China will see its 2.8 million soon-to-be graduates going job-hunting either at job fairs or online this year, an increase of 680,000 over the same time last year, according to the Ministry of Personnel. The number of college graduates will hit 3.2 million in 2005.
Latest statistics show that there are still 700,000 college graduates in 2003 who have not yet landed a job. The country will have to offer more than 3 million new jobs to college graduates alone in 2004. College graduates have to face a tight job market.
Confronted with the tough pressure of job-seek-ing, college graduates rack their brains for a better future.
Expect a right employer
Nov. 20 is the first day granted by the Ministry of Education for employers to enter college cam-pus for recruiting graduates. More than 40 companies and institutions attached to China Aerospace & Technology Corp. (CASC) held the first job fair in Tsinghua University. Graduates from Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) and Beihang University (BUAA) as well as other colleges and universities of aerospace industry attended the fair.
Fan Yang, an electronic engineering major graduate from Tsinghua University said, “I prefer to work firstly as I believe my competitiveness, and after the four-year study in campus I’m willing to apply what I learned to practice. The only thing I expect is a suitable employer, who can offer a favorable atmosphere for work.”
Fan Yang, a 22-year-old young man, showed his confidence for seeking job. Students like Fan accepted that they have to step into society sooner or later, the earlier they touch society, the earlier they gain professional experience.
Most Chinese college students graduate in summer, but fearing the increasingly competitive labor market, many start their job-hunting half a year or even one year before their graduation.
Continue study at graduate schools
Zhu Xiaofeng, majoring in economics in North-west University in Xi’an, is a member of those who want to continue their studies at graduate schools. Zhu gets up at 6 a.m. every day and does not come back until 11:30 p.m. for preparing for the National Entrance Examination for MA/MS Candidates.
Zhu said, “I’m fond of economics very much, and I want to deepen my knowledge of this field and do research work in future, so receiving further education is the priority for me.”
In 2003 there were 799,000 applicants participated in the examination in China, 27.7% up compared with the previous year, yet only 217,000 students were admitted to graduate schools eventually. Latest statistics show that the applicants this year increased 18.4% with a total number of 945,000.
Study abroad
Compared with the busy graduates for job-hunting and examination preparation, still there are some students who enjoy a relatively leisure life. Wang Xinlei is one of them. As a senior journalism student in Shanghai International Studies University, Wang has had received the admission from Chicago University. Wang considered the media in the US fully developed, and over there she could catch up with the latest development of modern media. A master degree plus experience in Western media circle will redound to her career development later when she returns.
Starting from the last decade in 20th century, a large proportion of graduates from prestigious Chinese universities went to study abroad. The advanced education system and favorable career development environment in Western countries attracted thousands of talented Chinese students year after year. Statistics reveal that students studying abroad from Peking University, Tsinghua University and Fudan University, the top three in Chinese mainland, accounts for 20% to 30% of the total graduates annually.
The high pressure of unemployment and low rate of admission to graduate schools make some college students consider that receiving Western education is nothing else but a good solution for their graduation.
One once said that young people nowadays are luckier than their father generation because they have the right to determine their own future, while another said that these youngsters are more unfortunate since they don’t know how to choose their future when facing more temptations.
根據(jù)人事部的消息，今年將有280萬大學畢業(yè)生進入人才交流會或網(wǎng)上招聘會，比去年同期增加了68萬。大學畢業(yè)生的數(shù)字在2005年將達到320萬。
最近的統(tǒng)計表明，2003年的畢業(yè)生仍然有70萬未落實工作。2004年政府為大學畢業(yè)生創(chuàng)造的工作職位需達到300萬。畢業(yè)生不得不面對嚴峻的就業(yè)市場。
面對找工作的巨大壓力，大學畢業(yè)生使出渾身解數(shù)來謀求更好的未來。
期望合適單位
11月20日是教育部規(guī)定的招聘單位進校園招聘的頭一天。中國航天科技集團下屬的40多家公司和研究機構(gòu)在清華大學舉辦了首次專場招聘會。來自北京理工大學、北京航空航天大學等多所航空航天專業(yè)院校的畢業(yè)生參加了招聘會。
清華大學電子工程專業(yè)畢業(yè)生范陽說：“我愿意先工作，我相信自己的競爭力。在校園學習四年后，我渴望將自己所學知識應用于實踐中。我期望的是找到一個合適的單位，能提供一個良好的工作環(huán)境。”
22歲的范陽在找工作中表現(xiàn)出自己的信心。像他一樣的部分學生認為他們遲早要踏入社會，早接觸社會，早學到工作經(jīng)驗。
大多數(shù)大學生在夏天才畢業(yè)，但迫于人才市場不斷增加的競爭，許多人提前半年甚至一年就開始找工作。
研究生院繼續(xù)深造
西安西北大學經(jīng)濟學專業(yè)學生朱曉鋒就是這些想在研究生院繼續(xù)學習的一分子。為了準備研究生入學考試，朱曉鋒每天早上6點鐘起床，晚上11：30才回來。
朱曉鋒認為：“我非常喜歡經(jīng)濟學，我想強化自己在這一領域的知識以便將來做研究工作，所以進一步接受教育對我來說尤為重要?！?BR> 2003年中國有79.9萬人報考研究生，比上年增長了27.7％，然而只有21.7萬人最終拿到了入學通知書。最近的統(tǒng)計表明，今年研究生報考人數(shù)增加了18.4％，達到了94.5萬人。
留學異國
和那些忙著找工作和準備考研的人相比，還有一些人過著相對輕松的生活，王新蕾就是這樣。上海外國語大學新聞專業(yè)四年級的王新蕾已經(jīng)拿到了芝加哥大學入學通知書。她認為美國的媒體發(fā)展成熟，在那里她可以緊跟現(xiàn)代媒體的最新發(fā)展。碩士學位再加上西方傳媒的工作經(jīng)歷將更有助于她歸國后的職業(yè)發(fā)展。
從上個世紀最后十年開始，大批中國畢業(yè)生出國留學。西方國家先進的教育制度和優(yōu)良的職業(yè)發(fā)展環(huán)境每年吸引了大批優(yōu)秀中國學生。有統(tǒng)計表明，大陸的三大,北京大學、清華大學和復旦大學，每年出國留學的畢業(yè)生占到總數(shù)的20％到30％。
失業(yè)的巨大壓力和研究生考試的的低使一些人認識到接受西方教育也許是解決畢業(yè)去處的一個好辦法。
有人說，現(xiàn)在的年輕人比他們的父輩幸運，因為他們可以選擇自己的未來；也有人說，現(xiàn)在的年輕人也不幸，因為面對更多誘惑時他們反而不知道怎么選擇自己的未來。
