——This article is the entry of the 7th National College Students " Review Star" Selection Contest of the Red Network
The online registration for the 2022 civil service examination was launched, and the planned enrollment was 31,200, an increase of more than 5,000 people year-on-year. Affected by the impact of the epidemic and the slowdown in economic speed, the popularity of the "iron rice bowl" of civil servants has not decreased. In the new year, the national examination continues to tilt towards fresh graduates, and nearly 70% of the positions only recruit fresh graduates. (October 16 Caixin)
In recent years, the fierce competition for civil servants has been difficult to ease, and the number of applicants for the national examination has exceeded one million for the first time since 2009, and as of last year, the number of applicants for the national examination has exceeded one million for 12 consecutive years. The overall reporting ratio of the 2021 national examination is more than 60:1, the reporting ratio of 36 posts is more than 1000:1, and the reporting ratio is as high as 2315:1.
It is true that the work stability, high salary, and high status of civil servants and other systems are strong, and many people have to go in through the scalp, but the author believes that in the era of drifting with the tide, it is better to calm down and think about whether you like, whether you are suitable, and whether you really love the job of civil servants. There are many choices in life, you must not "hang on a tree", can you give other "trees" some opportunities, but also give yourself a chance to be a true and relaxed self?
In fact, many examiners are coerced by external voices to embark on this path. On some social platforms, many people share their experiences in editing. Among them, there is a category of "retaliatory examination" crowd, they are tested to meet the expectations of others, for the face of their parents, care about other people's views, and even have ideas such as "no filial piety has three, no editing is big" and other ideas fill the entire social platform. There are also some people who have failed many examinations, annual examinations, and finally fruitless, "driving themselves crazy", complaining about melancholy and emotions, and hurting themselves after all.
The work inside the organization is like a "besieged city", and people on the outside desperately want to go in, and people on the inside want to come out. Think about it, a civil servant is actually a stable and ordinary job. Like corporate workers, civil servants work the same nine-to-five, or even harder; salaries are not high or low to satisfy life. Some editors complained that the system had limited their own development and felt that it was a pity that food was tasteless and abandoned. Not long ago, 985 graduates resigned from civil servants to sell pork, believing that there was no difference between the two jobs.
China's "Occupational Classification Dictionary" (2015 edition) shows that there are 8 major categories of occupations in China, 66 medium categories, 413 sub-categories, and 1838 sub-categories of occupations. In recent years, there have been some emerging occupations, and there is a lot of room for choice in the occupations of our people. If you really have a clear understanding of civil servants, a determination to serve the people, and a screw consciousness, then your choice and persistence are beyond reproach. If you just want to try to be stable and make yourself "scarred", you may wish to let go, the reality is more selective. Choose a job that you really love and is suitable for you to shine and be your true self.
In the era of rapid social and economic development, the choice of career should be more cautious. What suits you is the best, and the end of the universe is not necessarily compiled.
