W: Excuse me, sir. Is this the human resources department?
M: Yes, that’s right. Is there anything I can do for you?
W: Yeah, I’m a TV reporter, and I’m doing a serial interview on the job market in China. Could you do me a favor, please?
M: My pleasure. What would you like to know first?
W: I know you have a very large staff of over one thousand. How do you appoint them to the right posts, and transfer them, if necessary, at the right time?
M: That’s a good question. Ah, let me see. We give tests and on-the-job trials in different ways, so we know whichever job best suits a certain person.
W: My second question is that today there are many people, especially the competent ones, who jump from job to job. How do you settle that?
M: We have tight regulations and long service awards for motivating employees. But, anyway, they make their own choices. If they choose to stay, they need to abide by our policies.
W: I’m sorry, I didn’t quite follow you. Do you mean that they are free to come and go?
M: Yes, you are quite right.
W: Another question is that since you’ve been a personnel manager for several years, what do you think is the bottleneck in the job market in China today? Why is it so hard for graduates to find a suitable job?
M: Well, let me see. Maybe it’s the lack of experience. They remain frustrated in a new workplace even after half a year.
W: Now I’ve got it. But may I ask you one more question, please?
M: Of course you can.
W: Suppose I were one of your job applicants, what would you advise me to do?
M: Learn what you are learning well and try to be proficient in at least one thing. That’s my tip for all job hunters.
W: Thank you very much.
