Kunming University opens online store to 'sell' graduates (3)

Kunming University has opened a store on taobao.com, China's largest business-to-consumer platform backed by e-commerce giant Alibaba, to promote this year's graduates. The university’s online store now provides information on 65 graduates from different majors, including details of their job expectations. Employers interested in the graduates can pay a 1,000 yuan deposit to begin further talks or interviews under the coordination of the university. The job market is tough this year, and only 52 percent of graduates from Kunming University have secured a job. The online store aims to introduce graduates to more employers, says Liu Juanjuan, the vice director of the President’s Office at Kunming University. (Photo: China News Service/Ren Dong)
