At the Changsha Talent Market, reporters saw quite a few couples holding hands or hugging waists while "strolling" through the job fair. There were also couples dressed in matching outfits looking for jobs together. However, many employers expressed that these "couple teams," whether accompanying their partners to look for jobs or wanting to work at the same company, are generally not favored by employers.

Boyfriend Provides Full Service While Girlfriend Looks for Job

"My academic performance is better than hers, so I'm here to give her some advice." Long Pengcheng from Hunan City University pointed to his girlfriend next to him and said that today he mainly came to accompany her in her job search and provide her with references.

At the job fair site, some boys have become mere followers of the girls, helping carry bags, hold resumes, hand over water, and check information on the side. Some boys, seeing too many people ahead, immediately move forward to push through the crowd. Others hug their girlfriends tightly in "emergency" situations.

Most Companies Dislike "Couple Teams"

"In such cases, we would unanimously reject them," said Zhang Yin, director of the office of Changsha Jing'erxin Health Products Co., Ltd. Today, four or five couples applied for positions, but we would not hire such couples. Zhang Yin told reporters that in their company, hiring couples is highly taboo. Couples working in the same company can cause significant inconvenience to company management. When some couples want to resign or take leave, they tend to do so together. Additionally, conflicts may arise regarding job positions.

Some employers suggest that couples who wish to join the same company should set aside emotional baggage during the job search process and consider what kind of work suits them rather than using "romance" as a stepping stone into the enterprise.

Some couples walk hand-in-hand up to the interview units, pushing and pulling each other, hugging and cuddling, making intimate gestures in public settings which can significantly damage their image. Chen Fang from the Human Resources Department of Changsha Jing'erxin Health Products Company said that job hunting and dating are two different things, and one should not be too casual about it. Remember not to make overly intimate gestures during interviews.
