Record number of hopefuls sit annual civil service exam (5)

Zhu Yanran, 22, is a student at the Shanghai-based Tongji University and will graduate next year. Zhu took the civil service exam on Sunday.

Majoring in journalism, Zhu said she also wants to seek further education in the United Kingdom. "But I don't want to miss any opportunity to become a civil servant if I were qualified," she said.

Zhu applied for a publicity officer position at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Li Yongxin from Zhonggong Education said it's hard for recruiters to examine the authenticity of information at the application phase because of the sheer number of applicants.

"Usually applicants can pass the qualification examination if their information accords with the position requirements," he said. "Each applicant's information will not be seriously examined until they pass the exam and enter the interview phase."
