2016年國考報(bào)名已經(jīng)過半，截至昨日17時(shí)，通過審核人數(shù)達(dá)46萬余人，較前日的報(bào)名人數(shù)多出了13萬余，迎來報(bào)名小高峰。其中，中央職位報(bào)考率已達(dá)98%，僅有2%的職位零報(bào)名。而縣(區(qū))級(jí)及以下職位有6%零報(bào)名，為目前零報(bào)名最多的層級(jí)。

請看相關(guān)報(bào)道：

The number of candidates for the 2016 national civil service exam has surpassed last year's numbers, with more than 132,000 applicants on Tuesday－the most in a single day－deemed qualified for the exam.
2016年國考報(bào)名人數(shù)已超過去年，20日的通過審核人數(shù)超過13.2萬人，創(chuàng)單日新高。

The most sought-after job as of Tuesday remained a position offered by the China Employment Training Technical Instruction Center in Beijing, which had drawn 1,430 applicants.
截止20日，最熱門職位來自中國就業(yè)培訓(xùn)技術(shù)指導(dǎo)中心的一個(gè)崗位，吸引了1430位報(bào)名者。

However, another 876 jobs being offered have not registered a single applicant as of Tuesday.
同時(shí)，尚有876個(gè)職位無人報(bào)名。

又是一年國考（national civil service exam）時(shí)，雖然近兩年屢屢有報(bào)道說國考在降溫（losing its appeal），但是不少中央職位（jobs offered by central government departments and subsidiaries）仍然倍受青睞。最熱門職位（the most sought-after job）的競爭比例依然超過1000:1，而冷門職位（the least sought-after job）則無人問津，這一類職位多數(shù)是縣(區(qū))級(jí)及以下職位（jobs at or below the county or district level）。

國考的筆試階段分為行政能力測試（administrative professional ability test）和申論（argumentative essay writing）兩部分。通過筆試者，才有資格參加之后的面試。
