Shortage of jobs to affect huge number of graduates

Every year starting from the summer, the office makes countless phone calls to major companies and institutions across the country, enquiring about job information or inviting them to come and recruit students on campus.
"Companies have been entering campus (for recruitment) earlier and earlier each year to grab the most talented graduates," Liu said.
Liu said since this summer, some famous companies, such as P&G, LG and Microsoft, have set up respective "Elite Clubs" in the university as a way to reserve future employees.
"The university, short of teachers with professional experience, cannot offer enough courses on practical skills and career planning to students," Liu said.
"The training and activities organized by the companies in Elite Clubs can effectively make up this deficiency and equip students with broader horizons and knowledge of enterprises."
Xing Lifang, vice-dean of the university's University of Foreign Languages, said almost all students will eventually find jobs.
"Many students still have a craze for metropolises in the eastern part of the country, such as Beijing, Shanghai and some coastal cities. They also want to work for big employers, such as famous companies, ministries in the central government and national media," Xing said.
"But when they come to terms with reality, most of them can make adjustments and successfully find jobs in other places."
