In plain words
“Join the army and get a job assigned” is long since not the general rule. Today the government arranges a job in only six situations, and most conscripts who serve two years and are discharged are not in those six. The group not assigned jobs by the government is called self-arranged employment (自主就业), and it has a hard deadline: you must report within 30 days after leaving active duty. If you go past 30 days without a proper reason, it counts as giving up the placement benefits.
