Netizen consultation:
Why did I work so hard to take the civil service exam, but after being admitted to the civil service, I was not as happy as I imagined?
My reply:
Civil servants are indeed a relatively ideal job for ordinary people, because after being admitted to the civil service position, the biggest advantage is that they do not need to worry about unemployment.
However, the position of a civil servant is just a stable job, and there will be many contradictions and problems in the position of a civil servant, which may not be as ideal as you imagined. In response to your question, I suggest that we can consider the following aspects.
First, the salaries and benefits of civil servants are generally not high, and this is a very real problem
A young person can be admitted to the position of a civil servant, at least he can breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, because being admitted to the position of a civil servant means that you have obtained a stable job, and at worst there will be no unemployment in this life, of course, the premise is that you can complete the job step by step and do not make big mistakes.
However, working in the position of a civil servant will not make you happy, because the salary of civil servants is generally not high, before joining the Internet, there are many people on the Internet who say that the annual salary of civil servants is hundreds of thousands is very normal, when you really enter the job, only to find that the salary of civil servants is three or four thousand per month is the real normal.
For the current standard of living, a bachelor's salary of three or four thousand yuan per month is actually just a very ordinary life in a small county, and you need to accumulate many years if you want to buy a house and a car.
Second, it is normal for many civil servants to work overtime, which is very different from that of enterprises
There is a second very important factor that is that civil servants are not as happy as they imagined, and the difference between reality is indeed too big.
Many young people learn about relevant information from the Internet before taking the civil service examination, and see that many people say that they do not need to worry about unemployment after being admitted to the civil service position, there is not much work pressure, and they go to work to drink tea and read the newspaper, and they are 9 to 5 every day.
When you are really admitted to the civil service position, especially the position of the main department or the township civil servant, it is very normal to work overtime every day, and you will face a lot of complicated transactional work, and it is difficult to get such time if you want to be able to take a break, because there are also a lot of inspections by the higher departments.
3. Adjust your mentality and be content and happy, so that you can always be happy
Although the salary of working in a civil servant position is not high, it is a very important reality that the work pressure is relatively high, and it is also a place where there is a great gap between you before and after you join the job. But I think that since you are admitted to the civil service position, you should feel at ease to work in this position, because you may not be able to find a better opportunity if you leave the civil service position.
Whether you work in a unit within the system, or go to work in an outside company, you will face different problems, in the system you are facing the problem of high work pressure and low salary, and in the outside of the enterprise you will also face the trouble of being unemployed or not being able to complete the performance, so no job is perfect.
I suggest that you can adjust your mentality, no matter what kind of unit you work in, be content and happy, you can get a good attitude, you can live every day, if you always feel dissatisfied with the status quo, then you will be very troubled, the key is that you are not able to solve these problems.
