Graduates continue to favor jobs in state sector
Print Edition
THE growing influence of private enterprise on the city’s jobs market was plain to see yesterday at a recruitment fair held at the Shanghai International Exhibition Center.
Of the 10,000 vacancies on offer, more than half were with privately owned firms.
Lu Jing, deputy director of the Shanghai Education Commission, said: “A growing number of jobs in the city are being created by small companies.”
The problem is that many graduates refuse to consider anything other than state-backed behemoths, he said.
“Young people need to broaden their outlook and consider all types of companies, not just government agencies and state firms,” he said.
The lengths of the queues at recruiters’ stalls yesterday, however, suggest Lu still has a lot of convincing to do.
While hundreds of students lined up at a booth run by Shanghai International Energy Exchange — a global trading platform for energy derivatives — barely more than a handful waited next door to talk to the comparatively small logistics company Joywing International Transportation.
An employee with the latter, surnamed Sun, said she wasn’t surprised by the relative lack of interest in the 12 positions her company was offering.
“Graduates think customer service is just taking phone calls, but it’s actually very challenging,” she said.
“Also, in a company like ours, they have really bright career prospects,” she said.
