The difference between public institution and civil service examinations:

1. Differences in written examination content

The civil service written examination has a wider scope , the difficulty is too high. The written examination of public institutions is based on the civil service examination. Taking Beijing as an example, the number of questions in the examination is smaller than that of civil servants, and the examination content is simpler than that of civil servants. Candidates preparing for public institutions should supplement their professional knowledge, which is extremely beneficial for written interviews.

2. Differences in interview propositions and test situations

Civil servant interviews for different positions generally adopt roughly the same procedures and rules, which are basically orthodox structured and leaderless forms.

Recruitment by public institutions is mostly for professional talents, so they often focus on structured interviews or add professional interview questions, and some public institutions use semi-structured examinations. One word is "live", so candidates should respond flexibly, because this will make it easier to select suitable talents.

On the other hand, the interview topics for civil servants are wider and have certain representativeness and breadth. In comparison, the scope of interview topics for public institutions will be much smaller, and the questions will be biased towards the situation in the region, and will be more specific. There is a certain role positioning.

3. Different recruitment methods

Civil service examinations are generally divided into two types, one is the national civil service examination and the other is the provincial civil service examination. The recruitment units and examination times are different.
