The survey is good news for this year's graduates who are trying everything they can to find the ideal job. Job fairs are hot cakes, springing up everywhere in China, especially in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Some job hunters complained they had to line-up for one or two hours to hand in a resume because the employers were too busy to conduct interviews.

"I think they should organize some exams or interviews before we come here. It would be more fair and more efficient."

Meanwhile, there have been some strange phenomenoms occuring, according to some companies' human resource departments.

Some college graduates have been showing up to interviews with their parents to ease their nerves. However, instead of the students calling the company after their interviews to check if they got the job, the parents have been calling to ask whether their children have been accepted.

Meanwhile, resumes are becoming thicker and thicker. The normally two or three page documents have, in some cases, grown to more than 20 pages.

Company spokesmen say they are receiving flash disks from boys and photo albums from girls, which they say are useless.
Employers are reminding new graduates to do extensive research on the companies they plan to give resumes, or they'll easily be wiped off the interviewees list.
