Some people may say that "college entrance examination students" in their thirties can hardly compete with fresh college graduates in the civil service examination. There is some truth in this statement, because "senior candidates" have been away from the university campus for a long time, and if they do not engage in work related to their majors, their professional theoretical level will decline. In addition, many "college entrance examination students" take the civil service examination while working, so they can't devote themselves to the preparation of the civil service examination, and the results of the public examination will also be negatively affected. But we should know that "senior candidates" are generally "veterans" who have fought many battles. Some of them have participated in more than a dozen civil service examinations in recent years, and they have quite rich experience in examinations. Their strength is not necessarily weaker than that of recent college graduates.
2. Generally speaking, under the condition of the same academic qualifications, the career development prospects of newly recruited civil servants who are close to 35 years old are better than those of young college graduates who are in their twenties. At present, the "reuse and promotion" in the civil service system attaches great importance to age, and it is a trend for cadres to be younger. If you are admitted to a civil servant at the age of 30, the chances of promotion and reuse will be much less.
For a simple example, a 38-year-old civil servant who has worked for five years and a 28-year-old civil servant who has worked for five years will be promoted to a deputy-level leadership position, and that 28-year-old civil servant will be more easily favored by the organization unless he is very disappointing or makes some mistakes that lead to his disqualification from promotion.
3. Of course, if the applicant is a municipal organ or a provincial organ, there are relatively more vacant high-level positions, and older civil servants will have more promotion opportunities as long as they work hard.
Back to the question at the beginning of the article, I am almost 35 years old. Is it appropriate to apply for civil servants? This has a lot to do with the candidates' pursuit of life. If you want to pursue a stable job, please seize the last chance and do your best. If you want to pursue a higher rank, please think about it, otherwise even if you are admitted, it is likely to be painful.
