She got the permanent position she had given up on

I told her there would be a career opportunity around April, with a permanent role at her current workplace. The position opened up that month, four years after the last vacancy.

Zongyuan, I’m here with an update. I signed up for a civil service exam at the end of December 2023 and didn’t get through — there was even a fee for study materials. You said I’d have a career opportunity around April this year, and that I could get a permanent position. And now! The public institution where I work as a contract staff is hiring for permanent roles. The position I’m eligible for has two openings. You also said my workplace wouldn’t change this year, but I might move to a different department. This opening is for another department.

猫猫道长，我来反馈一下，23 年 12 月底我报名的一个公务员考试没成功，为此有一笔耗材，然后你说我今年 4 月左右事业有机会，并且我可以有正规编制。然后！！！我现在合同工的这家事业单位招编制人员了，我可以报的那个岗位招两个！而且你说过我今年工作单位不变，但可能变部门，这个就是另外一个部门的名额[emoji][emoji][emoji]

Congratulations.

This permanent position hasn’t been open for four years.

这个编制已经四年没放出来了

I’d already given up. Also, I turned 30 this year, and the application cutoff is 30 (inclusive).

我都已经放弃了，而且我今年 30 周岁，报名条件 30 周岁（含）

If I’d been born a month and a half later, I wouldn’t have been eligible to apply.

晚出生一个半月我就报不了了[emoji]

That exam I took before Lunar New Year even gave me some test experience. Everything really lines up so neatly.

年前那次考试还积累了一点考试经验，一切真的太巧了

Zongyuan~ My file has been successfully submitted! The permanent position exam is this Saturday, for a different department. Also, because this department has an urgent task right now, my supervisor specifically asked to transfer me there early. Whether I get the permanent position or not, I’m already switching departments. That was so accurate.

猫猫道长～我的档案顺利入库了！[emoji]然后本周六编制考试，是另外一个部门，而且啊我现在因为这个部门有急任务，领导点名把我先调过去了，无论是否考上编制我都是换了一个部门，很准

4月8日晚上20:57

Zongyuan, I finished my interview for the permanent position, but I only got 78.66 on the interview. I feel like I might not make it this time. They’re only hiring two people for this role. Can you check if I still have a chance?

猫猫道长，我事业编制面试完了，但我面试只打了78.66，我感觉我这次悬了，我们这个岗位只招两个人，能帮我看看还有机会吗

I don’t know when the public notice will be yet.

公示时间还不知道

But since it’s my own workplace, I might find out tomorrow.

但因为是我本单位，可能明天就能知道
