Graduates Seek Jobs via NetMore than 500,000 job hunters from universities across the nation visited an online job fair Sunday, the first of its kind in China.The Ministry of Education said that over 300 government organizations, institutions and companies nationwide "attended" the e-fair offering more than 30,000 positions. An official from the ministry said the initiative used modern technology to provide an effective communication channel between job hunters and employers. "Thanks to the fast development of the Internet, graduates this year can visit the virtual fair and maybe some of them can land a satisfactory job today without wasting time," Qu Zhengyuan, director of the Department for College Student Affairs under the ministry, said at the opening ceremony yesterday. Job hunters and employers can load their details onto www.chinadaxuesheng.edu.cn or www.grdanet.edu.cn and conduct interactive interviews, Zhang said. "If those job hunters and human resources departments are satisfied with each other after online communication, then can complete a labour contract at an agreed time," he said. The ministry has informed university graduates about the cyber fair and widely publicized it as a new employment service. "The fair is a little bit late for us, because you know, 70 per cent of job hunters in my school have already found jobs," said Yang Yan, a graduate student who majors in French at the Institute of Foreign Affairs. Yang added she will begin to work at a government organization in August. |
