The registration process for the 2006 civil servant recruitment examination for central state agencies has ended, but the “civil service craze” continues unabated. This time, 10,282 people were recruited from the public. The number of applicants was close to 1 million. More than 500,000 people passed the qualification review. The ratio of applications to planned recruitment was as high as 48.6:1. Some people marvel: The civil service recruitment examination has now surpassed the college entrance examination and postgraduate entrance examination, becoming the most competitive examination in China today.
So many people are keen to apply for civil servants, which shows that the central state agencies have a high reputation and good career development prospects. For college graduates, working in central government agencies not only provides them with social status, but more importantly, they provide an opportunity to quickly exercise and grow their talents, and a platform to realize their ideals and ambitions and enhance the value of their lives. New graduates entering the government will bring more vitality and vitality to the civil service.
However, it is undeniable that there are also some problems in this "civil service craze". One is to blindly follow the trend. Some college students see their classmates rushing to sign up, and they have given up their original plans for postgraduate entrance examinations or their ideals of starting their own business. Second, expectations are too high. Many people do not understand the responsibilities and work characteristics of civil servants. Some people think that being a civil servant is "being an official". Civil servants have high benefits and benefits, and stepping into the government gate is like entering a "safe deposit box". Others believe that civil servants have no pressure from competition and live a leisurely life of "going to work at eight o'clock and arriving at nine o'clock, having a cup of tea and a newspaper."
In fact, these are all misunderstandings about civil servants. From the perspective of status, today's civil servants are more of a professional concept; from the perspective of workload, most government agencies now have heavy workloads, and working overtime is "commonplace"; from the perspective of welfare benefits, civil servants' benefits have indeed improved in recent years, but the income is generally only at a medium level; from the perspective of occupational risks, although civil servant positions are relatively stable, the establishment of performance appraisal and elimination mechanisms makes civil servants no longer an unbeatable "iron rice bowl." The mass appraisal organs, elimination system of mediocre officials, administrative inaction and fault accountability system developed in various places have put great pressure on civil servants, thusFrom 1996 to the end of 2003, a total of 16,000 civil servants were dismissed across the country. This shows that the "good times" for civil servants to hang around are no longer possible.
From the perspective of job responsibilities, civil servants, as participants, organizers and implementers of government work and public affairs, shoulder very important social responsibilities. With the implementation of the Civil Servant Law, various localities have gradually improved and improved relevant rules and regulations, and continuously improved the public management, public administration, and public service capabilities of civil servants, as well as their ability to govern, administer, and act in accordance with the law. Only by being high-spirited, energetic, committed to their duties, and diligent in their responsibilities can we adapt to the requirements of civil servants in the new situation. The unrealistic ideas of trying to "enjoy life" after being admitted to a government agency and seeking benefits are not only contrary to the original intention of the country to recruit civil servants, but also are incompatible with the general trend of civil servant management.
In addition, from the perspective of human resource allocation in the entire society, overheating of civil servants also has a negative side. Relevant departments of the central government have repeatedly emphasized that college graduates are encouraged to find employment at the grassroots level and start their own businesses. However, many graduates still regard government agencies as their first choice for employment. If high-quality talents are concentrated in government departments, a large number of talents who should have played a role in more professional units will be stuck in government departments, resulting in a certain waste of talent.
In the face of unprecedented competitive pressure and the "civil service craze", young people in particular must maintain a calm mind and make scientific plans for their career development based on actual needs and personal circumstances. They should not blindly follow the trend and have thousands of people crowded on a single-plank bridge. Instead, they should change their single career selection orientation and develop towards personalized and diversified development.
