Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Could
you pass China's grueling, 5-hour civil service exam?
Taking a
test to get a chance to be interviewed isn’t that unusual for government jobs
in any country. But the extent and volume of China’s civil service jobs seem extraordinary
demanding to the test takers. There are 135 questions to choose answers in various
fields, such as math, logic, law and cultures, followed by three hours of essay
questions.
This
once-a-year test is held for a civil service job in China. As many as 36 people
compete for one job. Why do so many people want to work for the government?
Stability
and perks. While upfront salary isn’t especially high compared to the jobs that
those best and brightest applicants could get in the job market, the right and
free accommodation to live in the nation’s capital is tremendous especially for
those who live in rural areas. Also, the stability and credit a civil servant
gets is incomparable to any other job, such as a car loan, mortgage and
marriage.
Enjoy
challenging sample questions to find if you could think of getting a prestigious
job in China.
