What types of jobs does China Post have?

There are three kinds of traditional postal services: mail, parcel and remittance, which are collectively called "letter package remittance". Newspaper distribution and stamp collecting are extended services developed later. Since 1990s, the business field has been greatly expanded. Express delivery, logistics, etiquette, advertising and mail order with postal characteristics have become new postal specialties. Based on this, a new professional company was established, named postal company 000. One change in recent years is the establishment of China Postal Savings Bank, and postal savings in many places are combined to handle foreign exchange business.

From the above business types, we can see the specific work content and jobs. Various job titles have changed greatly, with more salesmen and business managers. This is about new business.

However, it is the counter staff of each branch who have the most contact with the public, and they are collectively called salespersons. Because women are in the majority, even all female employees, it is often accurate to say "they". There used to be a saying in the postal industry that "women keep the front desk and men run to deliver it." Delivery work is very hard. In the past, there were many men. In the early years, the old "postmen" were basically male postmen (from Yixian to the Republic of China), and the number of women who worked as couriers increased greatly after the Cultural Revolution. This is related to gender equality and the improvement of women's quality and working conditions. Another reason is that the threshold of postal labor dispatch workers is relatively low, their wages are relatively low, and women's career choice orientation is not too ambitious.

There are many specific types of work subdivided. For example, delivery, there are mail couriers, newspaper couriers (all divided into mergers), couriers (express mail), sorters, statisticians and so on.
