Ask AI · Why does Beijing Normal University’s fire safety management position favor fresh graduate master’s backgrounds?

Recently, a recruitment ad from the Beijing Normal University’s Security Office has drawn attention: the fire safety management post is hiring 1 person, with a funded government establishment, to handle campus fire safety and related work. Requirements include being from within Beijing and being a fresh master’s graduate, among others. Many netizens have said whether this role is for a firefighter, and whether it requires going to put out fires, and so on.

On March 20, the BNU official website published a recruitment notice, hiring personnel for a public-institution establishment management post for fresh graduates. A total of 2 people are being recruited, and one of them is for this position. The recruitment process includes a written exam, an interview, a political background review, and other steps. On March 25, the school’s Security Office account posted a recruitment advertisement for this position on a social platform, sparking heated discussion among netizens.

On March 28, a staff member from the school’s talent and personnel office told a reporter from the Xiaoxiang Morning News, “‘The duties of the “fire safety management post” are described in detail in the job announcement. It should not be hiring professional firefighters, but rather to do fire safety management work.’ For specific circumstances, you need to consult the Security Office.”

After that, the reporter called the school’s Security Office, but the line didn’t go through. According to Modern Express, a staff member from the school’s Security Office said the position is not what some netizens believe it to be—that of a security guard. The reporter noticed that the school’s Security Office account on the social platform also replied to netizens: “‘Not a six-sided security guard battle warrior—feel free to submit your résumé.’”
