毕业生:降低要求 寻求发展

With the ever growing number of graduates with a college diploma in China, competition on the job market has also gotten tougher and tougher over the years.
随着中国拥有大学文凭的毕业生人数的不断增加，这些年来就业市场的竞争也变得越来越激烈。

It is estimated there will be 6.8 million college graduates entering the job market in 2012, which is 200,000 more than this year. And according to a job prospect report by the education counseling company Mycos, China’s employment rate for college graduates rose 3.2% in 2009 reaching 91.2% in 2010. But that still means 1 out of every 10 college graduates won’t be able to land a job.
据估计，2012年将会有680万大学毕业生找工作，人数比今年多了20万。根据教育咨询公司麦克思发布的一份就业前景报告，2009年中国大学生的就业率提高了3.2%，2010年达到91.2%。但是这仍然意味着10个大学毕业生中有1个不能找到工作。

Facing a tough job market, college graduates, though mostly young and inexperienced, remain confident about their prospects.
面临严峻的就业市场，尽管大部多少大学年轻、经验不足，但是他们对前途还是有信心的。

A job seeker said, "I think the highlight of our generation is that we have confidence. Compared to previous generations, we are more foresightful and we have our own demands."
一名求职者表示：“我觉得我们这代人的闪光点就是我们有自信。和之前的几代人相比，我们更有远见，我们有我们自己的要求。”

After a round of searching and interviewing, our maverick retains his optimism but is willing to admit job hunting is a little tougher than he expected.
在一轮寻找和面试之后，虽然我们这位特立独行的人仍然保持乐观的态度，但是他们愿意承认，找工作比他想象的还要困难一点。

A job seeker said, "I’m looking for a sales job. There are in fact many of them. But it’s difficult to find one that suits."
一名求职者称：“我在找一份销售的工作。事实上这样的工作有很多。但是很难找到一份合适的。”

This is the overwhelming theme of this career fair and many others across China. 6.8 million college graduates are expected to enter the job market next year. The competition certainly looks tough, but there are just as many jobs available.
这是这个招聘会和中国许多其它招聘会的压倒性主题。预计明年有680万大学毕业生找工作。竞争看起来无疑是激烈的，但是有很多空职。

Availability is one thing, but suitability is another. An interviewer said, "Many job seekers have a lot of demands but are unwilling to start at the bottom.”
能找到工作是一件事，但是合适就是另一件事了。一位面试官表示：“许多求职者有很多要求，但是都不愿意从基层做起。”

An interviewer said," We’re all a bit confused here because we didn’t achieve the planned hirings and people didn’t get jobs. My advice is before outlining all their demands, applicants should first show us what they can do and what experience they have.”
一位面试官称：“我们在这点上都有点困惑，因为我们没有招到要招的人，大家也没有找到工作。我的建议是在概述他们所有的要求之前，求职者首先应该向我们展示他们能做什么，有什么经验。”

Analysts say this year has actually seen an increase in job posts available. Many companies are even taking the initiative by giving introductory sessions on campuses across the country. To those who are unable to land a job despite the opportunities, the best advice, is to aim lower now in order to shoot higher in the future.
分析家指出，今年的空职实际上是增加了。很多公司甚至采取主动，在全国的大学校园开宣讲会。对于那些尽管有机会但是没能找到工作的人来说，最好的建议是为了将来更高的目标，降低现在的目标。
