College students desire jobs in IT (Xinhua) Updated: 2006-07-06 14:04
The favored work-place destinations for Chinese college graduates are
companies specializing IT, Internet, electronics, finance, consulting and
petrochemicals, according to a recent survey.
A total of 30,537 college
students responded to the survey, conducted by ChinaHR.com, on "the best
employers for Chinese college students in 2006".
The survey shows the
popularity of Internet companies rising fast, with seven entering the list of
"the 50 best employers for Chinese college students in 2006". Only one was on
the list last year.
The survey also indicates domestic enterprises are
winning college students' favour, while the popularity of foreign-funded
enterprises dip.
There are 24 domestic enterprises on the 2006 list,
compared with 19 last year. The number of listed foreign-funded enterprises fell
from 31 to 26.
"The rising popularity of domestic enterprises shows the
recruiting system, working environment, welfare, remuneration and training
opportunities in such enterprises have improved," said Zhang Jianguo, Chief
Executive Officer of ChinaHR.com, a leading online employment agency.
It
also shows competition in foreign-funded enterprises has become too fierce, said
Zhang.
Zhou Jing, a postgraduate in the School of Journalism and
Communication at Tsinghua University, has accepted an offer from the head office
of China Construction Bank in Beijing, one of the most influential state banks
in China.
"Compared with foreign-funded enterprises, I feel to be more
at home and trusted in large-scale domestic enterprises," said Zhou.
"In
addition, there is less pressure in state-owned enterprises. This will allow me
to better balance my career and family," she added. (For more biz stories, please visit Industry Updates)
