Does paying social security still count as a fresher

Social security record is a key factor when determining whether or not to count as a fresher. A student who holds a social security record while in school is usually recognized as a fresher. However, if a student has signed a labor contract with a company during the semester and the company pays the social security on his or her behalf, such a case is not strictly speaking a fresher. For students who intend to enter the civil service, it is important to note that many civil service positions explicitly require that only freshmen be recruited, so social security payments may be an obstacle to applying for a job. If your goal is to participate in school recruiting, having an existing social security record usually means that you have graduated, which will limit your ability to participate in most companies' campus recruiting campaigns. Therefore, for the definition of freshman status, social security payment history can directly impact your job search options.
