Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
China
receptionist job sees 10,000 applicants
While
there are many prospective job opportunities in booming industries such as IT
and real estate, many people flock to any stable job opportunities no matter
how overqualified they are. There were nearly 10,000 applicants for a public receptionist
job at China Democratic League.
Public
sector still seems to be the most-wanted by many in China. This year, as many
as 1.4 million job seekers took the civil service examination. Only 2% of them
could get a job that is regarded stable and respectable, called “Iron Rice
Bowl.”
In the
meantime, there are job openings that have not been filled for some time even
though they are suitable and challenging for college graduates, such as bank
regulatory and meteorological jobs. Why? Those openings are in autonomous
regions like Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang that are far away from China’s
central.
Enjoy reading
and thinking if there is and will be an iron rice bowl for the next 30 years.
