This is employment unbalance, few job opportunities vs flood of graduates, and its a result of the systematic failure that is plaguing the whole country every since the reform, simply put – politics has not been reformed when it should with economy.

Probably, Chinese need to adopt more unconventional means of job seeking. Like direct visits to companies, creative ways to get employers attention etc… Going to job fairs around the world immediately puts you at odds with the other X thousand mob. If you want a job in China, you’ve got to take matters into your own hands.

[...] We cannot help but wonder where this ‘job warfare’ will lead to. In the face of such cruel competition, how are these young and capable people, who have been studying hard and hoping for a brighter future, going to find a job that is financially and mentally satisfactory, let alone rewarding?

It seems that whatever is to be done in order to alleviate the situation has to start with social norms that value humanity and give decency to job seekers. [...]

One alternative, as Frank pointed out, is getting a job in Denmark. Frank’s comment makes us question the geographical accuracy of Shakespeare’s great words “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” :-)

Learn English, go to Denmark, get a job. We’re hopelessly short of educated people over here, so you might consider going global.

That’s just my two cents, anyway.

总的来说确实比较难找，尤其是一些名气一般的学校~ 说实在的，这些学生其实应该定位在技校，中专之类的；盲目的扩招使得原来本不该成为“大i学生”的人成了“大学生”，所以，这些“大学生”找不到工作也很正常~

在中国，真正能称得上“大学生”的也就是从几十所名校毕业的学生，这些学生工作一般都很好找，特别一些好的专业找工作非常容易~

最后，祝福广大毕业生今年能找个好工作~
