JOB seekers in Shihudang Town now have access to instant employment information via QQ, an instant messaging service, The project was initiated by the local government to help migrant workers and recent school graduates.
"Within just five minutes, I got a list of job vacancies, which was a great help to me and probably to others anxious to find a job," said Xiao Yu, a local vocational school graduate who has been out of work for six months.
He registered at the Shihudang Town Civil Affairs Service Center in the morning and, by that afternoon, had a job interview with a local packaging company.
"Everything was surprisingly efficient," Xiao said.
The jobs platform is updated constantly with lists of jobs available in local companies and factories.
A job seeker is required only to register at the service center and submit a resume. The computer does the rest, matching applicants and employers.
Chen Haifeng, a migrant worker from Anhui Province who has had trouble getting work since he came to Shanghai a month ago because of severe burn scars, received two interviews from the employment program and two days later was working in a machine factory.
The platform has helped 170 job seekers find work, recommended 320 people for interviews, posted 650 employment notices and provided employment advice to 1,050 people.
