More than One-Third of Applicants Skip Civil Service Exam

(Beijing) – More than one-third of the people who signed up to take the test to become a civil servant next year did not show up for the exam on November 30, a sign that interest in a government career may be ebbing

The low turnout came as government agencies made more jobs available for candidates. A record 22,000 positions were made available, 3,000 more than last year.
