18,000 apply for jobs in the civil service
Print Edition
DESPITE the fading appeal of jobs in the government, the first day of sign ups for China’s national civil servant exam still saw more than 18,000 applicants, up 1,600 from last year.
China kicked off registration for the 2016 national public servant exam on Thursday, with plans to recruit more than 27,000 civil servants for national-level government organs this year, a 25-percent increase from the previous year, its largest cohort of officials ever.
The 18,000 applicants were chasing nearly 5,000 positions.
The post of immigration inspection officer at the Shanghai frontier inspection bureau was the most popular, with 176 people chasing just 30 jobs.
As usual, positions below the county level and those located in remote areas were less popular, said Peng Zhongbao, an official at the State Administration of Civil Service.
The deadline for registration is next Saturday, while the written test will take place on November 29.
