【Learn Chinese】The Civil Servant Examination in China
 
In China, the civil servant examination, known as “公务员考试” (gōng wù yuán kǎo shì), is a highly competitive and prestigious test that attracts millions of candidates each year. It is a gateway to a stable and respected career in the government sector.
The examination is divided into two main parts: the written test and the interview. The written test, called “笔试” (bǐ shì), includes two subjects. The first one is the “行政职业能力测验” (xíng zhèng zhí yè néng lì cè yàn), or Administrative Ability Test (AAT). It assesses candidates' logical reasoning, data analysis, and comprehension skills through multiple-choice questions. The second subject is the “申论” (shēn lùn), which tests candidates' ability to analyze and solve practical problems. Candidates are required to write essays based on given materials.
Preparing for the civil servant examination is a challenging and time-consuming process. Many candidates attend training courses and join study groups to improve their skills and knowledge. Some even take a year or two off from work or school to focus solely on their preparation. The competition is fierce, with the admission rate usually below 1%. However, the rewards of becoming a civil servant are significant, including job stability, good benefits, and opportunities for career advancement.
In recent years, the civil servant examination has also become more diverse and inclusive. The government has been encouraging more people from different backgrounds to apply, including those with disabilities and minority groups. This reflects the government's commitment to building a more representative and capable workforce.
For those who are interested in a career in the Chinese government, the civil servant examination is a crucial step. It not only tests one's professional abilities but also their dedication and perseverance. With careful preparation and a positive attitude, candidates can increase their chances of success and embark on a rewarding career in public service.
