9,310 people competed for one position. In the end, 6,746 actually paid the fee. There was only one position. Just one. It was an Admissions and Employment Management position at Yunnan Communications Technician College in Anning, Kunming.
Registration for Yunnan Province’s second-half public institution joint recruitment closed in mid-September, and the written exam was over by October 17. The results still haven’t come out. Everyone’s waiting.
The same college, the same recruitment round: there were also one Teaching Management position and one Student Management position. More than 15,500 people paid the fees for all three positions combined. At a school that trains technicians, the administrative jobs were packed like this, while the teaching positions weren’t nearly as popular.
A lot of people think this proves how desirable a stable public-sector job is. I’ve been thinking about it for days. What people really want are those four characters: “any major.”
Once the entry requirements are removed, the filtering happens somewhere else. It used to be qualifications that filtered people out; now it’s only scores and luck. When anyone can reach for the same opportunity, the road gets completely jammed. Not a gap to be seen. The job hasn’t gotten any better. The road has narrowed until only the widest one is left.
At a registration fee of 50 yuan, this one position brought in more than 337,000 yuan. At 100 yuan, that’s 674,600 yuan. Both figures have been posted online, but there’s no definitive answer, and I couldn’t find an official document either. Either way, the money is real. So are the exam rooms: at 30 people per room, that’s more than 200 rooms.
The money is nothing. What’s expensive is those six months. Really expensive.
On the morning of October 17, 6,746 people sat in exam rooms and took the same test, staking everything on a chance of less than 1.5 in 10,000. They’d already taken countless practice tests on their own over the past few months. All those months of memorizing general knowledge, drilling questions, turning down interviews—it was all riding on this.
So is this really competition? At least in a competition, both sides have some choices. Here, there’s only one position. Everyone else might as well have been out from the moment they paid. They just had to wait for the scores to be announced to find out.
The really bleak part is over in Yuxi. In the same round of recruitment, the health system offered 60 positions. In the end, only 26 people paid the fee for the psychiatrist position, and just five for the pediatrician position. The application form was so quiet you could hear an echo. The requirements were right there, and only a handful of people could meet them. Really bleak.
Positions with requirements get no applicants; positions without requirements are mobbed. Those four characters, “any major,” just shift the barrier from qualifications to luck. And luck couldn’t care less how many all-nighters you’ve pulled.
I’ve also looked at new token launches on Binance. A new coin gets released, and thousands or tens of thousands of addresses compete for an allocation. The odds of getting one are tiny, way out past the decimal point. Tens of thousands of people are left with nothing. The people competing against you are people too, and the rules are just as ruthless. Whether you get an allocation has nothing to do with how many all-nighters you’ve pulled.
The difference is whether you can check the rules. The on-chain addresses, allocations, and random-number seed can all be looked up and checked afterward. The rules for public-sector recruitment are written in the announcement. You can only trust the process.
The name of the person who gets hired will appear in the announcement. As for where the other 6,745 people fell short, probably no one will ever know.
