As the saying goes, "it's better to be famous than you can," and this has been true in the past and is true today.

The age limit for civil servants is relatively relaxed, calculated by the deadline for application, undergraduate students are generally required to be under the age of 35, and graduate students can be relaxed to under the age of 40. Although the age requirements for candidates are not high, if you really wait until you are about 30 years old to take the civil service exam, then from exam preparation to recruitment to internship to regularization, and in the end you just become a small section member, your classmates are all directors of such and such a department, and your heart will be a little uncomfortable.

Here is a little knowledge first, you pass the national examination or the provincial examination on the civil servant, in fact, the chief clerk below the general civil servant (called the "clerk"), with a doctoral degree to be admitted to the possibility of the chief clerk, to the master's degree may be the deputy chief clerk, the vast majority of people are admitted to the clerk, the clerk is the lowest level of civil servants.

Since you are at the lowest level, you have to be promoted, and civil servants are generally promoted according to seniority, and you will not be judged by your age, unless you have outstanding ability. Suppose you are admitted to the civil service at the age of 30, but most of the people who come in at the same time as you are old, and those who are the same age as you have been working in the unit for many years, in the case of the same age and ability is not much different, if there is a chance for promotion, this group of people with work experience will have more advantages.

In addition, generally speaking, under very ideal circumstances, it will take about 13-15 years for a section member to take up the position of a major leading cadre, and the younger you enter the system, the younger you will enter the leadership position, and the more space and enthusiasm you can have to display your ambitions. There are even more brutal age restrictions underneath this.

For example, the age of the team is generally composed of cadres under 50 years old, under 40 years old, and under 30 years old, and the average age is not more than 45 years old; There should be a certain number of cadres around the age of 35, and so on.

It is not absolute to say that it is almost hopeless to be admitted to the civil service after the age of 30, but there are indeed some factors that put older candidates at a disadvantage in the public service.

First of all, the competition for public *** is very fierce, especially in some popular positions, where there are often hundreds or even thousands of people competing for a position. Due to the high level of competition, examiners often prefer younger candidates, as younger people are often stronger in terms of work ability and adaptability.

Secondly, the public has high requirements for the comprehensive quality of candidates, including knowledge reserves, thinking skills, organization and coordination skills, communication skills, etc. As people get older, they may face some challenges such as memory loss, rigid thinking, etc., which can affect test scores.

In addition, some civil service positions have explicit age requirements, such as some police positions may only recruit candidates under the age of 30. The restrictions on these positions can also make it impossible for older candidates to apply.

However, while age is a disadvantage among the male***, it is not the decisive factor. If older candidates can improve their overall quality through adequate preparation, and at the same time choose a position that suits them, it is still possible to successfully land ashore. Therefore, age is not an absolute barrier, and as long as you prepare hard, it is possible to achieve your dream of being a civil servant.
