Local employers head for Beijing
20/11/2003 16:16
The Shanghai Human Resources Service Center kicked off its first job fair
at the Tsinghua University in Beijing yesterday afternoon, one day ahead of the
timetable issued by the Ministry of Education allowing employers to recruit
university graduates since November 20 every year, the Youth Post reported
today.
The job fair, providing more than 500 job positions in over 20
companies in Shanghai and running for only four hours from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
yesterday, has attracted more than 1,000 students from 20-plus universities in
Beijing, such as the Beijing University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University
of China and Beijing Broadcasting Institute.
"There are too many
job-hunters, and I am sweaty by only wearing a shirt in such a cold day in
Beijing," said a job recruiter at the fair, adding that it is impossible for
them to wrap up the recruitment at 8 p.m.
"We have held job fairs in Beijing
for five consecutive years, and such fairs are hailed by local employers," said
a spokesman with the Shanghai Human Resources Service Center. "Besides more than
20 local companies attending the fair, tens of others entrust us with recruiting
talents for them, mainly from biomedical, IT, chemical engineering foreign trade
and mechanical manufacturing industries, " the spokesman added.
Jobs in IT
industry have gained much popularity at the fair, with many applying for jobs at
the China Telecom's Shanghai branch.
Shanghai is the most favorable place for
them to work in, and the 2010 World Expo in the city will need many
highly-qualified personnel," according to many university graduates at the
fair.
Preferential human resources policies offered to the personnel working
in Shanghai are cited as the main reason for the growing number of job-hunters
in the city, an industry analyst pointed out.
