From "not taking the official examination in different places" to "taking the examination for civil servants in various places"

A national "inspection team" waits to come ashore

"Wherever we get the exam, we will take the national civil service post exam." Recently, this "inspection declaration" has become a hot topic on social media. Under related topics, many candidates lamented that their civil service inspection finally ended this March.

According to the website of the State Civil Service Bureau, 2023,3 people will be enrolled in the 71 national examination, and the written examination of public subjects of central organs and their directly subordinate institutions will be held simultaneously in 31 cities and 287,66863 examination rooms in 194 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) across the country. The number of confirmed applicants reached 8,152,5, the actual number of references was 41,1,<>, and the ratio of the actual number of people taking the exam to the number of recruitment plans was about <>:<>.

The fierce competition for the public examination also made the candidates who participated in the "patrol examination" tighten the strings. Among the civil service examination groups, the saying that "the examination is not in a different place, and the other place is not a township" has long been widely circulated. "Going ashore" in a foreign country far from their parents is not able to become a local high-income group, and they are far from their familiar life and family, which is a common suffering of many people who "go ashore" in different places.

So what is the reason why candidates who are well aware of the admonition of "the test is not in a different place" continue to choose to patrol the exam and look for shore everywhere?

"More exams to have a chance, only to have the right to choose"

The story of Liu Xiaohao, a master of China University of Mining and Technology, was called "Huanjiangxi Patrol Examination" by netizens. Liu Xiaohao, a native of Henan, reported all the provinces around Jiangxi. Whether the city economy is developed is an important indicator for Liu Xiaohao's application. "These places and positions I signed up for are all things I am willing to go to, not just applying for the exam to practice."

Since mid-February alone, Liu Xiaohao has traveled to five provinces for exams in less than a month. On February 2, Liu Xiaohao was selected for a transfer position in Hubei. After that, "No. 5 is the selection of Henan, the 2th is the selection of Guangdong, the 12th is the provincial examination of Henan, and the 18th of March is the municipal examination of Shenzhen." Liu Xiaohao took stock of his inspection experience.

Xiao Luo, a graduate student of Wuhan University, covered Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and other places, and if it were not for the fact that he missed the exam in Zhejiang because of the new crown, this list of inspection provinces would be longer.

However, unfortunately, in the current public results and list, Liu Xiaohao and Xiao Luo have not "landed" in these civil service positions that have been inspected.

Many members of the "inspection team" told the Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News reporter that what they need more now is to pass the exam than to answer the question of "where do you really go for the test?" "More exams to have a chance, those who have not passed the exam have no choice."

According to the website of the State Civil Service Bureau, 2023,3 people will be enrolled in the 71 national examination, and the written examination of public subjects of the central organs and their directly subordinate institutions will be held simultaneously in 31 cities and 287,66863 examination rooms in 194 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) across the country. The number of confirmed applicants reached 8,152,5, the actual number of references was 41,1,<>, and the ratio of the actual number of people taking the exam to the number of recruitment plans was about <>:<>.

In addition to the national examination, the provincial examination, municipal examination, and selection and transfer of various provinces are also a must for the "inspection team". Liu Xiaohao told reporters that among the exams he has taken, the Shenzhen examination is the most competitive, with a ratio of nearly 160:1.

In his first year of preparing for the civil service exam, Xiao Gu was still a senior student, and only applied for civil servants and teachers in his hometown Jiangsu and Shanghai. In the first year of preparing for the exam, Xiao Gu failed to successfully "go ashore", but watched his friend and fellow villager from the same two colleges "ashore" in Tianjin after the inspection and lived a good life, and Xiao Gu also joined the team of the inspection in the second year.

Analyzing the reasons for his friend's success, Xiao Gu believes that trying more in the patrol exam is the key. "She took three exams in Jiangsu, selection, civil servants, and municipal (unit positions), and then she also went to Anhui, Tianjin, Zhejiang, which I know, I don't know more." Xiao Gu, who very much hopes to work in his hometown, finally chose to go out of Jiangsu and start the inspection.

"The exam is the best answer after choosing"

For Xiao Luo, Xiao Gu and Liu Xiaohao, Kao Gong is the best solution in their eyes.

Xiao Gu told the Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News reporter that the public examination is the fairest path for her. "Some banks and securities companies will ask parents what they do, these questions are very personal, I personally don't like it. It is slightly better to go to a state-owned enterprise interview, the structured interview is double-blind, he does not know your family and does not know your name. Xiao Gu believes that with his current qualifications, there is very little chance of entering a good state-owned enterprise in his hometown.

Xiao Luo told reporters that she did not recognize the examination at the beginning, but after experiencing the autumn recruitment, she found that the examination was the best answer she wanted.

"It's not that I haven't seen other opportunities, but I found a way out and then weighed the best answer after each choice, which is different from when I was in a hurry to find a way when I was just an undergraduate." Xiao Luo said.

Xiao Luo has participated in autumn recruitment and has submitted a lot of resumes. "When I submitted my resume, I could feel the lack of my professional skills, and I felt that our major was more suitable for graduate school. If I look for a job based on my major, it will be more of the kind of work that can be replaced, and there is nothing particularly valuable. Therefore, Kao Gong is a better choice. ”

On the issue of treatment, Xiao Luo also faces the same gap. "If I go to some enterprises in my major, I may not have such treatment as a civil servant, which is my conclusion through many comparisons. Some of my senior brothers and sisters will still go to the establishment after two or three years, no matter what work they do before graduation. ”

Liu Xiaohao, who studied geology-related majors at China University of Mining and Technology, found that the positions he could apply for were very limited before graduating from his bachelor's degree, and he was almost limited to seismological bureaus in various places. With the idea of changing this application constraint, Liu Xiaohao crossed the entrance examination to the university to major related to economics.

In the face of the new major, the eligible application positions have been greatly expanded, and Liu Xiaohao's road to the examination has become longer.

Liu Xiaohao told reporters that he is not a superstitious person who "goes ashore", but only reports for cities and posts that he really wants to go to and has future development. In addition to the civil service examination, he also registered for the examination for well-known central enterprises, state-owned enterprises and institutions. Looking back on his experience of finding a job after graduation, Liu Xiaohao said that he may have submitted his resume or applied for nearly 30 positions, and he also got many job opportunities.

However, for Liu Xiaohao, who does not believe in the idea of "going ashore", some popular units, such as tobacco, electricity and other related institutions, will have content that Liu Xiaohao is difficult to accept, such as "long-term business trips in the next 10~15 years" and "household registration cannot be guaranteed". Against this background, taking the Henan Provincial Examination became his favorite exam.

"Where to take the test, and from there to go home"

Also a member of the "inspection team", Liu Xiaohao said that he was willing to stabilize in the city where he successfully "landed", while Xiao Luo and Xiao Gu imagined that they could "go ashore" in a "less ideal" place before passing the exam.

"Where to take the test, and then go home from there" is Xiao Gu's choice, and Xiao Luo hopes to be admitted to a more economically developed city.

Xiao Gu, who likes life in her hometown, told the Chengdu Business Daily - Red Star News reporter that although she is far from her hometown in a city like Tianjin, she is still more attractive than working in a private enterprise in her hometown.

"I'll eventually go back to my hometown, and maybe after working there for a few years, I'll find a way to come back again, but now I have to go ashore first because I'm now preparing for the exam full-time." Although my parents said that I can take the exam for 10 years, and I can not work, I feel that I no longer work, and I have a slight sense of disconnection from society. Xiao Gu began to feel a little anxious.

At present, Xiaoluo's guaranteed job opportunity is a talent introduction project of a public institution in southern Jiangsu. "At first, I didn't really want to go to that place, but after experiencing some things, I felt as if there were more possibilities in economically developed places, so I decided to go."

Xiao Luo told reporters that she thought about retaining the identity of fresh graduates in the career selection period, not signing a job, and choosing to continue the exam until she "landed" where she most wanted to go, but she felt that the cost was too great. "The first is that my own self-esteem does not allow, I feel that after graduating, I want to find a job, and I will not allow myself to have such a stage as a career selection period. The second is that I think I can continue to take the exam after working, and there may be no opportunity to choose a transfer, but there are still national and provincial examinations. ”

Xiao Luo believes that when she comes to the aforementioned job, she has a 90% probability of continuing the exam and going to her favorite "shore".

Xiong Bingqi, president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said in an interview with a reporter from Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News that for candidates on patrol examinations, as long as the time of the provincial examination does not conflict and meets the corresponding registration conditions, they will seize the opportunity, which is actually a realistic portrayal of the current difficulty in finding employment for students.

"(Under such competition), in fact, the possibility of 'going ashore' for the inspection examination is very small, but in addition to the opportunity to prepare for the public examination, students' employment options outside the system are very limited, which actually reflects the current dilemma of students choosing a career." For students who are constantly rushing to the exam, it is also necessary to remind them to rationally position themselves and try their best to plan for job search. Xiong Bingqi gave such advice.
