Holy Roman Empire

On December 12, 1848, civil service examinations with a profound influence on Austria began to register, which marked a fundamental change in the way Austrian talents were selected.

Although this test is still an internal competition among nobles, competition is better than no competition.

The nobility fell here and they were given the opportunity to return to the rights center, and the Austrian government once again gained their support.

A series of posts including government agencies, state-owned enterprises, and teachers added up, providing nearly 130,000 posts to the society, and a total of more than 186,000 people applied for the exam.

If this competition rate is placed in later generations, it is estimated that many people will play together, but in this era, many people are still complaining of pressure.

In a tavern in Vienna, a teenager in his twenties complained: "Damn, Raul, you know what the Ministry of Finance is doing this time. Why do we all have to enter the second round for the exam?"

"Come on, Wiger. Everyone knows that we entered the second round without a test. I heard that the Ministry of Finance has already applied for more than eight thousand people, and the number of recruits is only 876, a ten-to-one pass rate.

To eliminate the vast majority of candidates, is there a faster way besides the exam?

If you are afraid of competition, you can go to the grassroots teachers, there are more places there, the number of applicants is less."Raul took a sip of wine and said with a smile

He is not afraid of exams. He was a top student when he was in school. Compared to his friend Wigger, he is confident enough to pass the exam.

Exam fraud?Think about it, and do n’t look at the people who can take the exam. When a bunch of nobles are in trouble, who can bear it.

If the relationship network is strong and it has long been mixed into the civil service, why come to compete here?

"Forget it, I don't want to spend time in the country, without bars or friends, that would kill me!" Wiger shook his head and said

Compared with the real power department, the number of teacher posts recruited by the Ministry of Education is much more tragic. Many people's faces changed one by one when they heard about going to the countryside to teach.

It plans to recruit 50,000 teachers, and as a result, fewer than 20,000 people have signed up.In order to recruit enough teachers, the Ministry of Education had to build schools around the town.

Anyway, the government will bear all the costs of compulsory education. It is also possible to centralize the management of the students.

In most areas, the government has raided a large number of real estate belonging to the party, and it can be used as a school building if it is transformed.

Even so, there are still not many people applying for the post of primary school teacher, and finally the Ministry of Education had to reduce the number of recruits.

Anyway, compulsory education cannot be spread all over the country at once. It takes time to gradually promote it. Teachers can be trained slowly if there are not enough teachers. The teacher training classes of the Ministry of Education have already recruited students.

"Then there can only be competition. You have to know that the most competitive Senate Secretary recruits only two people. There are actually more than 800 people registering, and the number of applicants is still growing.

God, the pass rate is not even 4%, but there are people who dare to go and have to admire their courage."Raul said in a very exaggerated tone

A man next to him interjected: "What's so strange, the Senate Secretary serves the cabinet government, wandering in front of a group of bigwigs every day, there is much more room for future rise.

Everyone wants to go to the sky in one step. In case of any chance of getting into the exam, you will earn a lot of money."

"In that way, I am a little bit tempted. Anyway, the examination time of each department is not the same. It's better to try it." Raul thought and said

...

This civil service exam is not conducted in a unified manner. The talents required by different departments are not the same, and Franz is not prepared to recruit a group of talents.

Therefore, the recruitment conditions for everyone are different. Some departments are fiercely competitive, and are engaged in written and interviews. Some departments have too few applicants and do not have critical qualifications, as long as they meet the basic conditions.

Since this is the first test, no one knows what will be taken. As long as the candidates are in a hurry, they have no direction to temporarily attack.

It ’s not just that they do n’t know that even the government ministries and commissions that preside over this exam are a little bit overwhelmed. Everyone has no experience and has to learn from foreign talent selection systems.

This year, the most popular in Europe is still the gift system, Austria is considered to be at the forefront of the world, and took the lead in breaking this system.

The closest thing to the Austrian civil service examination is the imperial examination system. If the time is not too tight, the cabinet is ready to send people to inspect it.

Finally, Franz personally helped out. Although he did not preside over the civil servant examination, he had participated in many times in his previous life and had rich experience in being eliminated.

Schonbrunn Palace

Prime Minister Felix frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this civil service examination, we have provided a total of 128,939 positions, a total of 589,656 applicants, there is a serious situation that one person has applied for multiple departments at the same time, and there are nearly 35,000 No one is interested in positions, most of them are concentrated in the education sector.

Taking into account this situation, the government decided to cancel these unemployed candidates, at the same time banned one person from applying for multiple departments, and only recognized the earliest department."

The civil service examination in Austria is naturally impossible to subdivide like the Internet era, and it is accurate to each specific position.

At present, it is only the ministries and commissions that apply, and the final specific position is allocated according to the actual situation. Except for a few departments that only recruit a few people, the specific positions are clear, and the rest are unknown.

For example, if you apply for the tax department, you may stay in Vienna, you may go to Croatia, or you may become a tax inspector running across the country. The specific job placement will not be known until after the exam.

Hearing that there are so many posts that no one cares about, Franz could not help rubbing his forehead, just because he was afraid that no one from the remote area would apply for a job, he put all the recruiters into the ministry and waited for the final allocation.

Unexpectedly, even so, the number of people is not enough.At this time, he was wondering whether to select a part of the past from other departments to fill the hole.

After hesitating for a while, the plan was finally dismissed. The bite melon was not sweet.Such pitfalls will definitely cause resentment, and finally bring this resentment into work, affecting the purity of the government team.

"The positions for no one can be canceled. If there is no one, we will train ourselves. It is estimated that even if the exam passes, many people do not want to go to the backcountry.

Even if they do n’t want to go, we ca n’t be strong.Doesn't the army have demobilized soldiers? The noble children in these remote corners don't look down on them. Will the soldiers always look down on them?

Choose literate soldiers from it, train them, and act as grassroots civil servants in remote areas.

For the case of one person applying for multiple positions, even this time, we have not made any regulations in advance. Their approach is legal, so it is time to learn a lesson.

However, after one ministry has passed the exam, they cannot continue to take the next ministry exam, and the registration fee will not be refunded."

Franz did not mention the issue of officers who changed professions. In this era, the officers of the Austrian army were basically nobles. Even if he did not have the title of nobility, their parents, grandparents and uncles would always be nobles.

As noble children, their treatment is different.The ranks in the army before retiring will have the same treatment after the change of jobs.

In other words, they are officers in the army, and they are also officers after changing jobs.If the ability is not good enough, then you can only downgrade, but the salary will not be reduced.

Of course, this is limited to those with military merit.If an officer without military merit is transferred, there will be no such good treatment.

The cultivation of talents selected by soldiers proposed by Franz is also limited to those who have merit, and the big-head soldiers who do not have military merit are naturally not within the scope of training.

Franz is very understanding of the candidates who repeat the application, he also experienced that year, everyone wants one more opportunity, one more choice.Only this way, it will increase the workload for the admissions department.

Franz still has the morality. Since the government did not make it clear in advance, it cannot shirk its responsibility. If the workload is increased, the workload will be increased. The pits dug by themselves will be filled by themselves.

...

The government abolished more than 35,000 jobs all at once, and the ratio of opening examinations finally climbed to 2: 1, which meant that the competition was cruel.

Various recruiting units are still troubled by the question, and European public opinion has been boiling.

The mainstream media have expressed their opinions one after another, with support and opposition. In short, the Austrian civil service examination has become the focus of European society.

Engels published an article in the Rhine newspaper, fully affirming the Austrian government's civil service examination system.

The reason is very simple. After the restrictions announced by the Austrian government exclude the bourgeoisie, they do not restrict the working class and the peasant class.

In theory, as long as their academic qualifications are reached, they can enter the government system through selection.

Coupled with the compulsory education proposed by the Austrian government some time ago, many people think that the Austrian government is actively reforming and is ready to absorb the working class into the government.

Well, Franz will not explain this beautiful misunderstanding. It is always a good thing to have a bunch of supporters.

As an emperor, what he needs is a group of people who are loyal to the pass line, to help him manage this country, and the origin of these people is not important.

It can only be said that in the face of different national conditions, different employment mechanisms are adopted.In Austria, we must rely on the nobility. If it is in Britain and France, then the bourgeoisie can also be the pillar of the state.

This is determined by the social environment. If in an emerging country there is no deep-rooted nobility and no strong bourgeoisie, then the working class and the peasant class can also become a national pillar.

If blindly reforming and deviating from the class supporting yourself, then Wang Mang is the best example.
