Chinese Firm Company Seeks Good-Looking Foreign Woman To Make Tea
If you\'re a good-looking woman with a college degree, fluent English and an interest in arranging clothes or preparing tea and fruit salad for a Chinese machinery tycoon, Sany Heavy Industry has just the job for you.
Usually, discriminatory recruitment based on the age, gender or ethnic origin are prohibited by the law. But in reality, they are commonplace in the employment sector.
If you're a good-looking woman with a college degree, fluent English and an interest in arranging clothes or preparing tea and fruit salad for a Chinese machinery tycoon, Sany Heavy Industry has just the job for you.
A recruitment ad posted under the Chinese company's name has drawn ridicule online, prompting a debate over what critics say is widespread employment discrimination in the world's most-populous country. Sany Heavy's high profile appears to have contributed to the outcry over the ad.
With its tall yellow cranes and its crawler-mounted excavators, China's Sany Heavy Industry Co Ltd is one of the largest equipment manufacturers in the world, with plants in Brazil, Germany, Indonesia and the US
Its chairman, Liang Wengen, accompanied Chinese President Xi Jinping on a state visit to the UK last year. And with the company's global footprint expanding, a posting on several online job sites in recent weeks suggests the man at the helm is looking to polish his English - with a cheerful and attractive woman.
A recruitment ad posted on Laowaicareer.com, a website catering to foreign nationals hunting for jobs in China, stated that Sany will provide a monthly salary of 11,000 to 15,000 yuan (S$2,300 to S$3,140), single-room accommodation, meals and potential bonuses to a foreign female college graduate with "good appearance and temperament" to be "the assistant to board chairman."
The candidate would be expected to go "on business trip with leader," "print documents and arrange schedule for the leader," and "prepare fruit salad and make tea for the leader."
