BEIJING, Beijing, February 28 (Liu Huan) The written examination of the 2023 civil service recruitment examination in more than 20 provinces ended a few days ago. Many provinces have expanded the recruitment plan for civil servants, and the recruitment policy has been further tilted towards college graduates and grassroots. Combing the recruitment and registration in recent years, we can see that the popularity of civil service examinations remains high, the national and provincial examinations have expanded year after year, and the number of applicants has been increasing.
It is an indisputable fact that "the public examination is hot". Do these young people still value "stability" and preparation when they are rushing for the exam?
Take the "test"Male "The road
According to the news published on the website of the National Civil Service Bureau, 37,100 people will be recruited in the national examination plan in 2023, an increase of 18.7% compared with the planned recruitment in 2022. This is also the fourth consecutive year of enrollment expansion in the national examination recruitment.
Chen Jin is a member of this million "imperial examination army".
She is 27 years old. In June, 2022, she got a graduate diploma from a double-non-one college in Wuhan. Previously, Chen Jin had participated in the 2022 national examination, the Hubei provincial examination and the Wuhan career compilation examination.
After failing in the exams one after another, she was anxious to see that many of her peers around her were employed and her job was not settled. Parents advised her to continue preparing for the public examination. "After all, this job is relatively stable in all aspects." Parents said.
After thinking about it again and again, Chen Jin decided to prepare for the exam and embark on the road of civil servants taking the exam in 2023. As a journalism major, she chose the grass-roots post of a maritime bureau in Wuhan. "Last year, she was a fresh graduate, and the post she reported was the tax bureau. There were many posts but the competition was fierce. This year, this position has little to do with the major, but the competition is small and there are fewer restrictions on applying. "
On January 8, 2023, the national examination was opened, and Chen Jin once again sat in the national examination room. In this year, 1.525 million people actually took the exam, the reference rate was about 78.3%, and the ratio of the number of people taking the exam to the number of employment plans was about 41:1.
Regarding the competition ratio, Qian Yuying, a professor at the School of Politics and Public Administration of Suzhou University, told Zhongxin.com that in recent years, due to the superposition of various factors, employment is relatively difficult, and candidates are increasingly cherishing exam opportunities. "If many candidates used to prepare for the exam just with the mentality of giving it a try, now it is ‘ Burn one’s bridges ’ The determination, so go all out to prepare for the exam. "
Judging from local recruitment, in 2023, the provincial examinations in many places also expanded. Among them, Gansu plans to recruit 4249 students in 2023, an increase of about 79.7% compared with 2022.
Wei Munan, a candidate from Lanzhou, finished the postgraduate exam at the end of December 2022 and is ready to take the civil service exam in Gansu Province on February 25th. At the age of 25, she has participated in three postgraduate entrance examinations, one provincial examination and one career preparation examination.
Wei Munan remembers that on the afternoon of the end of the postgraduate entrance examination, with the bell ringing at the end of the professional examination of visual arts, Wei Munan knew that he might encounter "Waterloo" again this time.
"I felt that I didn’t play well when I took the exam. Therefore, the next focus is on employment, and the provincial examination and career compilation will try again. " Wei Munan is going to apply for the grass-roots administrative post of a unit in Lanzhou and the network radio and television post of a public institution.
Why did you choose Kao Gong?
In the opinion of experts, Wei Munan’s choice is not unreasonable.
Liu Youzhen, an expert from Huatu Education Research Institute, believes that in recent years, both the national examination and the local civil service examination have been expanding enrollment, especially for college graduates, and the competition is fierce. In addition, the scale of postgraduate entrance examination is getting bigger and bigger, and many candidates also prepare for the public examination and postgraduate entrance examination.
Before choosing to join the public examination army again, Chen Jin learned about the changes and policies of recruitment in recent years, and repeatedly asked himself why he wanted to take the civil service examination.
She stayed up all night reading some books about related work and browsing many posts on the topic of civil servants, trying to know what the work of civil servants is like.
"I have taken so many exams for policy positions, which have little to do with my major and ideals. Then am I just for an admission notice?" Chen Jin said.
Ma Yang, 31, left the university campus in 2014. After changing jobs, he still chose to continue to try the public examination and seek a stable and decent job.
After the formal work, he said: "In fact, this job is not much different from other positions. Some people struggle and some people slack off. In comparison, the specific job requirements of civil servants are more detailed, and the social situations faced by grassroots posts are also more diverse. "
Liu Youzhen also pointed out that although the recruitment of civil servants has been expanding in recent years, judging from the recruitment announcement, units at all levels have higher and higher requirements for the matching between people and posts, further refining the professional requirements.
Regarding whether college students should choose to take the exam after graduation, Liu Xin, a professor at the Institute of Organization and Human Resources, School of Public Administration, China Renmin University, told Zhongxin. com that before choosing, candidates should consider clearly whether they can adapt to the environment of specific units or positions, and at the same time think about whether this job can realize their career development expectations.
"Civil servants are in a complex administrative system. The job requirements and working environment of civil servants working in different regions, types and different levels of party and government organs are actually very different." Liu Xin pointed out that in fact, the work of civil servants is complicated, and it is not easy to deal with some emergencies.
What do the current candidates value when choosing civil servants?
Talking about the original ideal career, Chen Jin said that she was very interested in nature’s animals and plants since childhood. "When I just graduated, an aunt at home asked me where I wanted to work, so I jokingly said zoo or farm. She smiled after listening. Because there is no specific plan and the understanding is not deep, in the eyes of many people, this is indeed an unrealistic idea. "
After learning more about the positions of civil servants, Chen Jin thinks that this job may be an opportunity to exercise himself.
"Civil servants are the front-line liaison between the masses and the government, and their work will indeed be complicated, but for young people like me who lack social experience, this is a fertilizer for life, which can help me understand the society better and improve my ability to solve problems."
She hopes to constantly improve herself after being admitted to the civil service, and take the experience of grassroots work as the material to help her learn more about the situation in more fields.
Qian Yuying also pointed out that in the past, the fixed establishment and salary were the two major factors that most candidates considered when choosing to apply for civil servants. Now, with the reform of civil servants’ welfare and management mode, some positions may be changed from lifelong system to contract system.
"So, today’s candidates value not only stability, but also their own ideals and career development prospects." Qian Yuying said. (At the request of the interviewee, some people in the article are pseudonyms) (End)
