Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Competition for civil service jobs growing
There are as many as 1,580,000 qualified applicants who wish to be one of 25,700 new civil servants in China. The odds are less than two per 100 applicants, one of the most competitive jobs that you can think of anywhere in the world. Of the 25,700 job openings, 8,300 positions will be appointed in western provinces or rural areas, where living and working conditions are far from modern standards. Why is a civil servant job so popular despite the competition and location? A civil servant job is considered as the iron rice bowl in China, an occupation with guaranteed security, income, and benefits. Also, as a government employee, their status is highly regarded and trusted, thus they could get better financial credit and credentials. Also, because of the Covid-19 aftershock, more people try to get a job that will not be affected by future uncertainties.
Now, those who passed the qualification assessment will take a written test, interviews, and health checks to be a new civil servant.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about how eager people are to serve the nation in China.
