Civil servants are required to pass the civil service examination and the interview of the work unit before they are hired.

Of course, most of the future work places of officers are military units, while the future work places of civil servants are state or local government agencies, such as tax bureaus, water conservancy bureaus and so on. Officers belong to the army, while civil servants belong to local organs.
