Every year millions of candidates attend the National Civil Servant Exam, some of whom even regard it as their lifelong career in the hope of passing the exam and becoming a civil servant. The most sought-after position may attract nearly 10,000 applicants. The craze for the National Civil Servant Exam has been fiercely debated in recent years. Should university graduates zealously pursue government posts? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES It is undeniable that the post of civil servant is an appealing job, for government posts are relatively stable, with fine income and welfare. If one becomes a civil servant, many troublesome problems, such as accommodation and medical care, can be solved with some favorable policies. Also, the workload is modest when compared with other jobs. So being a civil servant is attractive for many university students. The expansion of college enrollment and the fierce competition among university graduates have led to the increasing pressure of job-hunting. For many students who are not quite certain about what they want to do in the future, taking the National Civil Servant Exam is a good try. The whole process is the same as applying for jobs in private sectors. Through the exam, university graduates can make good preparations for the future career, and sometimes the result is not so important. NO The craze of university students attending the National Civil Servant Exam is, to a large extent, ignited by the advantages of government posts. But actually, the government post today is not as favorable as it used to be. Being a civil servant is stable, but lacks creativity and freshness. Its salary is on the average level, and is no match for that in some private sectors. University graduates, at their 20s, should exert themselves to strive for a bright future. It is not a good choice to blindly follow the crowd to pursue government posts. It is wrong that some university students equate being a civil servant with success. In order to get a government post, students sometimes have to choose jobs that are not related to their majors at all. It is not worth getting such a post at the cost of one's specialty and professional knowledge.
