Ms Yeung said the private market is also hiring early, and the government needs to keep pace with the times

Ms Yeung said that as a result of the past career fairs, some non-fresh students expressed their desire to join the civil service, believing that accepting university students early can equip themselves early, and the government can also provide internship opportunities to reduce their adaptation period after joining the job, emphasizing that the relevant competency requirements will not be reduced.

She also pointed out that the private market also generally recruits students early, and the government needs to keep pace with the times and recruit the right talents, hoping to make better matching in time, but the authorities do not have a hard target for the number of recruits. She revealed that some disciplined forces are already interested in the plan.

I don't agree with the low degree of freedom of work Yang Ho Beiyin: Classmates enter the environment and depict something

Asked about the fact that the outside world thinks that civil servants have a low degree of freedom in work, she pointed out that the words and deeds of civil servants do need to be in line with their words and deeds, and if the government needs to do so, they must also attend work, but she believes that the number of emergency mobilizations is not much, and other types of work may not be able to leave work on time.

As for the admitted students stipulated by the authorities, they are required to graduate within the specified time. She explained that she wished to hire a civil servant of a certain standard, but if the student was unable to complete his or her studies on time due to unexpected events, she would deal with it at her discretion.
