As a national editing teacher who has been on the job for six years, I have experienced two exams and successfully landed twice.

As a normal student, I was quite repelled by being a teacher. At that time, I felt that I did not want to do this kind of job with an end in sight, nor did I want a life with an end in sight.

So in my senior year, while my classmates were working hard to prepare for the exams, I was still busy chasing stars with a group of junior students, working part-time jobs here and there just to earn some change to buy peripherals. Not interested in studying.

It wasn’t until I was pregnant that I realized that in the small 18th-tier county where I live, only by becoming a teacher can I protect myself and still have time to take care of my children.

The first time I took the exam, I suffered from morning sickness to death

I got engaged successfully when I was 26 years old. Before that, I worked as a temporary staff in the government reception office. I have been working for two years. In the past two years, I have suffered from the pain of not being able to get to and from get off work on time in this job. Even during the Chinese New Year, I had to be on call at my job at any time. This job solidified my idea that I must take the exam as a teacher.

In March of that year, the teacher announcement was released, and there was still one month left before the written examination, so I asked my director for a full month's leave. The director heard that I wanted to take the exam for editing, and he was very happy. Agree, let me go home and prepare for the exam.

On the first day after returning home, I immediately bought the comprehensive teaching major and related test papers that I wanted to read. During the few days of waiting for the book, I made a strict reading plan.

Set an alarm for 7:30 every day, and sit down to read on time at 8:00. Take a one-hour lunch break, half an hour for meals, set aside an hour for a walk in the evening, and then sit at your desk all day long, excluding sleeping time.

The day you get the information book, the study plan you formulated begins to be implemented. During this period, my mobile phone was turned off and no one could contact me. I seemed to be isolated from the world. I was immersed in the atmosphere of memorizing, reading and answering questions every day. At night, I dreamed that I was memorizing comprehensive knowledge points.

In this way, day after day, I strictly followed the study plan I made, until the day of the exam, I felt that my life had regained its color. At that time, I still felt a little confident, but now I must have done well in the exam.

But when I checked the results, I saw that my score of 136 points was like the end of the world. Then I asked my classmates who took the exam together and all scored more than 140 points. This made me completely lose confidence.

On the day the rankings were announced, I didn’t watch it. When my colleague exclaimed that I was ranked second, I couldn’t believe my ears. I walked over and took a look, and it was true. There were two openings for this position, ranking second. I was so happy, but even as I was happy, I started to worry because I was already two months pregnant and my morning sickness was extremely severe.

When I found the interview training teacher, my morning sickness was out of control. I would vomit whatever I ate, bile if I had nothing to vomit, and my throat would bleed from vomiting. But I still don't want to give up this great opportunity.

During the interview, I endured morning sickness every day and took the bus 40 kilometers back and forth to participate in the interview training. When I was not training, I wrote lesson plans and lecture notes at home day and night, holding my husband and treating him as a student. Practice proficiency and control your expression in front of the mirror. I often said two sentences and vomited them once, repeating the cycle over and over again, and never tired of it. Fortunately, my hard work paid off, and I finally counterattacked with an interview score of 91 and successfully landed in the first place.

The second time the competition for editing is more intense

If it is said that there is a job selection for the first time. There is no luck at all, so there is no luck at all this second time ashore.

Although it was my first time to take the exam, the position I applied for was nearly 50 kilometers away from my home. It took nearly an hour and twenty minutes to drive there, passing through 29 traffic lights and two sections of national highways.

For me, distance is not a problem. The problem is that I am too far away from home and I have no time to take care of my daughter when she gets older. During the five-year service period, I thought of many ways, but because the work unit and my home were across the district, it was very difficult to be transferred. In addition, the local transfer often refused to get the seal because there were not enough teachers, so I had no choice but to come up with another idea. The idea of ??re-taking the national compilation exam in the fifth year.

But the exam situation at this time is no longer as easy as it was five years ago. In recent years, with the improvement of the status of teachers and the impact of the epidemic shutdown, a large number of young people working outside the country have chosen to go home to take exams. This eventually evolved into a group where most candidates study full-time at training institutions to prepare for exams, and their scores are getting higher year by year. Scary high.

Even so, what can be done. If you want to get closer to home, you have to start over. If you have no other choice, just go for it.

In September of the fourth year of service, I started reading again. Because I have to go to school on weekdays, take care of my daughter on weekends, and commute for nearly three hours every day, there is very little time left for me to calm down and read a book, but I will also take out the book and read it when I have free time. .

During the preparation period, when I was at work, I would memorize the knowledge points one by one during my free time in class. When I was raising my daughter, I would make small notes of knowledge points and put them in my pocket. I would take it out and carry it on my back from time to time when others were playing; when my daughter went to bed, I would get up again and read for a few hours. Just persevere every day, no matter how tired the body and mind are, there is no break for a day.

However, due to lack of consistent review, I only got a score of 146.5 points, ranking eleventh in the position, and a total of ten recruits. But for someone like me who is preparing for exams while working and taking care of children, I am already very satisfied with this result.

Before I could be happy, a basin of cold water was poured on me, and a total of 25 people were shortlisted. After asking around, I found out that the twelfth place was only one point short of me, and the last place was ten points short of me. This means that, excluding the top ten finalists, the remaining fifteen, including me, are likely to make a comeback and succeed in their counterattack. The pressure at this time is all focused on the interview.

After the results came out, I immediately called my previous training teacher. When the teacher heard that it was me, he happily agreed to take me for the second time. I felt like I had received a reassurance.

When I went to participate in the training again with great joy, I could no longer calm down. Because I found that the number of training sessions was too small. In the entire training, there were only about ten class times. In addition to going to work and taking care of the baby, plus the full-time preparation for exams by competitors, the pressure was so great that I couldn't sleep well every day.

In the end, I could only treat class as an interview. The children below were all interviewers. After class, I would drag my colleagues to practice. When I got home, I would study the teaching materials every day and recite the Chinese elements and contents.

It’s like this every day and every night. Repeatedly record videos to review yourself and give comments to the teacher. Finally, the interview score was 93.323, rising to ninth place and successfully squeezing out the tenth place. It is worth mentioning that the interview scores of these 25 people were all above 90 points. The difference between the first place and the 25th place was only a few points. Therefore, among the 15 people in Dawei, I was the only one who successfully counterattacked.

Looking back on these two editing exams, I thought about giving up countless times, suffered from insomnia and collapsed countless times, and doubted the meaning of my editing exam countless times. But when I successfully blend into the system, I will find that this is the result I want. Yes, I am 31 years old, and I have successfully competed with that group of young people who are in the limelight.

So don’t be afraid of difficulties on the way to the exam. There are always more methods than difficulties. Just calm down, concentrate on one thing, and move towards a goal, and you can get the results you want.
