校园集结号: 史上最难就业年恐已来临

Another downside is that students always want a better deal.
另一个导致就业率下降的因素便是学生期望过高。

Wang Enbo, an economics major at Guangzhou University, received an offer from a local trading company to be an assistant sales manager on a salary of 2,500 yuan a month. But the 24-year-old wanted more, so she turned down the offer in the hope of finding a job with a better salary. She is still looking.
来自广州大学经济学专业的王恩博（音译）得到了当地一家贸易公司提供的助理销售经理职位，月薪2500元。但24岁的她对此并不满意，因此拒绝了这个机会，希望找到一个薪水更高的工作。目前她仍在求职中。

According to a white paper on employment in Guangdong province, the average salary for students with a bachelor’s degree was 2,795 yuan a month in the first quarter of this year.
广东省就业白皮书显示，今年一季度本科毕业生平均月薪为2795元。

“This is far below what students expect for an entry level job,” commented Li Zhiguo, who works for a marketing and consulting company based in Beijing.
“这与学生们对入门级工作的预期相去甚远。”来自北京一家市场咨询公司的李志国（音译）评论道。

Li said that although official numbers are not available, students nationwide expect a salary of around 3,500 yuan according to his estimation.
李志国说，虽然暂时还没有得到官方数据，但据他估计，国内毕业生的月薪期望值大概在3500元左右。

He suggests students adopt a more realistic approach to finding a job.
他建议学生们应该采用一些更加务实的求职方式。

“For entry level jobs, don’t focus too much on the money,” said Li. “Once you get through the first year things will be better.”
“对于入门级别的工作，不要过分看重薪水。”李志国说。“一旦顺利度过第一年，情况就会越来越好。”
