1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 373 Taking the Exam
Upon hearing this, the parents who had accompanied their children to the exam immediately sprang into action and retreated.

Even those who had been deliberately blocking the entrance voluntarily moved outside.

Seeing that they could move in, the test takers who had been blocked outside finally followed the cleared passage inside.

The first snow was among them.

Then the person with the megaphone shouted again: "Please line up according to the job you applied for, and then line up to enter the designated examination area."

Chu Xue is tall and has good eyesight, so she didn't need to go to the front to see the notice posted on the wall. No wonder so many people came to take the exam today. It turns out that a new production line has been added, and not only do they need to transfer people from various workshops, but they also need to recruit a group of apprentices.

The jobs in the workshop do not require a high level of education; as long as you have graduated from primary school and can read, you are good to go.

Looking at the recruitment requirements for departments such as logistics, finance, factory office, and technical department, they are much higher, with high school graduation being the first hurdle.

For example, finance requires proficiency in using an abacus; the technical department goes without saying, the requirements alone are listed in two lines: familiarity with the steel rolling process, understanding the basic principles and operation methods of the equipment, not only mastery of basic knowledge of metal materials, but also certain drawing and blueprint reading skills, and the ability to understand mechanical drawings and process flow diagrams.
The factory office requires candidates to be fluent in a foreign language and have a certain level of writing skills. Being able to write and speak fluently is a basic requirement. The logistics department has the fewest requirements, and like other positions, it requires candidates to have good political and moral character, a high school diploma, good physical fitness, and certain communication and coordination skills.

Chu Xuezhan naturally plans to take the accounting exam, and secondly, the factory office exam. After all, she doesn't have the skills for the technical department, and she doesn't want to go for the logistics position.

She didn't know if the position she wanted had been reserved in advance, but thinking of Deputy Factory Director Gu, she didn't have so many concerns. As long as she could pass the exam, she believed there shouldn't be any major problems.

Just as she was getting back to her senses, there was a commotion ahead as everyone took turns filling out their job applications. When it was Chuxue's turn, she immediately filled out applications for both accountant and factory office positions.

She only needs to take the written test once, but afterwards she has to take the abacus test for the accounting position, as well as the foreign language and writing test from the factory office.

They were quickly led to the examination venue: "Everyone, find a place to sit down. The exam will officially begin in five minutes. The results of this exam will be released after 2 p.m. Those who are confident can continue to participate in other assessments. Those who are undecided or feel that they have not passed can wait until the results are released before deciding whether to participate in other assessments."

In other words, candidates must meet the requirements for both positions in the exams and other additional criteria to be hired.

Even if you do very well on the exam, you won't be hired if you don't pass the abacus and foreign language tests, except for those who are pre-selected.

After looking around, Chu Xue noticed that while there were quite a few applicants for the accounting and factory office positions, they were far fewer than those for the logistics and workshop positions.

I overheard a few people whispering nearby and learned that the notice had only mentioned the new workshop and technical positions, while the notices for logistics, accounting, and factory office were posted temporarily, which caught everyone off guard.

Chu Xue thought this was probably intentional. Most of the people who applied for these positions were probably like her, having received the news in advance. Only a small number of people who came today to apply for the workshop worker position changed their application to other positions.
