The reporter recently saw at the "Spring Breeze Action" job fair in Hubei that more than 100 companies offered nearly 50 types of work and about 10,000 jobs, and "Generation Z" became the protagonist at the job fair.
During the interview, the reporter found that many "post-00s" gradually abandoned the popular career-choice thinking of "more money, less work, and closer to home" when applying for jobs, and paid more attention to the working environment and development prospects.
Li Minghao, a "post-00" boy in Wuhan, used to work as an ordinary worker in a logistics company. Considering his career promotion plan, he wanted to "hop" to a technology company.
Li Minghao said that when it comes to "post-00s", many people will label them as "lying flat" and "not working overtime". "In fact, my peers around me are very hardworking and responsible for their work. In the spare time, I also actively learn new knowledge to 'recharge'."
