It’s okay. Is there any chance of becoming a government official?

This isn’t something you should consider yet; if it matters, then go and use your connections； It’s okay; just keep trying. Success? Failure? I’m too lazy to bother with it

Hehe, having connections is only useful for interviews; to pass the essays and administration exams, one has to rely on their own efforts. You haven’t taken the exam yet; you’re thinking too much. If you don’t give it a try, it’s hard to say what the outcome will be. Not every civil servant gets hired through connections

Believe in yourself! If you haven’t taken the exam yet, thinking about useless things will affect your preparation; if you can’t prepare well, you definitely won’t pass the exam. Stay confident; wish you success!

It’s okay; you don’t need a door either, unless you’re truly outstanding

Believe in yourself; more effort leads to more rewards

It’s okay; we can only rely on hard work!

OP, the concept of civil servants is quite broad; some positions are not as difficult to get into or as grim as people think. But those positions are essentially those in ‘remote offices’ where there are no special perks, and the work and life there are quite monotonous. One might end up spending their entire life with just a newspaper and a cup of tea every day. If such offices are located in economically underdeveloped areas, civil servants’ salaries and benefits are generally lower compared to those in other regions. And since it’s a remote office, connections really don’t play any role there. If it’s a place with high profits and a developed economy, then one needs to have certain skills to succeed there. Taking the civil service exam can be a goal, but don’t place too many hopes on it. Furthermore, affected by the economic crisis, in the past two years some places that are undoubtedly slow to see activity have become overcrowded, which is contrary to the norm.

It’s okay even if you don’t get in; keep it up!

After working for a few years, can non-new graduates take the civil service exam?

You need to be really excellent; otherwise, it’s hard to say.

Why is becoming a civil servant now something that everyone (or rather, the vast majority of people) aspires to? In fact, in any industry, it’s possible to achieve success as long as one works hard; it depends on one’s own choices and interests, so don’t just follow the trends blindly

Yes, if you score high in the exam, it will be difficult even if you want to keep trying

It’s possible to take the exam; this is exactly my situation

It depends on the position you are applying for; there might be a chance, but it’s hard to say. If there are other opportunities, it’s better not to enter government service

This is quite difficult. If it’s a popular department in developed areas, that’s quite good, but often connections are required.
