The author learned that the recruitment fair strictly implements the epidemic prevention and control policy. Candidates and staff of recruitment enterprises must first show the travel code and health code. Staff of enterprises outside the province need to provide nucleic acid test reports within 48 hours and enter the recruitment area after confirmation. Candidates receive the summary of recruitment information with their retirement certificate, submit their resumes according to their wishes, and the employing unit will employ them according to their talents according to their job needs. "I was a pilot when I served in the army. I hope to use my expertise to continue to engage in relevant work." Before the recruitment booth of an automobile company, retired soldier Yang Chao was consulting the post requirements. After knowing the situation, the staff instructed him to register his basic personal information in the employment intention register and promised to reply within 1 to 2 working days. "Retired soldiers have high comprehensive quality, strong professionalism, loyalty and reliability. Such talents are needed for enterprise development." It is understood that a total of 100 enterprises participated in the job fair, providing nearly 1000 jobs, covering administrative management, automobile manufacturing, catering services, engineering technology, logistics and distribution and other industries. According to incomplete statistics, in this job fair, 42 people initially reached employment intention with the recruitment enterprise, and 5 people signed contracts with the intended enterprise on site. The lively recruitment of ex servicemen also added a "fire" to the recruitment work in the first half of the year. As of February 10, the number of online applicants in the county had reached more than 1300, of which college students accounted for nearly 70%, a significant increase over the same period last year. Hu Junfeng, Minister of the people's Armed Forces Department of the county, told the author that they are full of confidence in completing the recruitment work in the first half of the year with high quality.

This has affected the quality of militia construction to a certain extent, and the proportion and incumbency rate of retired soldiers in the militia are not high. How to leave talents and inject vitality into militia construction? Fuquan military and local governments focus on supporting and recommending veterans to start businesses and find jobs on the spot. The military and local governments jointly select local enterprises with good development prospects and good economic benefits, and recommend retired soldiers and military dependents for employment through "targeted training and recruitment". Just after the Spring Festival, under the coordination of the army and the local government, a Chemical Co., Ltd. in Guizhou took out more than 400 employment places to recruit retired soldiers and military dependents. "The company was listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange in August 2017 and was rated as' 2021 Guizhou top 100 brands' and '2020 Guizhou top 100 manufacturing enterprises'." Zhang Qigang, director of Fuquan Veterans Affairs Bureau, introduced that coordinating the special recruitment of veterans and military dependents by listed companies is to make the employment of veterans more stable and ensure their development. Looking through the recruitment brochures, "five insurances and one fund", "interest free loan for individual house purchase", "canteen meal subsidy" and other welfare guarantees are available. "Put on the military uniform to defend the country, take off the military uniform and build your hometown." At the job fair, Wei duo, Minister of the people's Armed Forces Department of Fuquan City, said that in the next step, they will strengthen communication with local listed companies and leading enterprises, coordinate enterprises, and provide more employment opportunities and better welfare protection for veterans and military dependents. It is reported that the recruitment is conducted online and offline. On the day of the job fair, more than 200 people participated in the application on site, and more than 80 people passed the interview and reached employment intention on site.
