Chairman of the city’s People’s Committee, Nguyen Thanh Phong,officially announced that the criterion requiring household registration in thecity for civil service applicants has been abolished.
Le Hoai Trung, deputy director of the city’s HomeAffairs said the move was expected to ensure fairness for all applicants,the Tuoi tre (Youth) online newspaper reported.
At present, almost all local State agencies only recruitcandidates with household registration in the city. Trung said the city isin need of 500 civil servants this year.
He added that the Ministry of Home Affairs requires successfulapplicants to be qualified in both written tests and interviews, instead ofonly written tests as before. Thus, the city will apply the model to recruitcivil servants this year, he said.
Huynh Thuc Phuong, a third-year student of the Foreign TradeUniversity in HCM City, said the move was appreciated. “No one can choose whereto be born, and using the criterion of household registration for employmentcreates a disadvantage for applicants living in other localities who want towork for State agencies in this city,” she said.
Do Thi Ngoc Linh, a fourth-year student of HCM City University ofPhysical Education and Sports, said the decision opens up opportunities formigrants like her to get a Government job.
Nguyen Quang Hieu, a fourth-year student of the Vietnam NationalUniversity in HCM City, said removing the residence criterion means localstudents will have to compete more fiercely to get a Government job.
