A man had to undergo three months of training to get rid of his naturally feminine voice before he could land a decent job.

Wan Qiangsheng graduated with a master's degree from the Southwest Jiaotong University last year, but was unable to find a job.

In January, an interviewer told him that although his qualifications were in place, his girlish voice was the reason no one wanted to hire him.

Wan's voice has now cracked and he has secured a job.
