BEIJING, Oct. 12 -- The Chinese central government will start its annual recruitment of new staff in mid October, offering about 15,000 positions, said the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security here Monday. About 130 departments of the central government and affiliated institutions will recruit new staff, said a statement issued by the ministry. The ministry will start taking in applications from Oct. 15 to 24 and an examination will be held on Nov. 29 at the capitals of provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities and several big cities, the statement said. The departments prefer people with grassroots working experience, it said. "About 70 percent of the positions will be taken by people with at least two years of working experience at the grassroots level." A quota will be provided for young people who finish their service in the government programs of working at remote and less developed regions and villages after college graduation, it said. But the statement did not release how much it will be. "We hope high quality talents with adequate grassroots experience will work for the central government," said a ministry official in charge of the recruitment. The application will be done on Internet. |
