Chapter 4 Examination and Recruitment Principles (3)

  The civil service exam has been over for a while, and I'm still rejoicing to this day. Thinking back to the confusion and despair after graduation, it's an exaggeration to say that I was wandering on the edge of desperation. Every time I rushed to recruitment fairs, the grand scene would make me think of Cao Cao's 800,000-strong army in The Battle of Red Cliffs, and the phrase "total annihilation" always made my heart tremble with fear.

  I happened to see the recruitment announcement of civil servants in my hometown. I don't know if it's an arrangement of fate or a coincidence, but I successfully registered at the last minute.

  Next is to break the cauldron and sink the boat, back against the water for a war. I used up all my savings to report the administrative ability test tutoring class of a training school. Looking back, I had a feeling of finding "a lighthouse in the sea of bitterness" at the first lesson. For half a month, I listened to classes crazily every day, did exercises, indulged in them and couldn't extricate myself, feeling a sense of fulfillment and passion that I had never had since I started school.

  Finally, I got the second place in the written test for the job application, and then I passed the relatively fair interview as if I had divine help... Today, I received the formal employment notice from the unit.

  When I was at my most hopeless, **training school** ignited the spark of my desire for happiness and pointed out the direction for me to strive forward. I sincerely wish that **training school** can help more students achieve their life dreams.

  This recruitment notice also appeared in the student dormitory's bulletin board. Two thank-you letters were sincere and substantial, attracting many students to stop and watch. After reading the first one, they congratulated themselves on discovering the training school ten years earlier than others, no need to be too anxious. Looking at another letter, it was even more touching, triggering a deep resonance in their hearts. Li Zhiyuan was also among those who watched, moved for a long time, and secretly wrote down the name of the training center, planning to sign up soon. After attending one class, he got guidance from a famous teacher, suddenly enlightened, and after returning home, he talked about his test-taking strategy:

  "What is referred to as administrative ability testing, intuitively speaking, is a test of intelligence. From the perspective of type, it can be divided into five major parts, each with its own characteristics, and must be practiced specifically for each item before comprehensive practice can achieve the best results. This is what is meant by 'modular training, separate and combined attack'."

  Xu Wei was not moved, did not follow the trend to participate in training classes. He believed that he started late, and time did not allow him to systematically review, so he could only use the "sea of questions" tactics, as soon as possible to find the feeling. He set a simple review plan: with two days as a cycle, the first day for mock exams, the second day for correction and summary. So alternating cycles, until the exam.

  Because he had never been in contact with administrative ability test questions before, Xu Wei's first mock exam was quite disheveled. More than half of the prescribed time was spent, and only a small part of the questions were completed. The scope of those questions is as broad as Diderot's "Encyclopedia", covering multiple aspects of knowledge such as law, politics, economics, mathematics, humanities, science and technology, he almost collapsed by the end.

  The second day's review and summary. Due to the heavy casualties in the previous simulation, the workload of rescuing and treating the wounded was enormous. Xu Wei's level was limited, so during the summary, he could only refer to the answers to find his weaknesses, and as a result, he found that his weaknesses were as numerous as the holes in a fishing net, and even if he filled them, it would be futile.

  After several rounds of review, he gradually found some rules.

  The test questions are like the raw materials of nuclear fusion, which can only take effect under tremendous pressure. Therefore, when doing exercises, one should do them in a systematic way, set time limits, and simulate the actual test environment to achieve the best training effect. Moreover, except for individual geniuses, it is impossible for others to complete all questions within the specified time limit. The original intention of designing the questions is to test the candidate's ability to handle the relationship between "doing" and "omitting" when they cannot complete all questions. Therefore, to get a high score in administrative ability tests, one must not only answer quickly and accurately but also be good at distinguishing their unfamiliar or weak areas, like a brave warrior cutting off his arm.
