Beijing to Hold Special Recruitment Event for Female Grads
A special recruitment event for female university students will be held in Beijing from March 7th to 9th. No male-relevant content will be presented in the recruitment information. This event is all about women.
During the second session of the 14th Beijing Municipal People’s Congress held in January this year, Tan Lin, member of the Secretariat of the All-China Women’s Federation (ACWF) and delegate of the Beijing Municipal People’s Congress, said that 51.4% of Chinese university students are female and nearly half of all masters and PhD students are female. However, female students face a far more difficult job-searching environment than men. “A lot of employers do not even look at female applicants’ resumes but simply tell them the position has been filled,” according to a survey conducted by ACWF.
This is the primary reason why the Beijing Student Career Center and the Beijing Women’s Federation have decided to hold this special event specifically for female students only. Gender discrimination in the workplace is a serious issue and should be addressed with effective and pragmatic methods.
