Is there a height restriction in the chemical industry? ?

2009-03-19View Original

Thread Content

I majored in petrochemical engineering and graduated in 2010. I am about 1.62 meters tall. I wonder if there are any height restrictions in the chemical industry, especially in the petrochemical sector, as well as in Sinopec and CNOOC ? ? Please give me some advice so I can learn other things earlier; otherwise, graduating will mean being unemployed. Thank you!

So far, I haven’t seen any chemical company include height as a requirement in its job postings.

I haven’t heard of any height restrictions. It mainly depends on one’s own abilities.

No, I didn’t mention my height during the interviews at the petrochemical company last year; as long as you’re competent, they will definitely hire you

Unless it's the modeling industry, restricting height is illegal. :lol

It’s hard to say. To be honest, there are some things that aren’t mentioned outright but still have an impact; these fall under the category of factors related to luck

It’s the truth – the vast majority of chemical companies do not have such requirements. But I have encountered two fairly decent design firms that had this requirement. (Men must be at least 170 cm tall)

A height of around 1.62 meters is more than sufficient; it’s not short at all – in fact, it can even be considered average! There are no explicit height requirements in the chemical industry; of course, some positions may have such requirements, but unless you are exceptionally tall, it’s generally not a problem. In our company, there are people who are 1.4 meters tall.

There are few restrictions on height, so don’t worry; as long as you are excellent, your height is not that important.

I’ve never heard of any petrochemical company having a height restriction

I’ve never heard of any restrictions on height; there are requirements for security personnel.

1.62 meters is quite tall if you’re a woman! If it’s a man, companies generally don’t have strict requirements; of course, you need to perform well in other aspects as well – otherwise, they will choose someone else under the same conditions. http://www.baidu.com/s?kw=&sc=web&cl=3&tn=sitehao123&ct=0&rn=&lm=&ie=gb2312&rs2=&myselectvalue=&f=&pv=&z=&from=&word=%BA%A3%B4%A8%C2%DB%CC%B3

One company I interviewed with this year required 170, but as long as you showcase your strengths well during the interview, it should be fine

On the surface, it seems not, but the actual situation is unclear. I remember that before graduation, when some large state-owned enterprises came to the school to recruit employees, the HR staff in charge of receiving resumes refused to accept those of several students who were of shorter height, using various excuses to do so. Of course, it could be an extremely rare phenomenon.

1.62M. Are you a boy or a girl? Also, it seems that the chemical industry doesn’t care about height. I only care about your skills!

I don’t think so; I’ve only heard that industries such as the military and air stewardess work require a certain height requirement, but I haven’t heard of such rules in ordinary companies.

If you are a university like East China University of Science and Technology, going to such places is no problem. . Every year, companies like Sinopec, CNPC, and Jinling Petrochemical come to recruit staff, and basically they don’t ask you any questions at all. . . Will you just tell me if you’ll sign or not? And it’s the kind that affects a whole group at once. . . . . So the major in school is very important

Concentration is the essence! Moreover, people who are short can still enter the manholes of distillation towers. . . Others still can’t get in. . . . Isn’t that an advantage?

It seems that so far, there has been no mention of a height requirement. .
