam through card education, card graduation, card basic-level work experience, etc. If the application conditions similar to those in the central and western cities are provided, this list may be more concentrated. More gathered.
In this national exam registration, there are also positions that have not been reviewed.
According to Zhong Gong Education, as of 17:30 on October 24 (the deadline for registration), there are still 168 jobs with 0 people who have passed the review, including those from central cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.
What is causing this?
Looking closely at the recruitment details of these positions, we can find that some positions have high work intensity and difficult conditions, and often work overtime on business trips. For example, some positions need to work on ships, patrol mountains at night, and some positions are responsible for emergency response, investigation and case handling. Work, normal rest and vacation cannot be guaranteed.
In addition, some positions do require professional skills and experience in firefighting, aviation, navigation, and law, or require physical fitness.
Among these 168 positions, 114 positions require physical fitness assessments in accordance with the requirements. Some positions of the Ministry of Public Security have more specific requirements and directly designate applicants to have the top eight results of certain sports events in recent years.
Passive choices in the public examination market are everywhere
In addition to the active selection of candidates for "selecting cities and units", the passive selection of majors, party members or the masses, freshmen or non-graduates, undergraduates or masters, and men or women in the job list of the National Examinations over the years has always existed.
Among the 13,172 positions opened for the National Entrance Examination in 2021, 25,726 civil servants can be hired at most.
But if you stack up layers of conditions, how many chances do you have?
Regardless of major, calculate in a broad sense. What kind of difficulty will a non-party member, non-master, non-graduate, and non-service grassroots project experience experience?
After a round of screening, about 12,000 jobs were closed to the above-mentioned three non-women.
People who don’t understand the national exam may say that even if there are more than 1,000 positions, the number is still quite large.
However, civil service examinations also have certain requirements for recruiting personnel to study in majors.
If this woman is studying journalism (one of the majors with a large number of civil servants), there will be 171 jobs waiting for her to choose.
There are also 40 posts in the fire brigade of various localities that are not limited to professions. This lady could also apply for the exam, but these fire posts are only for current firefighters.
There is also an unrestricted professional position, which is only open to candidates from Taiwan province.
When landing in a specific city, the number of job candidates will be narrowed to single digits.
If this "non-master, non-graduate, non-party member" lady studies a slightly less popular major, such as chemistry, looking at China, she will only have 7 positions to apply for.
Differences from majors will also significantly affect the difficulty of public examination.
Taking into account the differences in the personal circumstances of different candidates, not all candidates are the above-mentioned three non-women, the following figure only screens the number of candidates by profession, which can roughly understand the fierce competition of each professional exam.
We have drawn a number of dividing lines between recruitment ratios, the most central one is "choose one in a hundred", that is, one person out of 100 candidates will be recruited.
In the figure, the farther to the lower right, the higher the intensity of recruitment; the higher the upper left, the lower the intensity of recruitment.
The most competitive majors include cultural relics and museology, visual communication design, biology, food science and engineering, materials, etc. The average recruitment ratio of these majors in the national examination is more than 150:1.
Such majors are usually difficult to find employment in the society, and a large number of candidates compete for public examinations.
Majors with relatively small competition, including clinical medicine, customs management, aerospace, etc., have an average recruitment ratio of less than 20:1.
This is mainly because, on the one hand, public examination is not a mainstream way for students in the major to enter a higher education or employment; on the other hand, national examination positions often require corresponding skills or practising certificates, and the threshold for objective submission is higher, so the number of applicants is small.
Among the two, there are a large number of professional recruitment ratios that fall between 150:1 and 20:1. From the average recruitment ratio, the degree of competition in these majors is moderate.
But it is worth mentioning that among these, there are some majors that have a large number of candidates for examinations, such as finance, economics, journalism, and computer science.
If there are high-quality jobs with low entry thresholds in central cities, very high recruitment rates are likely to occur. Generally, nine out of ten jobs that are the most difficult to land are in this category.
After five rounds and six generals, what exactly is the position won?
The answer to this question varies from post to post.
Taking the National Examination as an example, the positions can be divided into two categories: "posts in central organs and their directly affiliated institutions at the provincial level" and "posts in directly affiliated institutions at the municipal (prefectural) level and below".
These two types of positions have a certain degree of differentiated positioning. The former focuses more on macro analysis, where research, evaluation, and planning are common terms for work content; the latter focuses on solving practical problems with detailed and trivial work content.
In the figure below, we provide common cases of two types of civil servants, and provide some job keywords according to position.
For example, if the post is also graduated from an economics major, if the hired position is located in a central or provincial-level agency, the civil servant may participate in bilateral and multilateral consultations and draft leadership speeches; if the hired position is set at the municipal (prefecture) level, This civil servant may be more responsible for specific matters such as taxation and social security collection.
