Back in college, I remember my classmates talking about taking the CS exam. I don’t really know what it’s about so I just shrugged it off, I didn’t even bothered asking them what it was. Honestly speaking, I still don’t know what Civil Service exam is even until now. All I know is that, it is a ticket to having a career as a government employee – it’s that plain to me. I have been working for private companies since I graduated college, so working for the government doesn’t really appeal much to me. I just feel like I want to take the exam for leisure (chos!) or for future use, or to add some spice to my CV.
For the first timers out there, I want to help you out and give you a little help about the ways of applying for the Civil Service exam. Here's how to apply;
1.) Fill up application form (CS Form No. 100, Revised 2012)
2.) 4 copies identical passport size pictures like this one.
3.) Original and photocopy of any valid ID with your picture, birthday, signature and signature of the head of the issuing entity.
4.) Examination fee of P500.00.

Examination day came, I didn’t know that there were thousands who applied for it, I was really shocked to see the crowd, it’s like college days all over again. I haven’t been around school campus for so long and being in the middle of it all at present, brings back so many memories.
Not to scare people or anything, but I think the exam was gruesome. You sit with people you don’t know plus the passing score is 80%. When I saw the questions, my intuition was confirmed. I find it very hard, specially the Math part, I don’t know about you but I’m usually slow in math (haha!), and I’m not bragging, just saying. Right after the exam I thought to myself, “oh well, at least I tried, no hurt feelings”.
2 months later, I checked the result through the Civil Service Commission’s official website www.csc.gov.ph, and to my surprise my name is included in the passers list! Yahoo! I just felt so happy about it, although I feel for the people I know who took the exam and didn’t make it to the list. But I know there are plenty of chance to still pass the test, you just have to reapply for it, and maybe study a little (or a lot), and pray.
The next step is to claim your certificate of eligibility, which will be available in your local CSC office about 2-3 mos. after passing the exam. That eligibility is your voucher for your application to government jobs, or for those employed with government already, it will pave a way for a promotion. Congrats passers!
