Job-Hunting Classes Benefit Few University Graduates: Survey

Only 13.3 percent university students in Shanghai feel they have benefit from job-hunting instruction classes, though 83 percent have taken such classes, according to a recently conducted sample survey.

Job-hunting instruction classes offered by universities have attracted intense attention from university students since they need to seek job by themselves, today's Shanghai-based "Wenhui Daily" reports.

About half students surveyed think that the classes helps them to reconsider job-seeking plans, and even master skills useful to applying jobs.

But quite a lot think that they benefit from job information rather than instruction from the classes.

The survey reveals that students wish to get interview instruction, information about employers, vocation analysis, job- market prediction and analysis, and psychological instruction.

About 86 percent students think it necessary for the universities to offer psychological instruction for them. And 66 percent students ask for simulative interview, says the paper.
