“The annual salary is 30W, which is equivalent to the salary level of an ordinary person for 10 years.” In April this year, he was admitted to a professional civil servant in a grassroots street in Shenzhen, and Yu Fei worked in a community Announcement on the platform.
This is the highlight of Yu Fei’s life. Six months ago, he was worried about not being able to find a job. He laughed at himself with a mediocre education and narrow professional employment. Now he shares his experience in applying for civil service examinations (hereafter referred to as public examinations). Netizens congratulated him unanimously. Some people joked that he would be offered as a Koi Koi for the test public, and blessed him to “go ashore” as soon as possible.
The word “going ashore” corresponds to “going to the sea” 30 years ago-according to the “Modern Chinese Dictionary”.
“Go to the sea” was a term used when China first opened up. At the beginning of reform and opening up, the market economy began to prosper.
A new free space is emerging. Some people, mainly government agencies, employees of enterprises and institutions, abandon their positions in the traditional system and move to this new space to seek development. This behavior It is called “Xiahai”. Statistics show that in 1992 alone, more than 120,000 people resigned and went to the sea, and more than 10 million people stayed without pay and worked part-time in business.
Today, the situation has changed, and more and more young people regard the market as a daunting journey, and are enamored of “going ashore”—returning to the wings of the system.
According to China News.com, this year’s National Entrance Examination plans to enroll 25,700 people, with a total of 1.576 million people signing up, with an average competition ratio of 61:1, and many positions are even one in a thousand.
Some candidates from Hunan complained that they spent nearly 100,000 on training for public examinations in the past year, but failed to get ashore during the national examination and provincial examination. Even so, now he is unemployed at home, but he still wants to take the exam for another year.
Either in the public examination, or on the way to the public examination-more and more young people choose this life trajectory.
Even the favorites of the Internet giants, there are people who want to take a test. A programmer in Tencent’s WeChat business group graduated with a master’s degree from a domestic Top2 university with an annual salary of 50W. From the beginning of the job, he was worried about being unemployed at the age of 35 in 10 years and wanted to enter the system to find a sense of security. “I plan to prepare for the public examination at the age of 30 and complete the landing goal in 5 years.”
Especially in the special year of 2020, the recruitment of enterprises has narrowed, but college students and graduate students have been increasing. According to the “2020 Fresh Graduates Spring Recruitment Job Application Report” published by the Liepin Big Data Research Institute at the beginning of this year, 38.73% of fresh graduates choose to take the civil service examination.
The direct-face pie mentioned in “Unemployment within half a year of graduation, but the start of the unlucky beginning of this Hubei farmer”, during the epidemic, programmer Xiangyang gave up returning to Beijing and chose to take the civil service examination in his hometown of Yichang.
For the past six months, he has been preparing at home. Not long ago, he tested the water for a career editor interview, but he strengthened his belief in public examination. “The salary of career editors is low, only more than 2,000 yuan, and they have to work overtime, which is far inferior to civil servants.” He plans to participate in the 2021 National Examination, and his goal is to test for public-level civil servants.
From the perspective of public examiners, this year’s opportunity cannot be missed. Under the epidemic situation, the country has made the bottom line, and local civil servants have expanded their enrollment. According to the data provided by the press conference of the Ministry of Education on September 28, as of September 1, the policy positions of party and government agencies, institutions, state-owned enterprises and other units at all levels have absorbed 280 positions. More than 10,000 graduates were employed, an increase of more than 700,000 over the same period last year, which virtually increased the chance of landing.
A prospective civil servant who was admitted to Changsha’s selection and transfer told Direct Face that it is suitable for public examination at this stage, not only because of the epidemic expansion bonus, but also because civil servants born in the 1960s gradually reached retirement age.A large number of vacant posts can give civil servants at all levels hope for rising.
Yu Fei was born in 1995: civil servants are more comfortable than foreign companies
I decided to take the public examination in September last year. When I left from a foreign company, I was anxious and confused. I was looking for a job for more than a month. The process was not smooth. I doubted myself every day.
At that time, the only positive information received was the Shenzhen civil servant recruitment notice shared by the students in the circle of friends. After many measures, I found that Shenzhen civil servants have good benefits and high salaries, so I plan to give it a try.
At that time, there was only more than a month left before the exam, and time was tight. Moreover, the civil service positions in Shenzhen have always been highly competitive. A classmate around me could enter the central environmental department for an interview with a score of 136 in the written test, but another person who took the Shenzhen tax system with a score of 150 was eliminated in the written test.
My requirements are not high, and the pressure of competition is relatively small when I choose basic street positions. After almost 200 hours of preparation, the two exams I took only took the test, the business unit was the third in the written examination, and the shortage of majors was the first in the written examination. Because of the conflict of interview time, I only went to interview with a shortage of professional civil servants. The result was the first, and I went ashore smoothly.
I found myself lucky after I went ashore. At the beginning of this year, major companies frequently broke the news of layoffs. I happened to have an iron job. After I entered the position in June, my work was easy. It was equivalent to working in a neighborhood committee. The main purpose was to do the preliminary stage of government projects, run through the approval procedures, and occasionally go. On the construction site, the daily meeting is sitting in the office, taking meeting minutes, docking business departments, etc., which is much more comfortable than before in a foreign company.
Actually, I was in a foreign company before, and my work pressure was not great. In China, the working environment of foreign companies is better than that of most domestic private companies. They abide by the labor law and do not require 996 employees. Their normal working hours are 40 hours a week. Now I’m on the street, and I have a good mentality, and there is basically no pressure. I only work 35 hours a week. I have never seen a colleague work overtime, nor have I worked overtime.
I usually eat well. I don’t need to take the unpalatable and expensive takeaway. I eat 3 meals a day at the unit canteen for 5 yuan. There are meat, vegetables, soup and fruit.
According to the data I have inquired about, my annual salary is about 30W, which is about the salary level of an ordinary person who has worked for 10 years and is about 35 years old. At this age, it is difficult for most people in the workplace to raise their salaries, and they may also encounter unemployment. The advantage of civil servants is that we have not made major mistakes, and we will not be unemployed. As seniority rises, annual salary and benefits will increase.
Liu Xu, born in 1993: I can answer what it feels like to see a cliff-like decline in wages in Zhihu
I drifted in Beijing for 2 years. Before, I worked as a programmer in China Net Library Group. China Net Library was established for 21 years. Its business is similar to Alibaba. It started with B2B. But Ali became an Internet giant, and China Net Library’s The popularity is much smaller. I haven’t heard of this company before joining the company.
Before I went to Beijing, I planned to endure hardship. I was more able to toss. I never left Hunan since I was a child. I worked as a soldier for two years in college. When I graduated from college in 2018, I decided to go to work in the best city. I chose Beijing without any hesitation. At that time, I had an idea: As long as I can live well in Beijing, I will not worry about my survival anywhere in the future.
In those two years, I lived in Liyuan, Tongzhou, and was 32 kilometers away from the office address of the China Net Database-North Third Ring Global Trade Center. I had to transfer 3 times by subway, and then transfer to Line 1 from Batong Line. Transfer to Line 5 and spend at least 3 hours on commuting every day. Fortunately, the company is relatively generous, with an entry salary of 15K, which can ensure that I have no worries about food and clothing in Beijing.
I didn’t plan to end BeiDiao so quickly from start to finish. After resigning from the China Netbank last August, my comrades-in-arms and I opened a restaurant in a college in Xi’an. After all the preparations were done, I returned Beijing continues to look for work.
years agoAfter leaving Beijing, the belongings were not taken away. During the Chinese New Year, I saw strict control in Beijing. In order to save money, I discussed with the landlord not to return to Beijing for the time being. All the household belongings in the rental house would be given to the neighbors next door.
The reason why I took the public exam at home was that I heard my parents talk too much, and I had nothing to do at home anyway, so I met my parents’ requirements for a trial test. I started to prepare in May and applied to study for more than 2 months. Unexpectedly, he landed smoothly.
This year’s market economy is poor, and Beijing’s epidemic control has been strict. I have to quarantine at my own expense when I go back. For 14 days, the daily accommodation fee is 300 yuan, plus food and transportation costs. It costs 10,000 yuan to go to Beijing. , I have to find a house and a job. I think it’s troublesome.
I have been at home for a long time, and when I think back to the days in Beijing, my biggest feeling is tired. Long commuting time, poor accommodation, no place to play on weekends, and nowhere to play basketball. I feel much more comfortable in my hometown. I can go casually when I go to the homes of my classmates and relatives. I can arrange fishing and farm stays on weekends. No traffic jams anywhere. Parking is convenient and there is no parking fee.
Catch up with this year’s public examination has become a major trend, and the grassroots enrollment expansion. Fortunately, I got on the shore in the morning. Although occasionally unwilling, my income fell from 15K to 3,000 yuan. I have to live hard in the future. I learned programming for 4 years. Basic technique “golden basin washing”……
Li Chang, born in 1991: The film and television industry eats youth rice, and taking public examinations is the best way out
I never thought that one day I would become a civil servant. If it weren’t for the epidemic at the beginning of this year, my work would never be stopped.
I am doing film and television art design. I am responsible for the filming of the crew and the preparation of props. I also include communication projects with the government, accompany the leaders to dinner, and look around the country.
Unlike most film and television workers, my career focus is not in Beijing, but in Xi’an. According to the circle of film and television circles, I belong to the northwest circle, and the “leading brothers” are Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke.
Xi’an’s film and television industry has been developing very well. I’m relatively lucky. I have noble people to help me after graduation. I know the seniors who are more reliable. I have not stopped working for so many years. Even if the tax crisis in 2018 caused a large number of studios to close down. My work rhythm has not changed. I can participate in the shooting of 3 dramas every year, basically all year round. In the past 2 years, the works broadcasted include “Mr. Yuesao”, “Good Beginning and Good Ending”, “Longhushan Zhang Tianshi”……< /p>
But the new crown epidemic at the beginning of this year was a fatal blow to the industry. The film and television industry is a capital toy. The direction of creation varies according to the source of funds. In the past ten years, investors have ranged from coal bosses to real estate bosses to Internet companies. As the Internet market goes down, capital has become more and more cautious in film and television investment.
After the outbreak, news of Internet companies layoffs continued, and the film and television industry was completely shut down from creation to distribution and broadcasting. My work stopped for a few months, and I couldn’t see the way forward, so I could only force myself to think about the next step.
The film and television industry is a typical siege. People on the outside want to go in, and those who make money inside want to go out. Most film and television practitioners are in poor health. Overwork in the industry is the norm. Although the income is higher than in many industries as a whole, but staying up late is high and the intensity is high. To put it bluntly, what you eat is youth rice.
Before I was busy with work, I couldn’t take care of so much. I suddenly settled down to think about the crisis in the future. I was almost 30 years old and couldn’t make my home in Xi’an. I couldn’t afford to be a young man, and my daughter was born. I don’t dare to work like before.
After thinking about it, I decided to go back to my hometown and take a test in an 18th-tier town, close to my parents and able to grow up with my children. I have also figured out that no matter how big the city is, there must be time to enjoy it. It is better to enjoy life in a small city than 996 in the first-tier cities.
Lei Lei, born in 1994: When choosing a major, his brain was flooded and he could only be saved by the exam
After graduating from a university in Yunnan with a master’s degree last year, I stayed at home to take a public exam. For nothing else, my major is Tiankeng.
Back then, when I applied for a biology major based on my interest, I was confused when I graduated from university. Biochemical and Environmental Materials is on the list every time the big data selects the most difficult major to find employment.
The biology I studied is a kind of pure scientific research technology type of work, assisting in pharmacy, doing drug animal experiments, including one-stop service of feeding, drug delivery, dissection, sample testing, collating data, or growing cells for cell pharmacology experiments, The income is not high, and the starting salary of master’s degree graduates in Beijing is about 7K. Low salary, boring work, no room for appreciation. Therefore, there is a lot of mobility, and there is a shortage of people all year round.
It happened that I was studying at a university in Shandong. Under the influence of the environment, I inevitably joined the public examination army, but I have to be more troublesome. I belong to the curve examination. The biology major is not only narrow in employment, but also many civil servants. Recruitment position is wrong, I want to take a postgraduate exam first to increase the chance of public examination.
So when I was filling my volunteers, my brain was flooded, and it took me at least 13 years to pay the bill.
After graduating from my master’s degree last year, I have been preparing for the civil service exam at home. I tried the provincial exam, national exam, and career category. The career category was the last one. The national exam did not enter the interview. Civil servants, because the provincial examinations apply for civil servants in counties and towns, and there is little competition pressure.
But the price to be paid by county and town civil servants is not small. Everyone has to sign an agreement to have at least five years of service in the township before being transferred. My hometown is a small county in southern Hunan. The economy is underdeveloped, and the situation in the county and town will only get worse. My old classmates persuaded me that I was overkill in entering the town and I should go to the city for the test, otherwise I might end up in the city for a lifetime. In the township.
No way, I can only afford the township exams. I actually don’t have much goals, my parents are just my son. The purpose of the examination for township civil servants is to be close to home and to take care of their parents. Although grassroots civil servants have less money and things are not necessarily less, but their hometown consumption is also low, and a salary of more than 2,000 yuan can support themselves.
Neither did I expect that someone would envy me for being so absorbed in the test.
Some time ago, I chatted with an old classmate who worked at Huawei. He is a Huawei R&D engineer. He has an annual salary of more than 300,000 yuan for a year, which easily reaches a salary that is unattainable for my major.
But according to him, many people in Huawei want to take public examinations because working at Huawei is too tiring, and the work intensity is far more than 996. Only Sundays a week can rest after get off work. There is no time to fall in love, make friends, and there is no way to make money in youth. In the deepBuying a house in Shenzhen is not as good as a 3,000 yuan job in my hometown, and at least I can have a living.
