The year 2011 was once dubbed the hardest year for job-hunting, with a record number of 6.3 million graduates leaving campuses across China. So what do you call 2013, with its nearly 7 million graduates entering the job market? It looks tough.
2011年曾被稱為“史上最難就業(yè)年”，當年全國畢業(yè)生人數(shù)達到了創(chuàng)紀錄的630萬人。那么我們又該如何稱呼2013年呢?今年有近700萬畢業(yè)生涌入就業(yè)市場。形勢很嚴峻。
April is considered the final phase of job-hunting for the majority of college seniors. Butaccording to a recent report by Guangdong’s provincial education bureau, only 30 percent ofgraduates have signed an employment contract, reported Nanfang Daily.
對于大多數(shù)大四學(xué)生來說，四月是求職的沖刺階段了。但據(jù)《南方日報》報道，廣東省教育廳的最新報告顯示，目前只有百分之三十的畢業(yè)生簽訂了就業(yè)合同。
Luo Weiqi, head of the Guangdong education bureau, said the situation this year is even moresevere than in 2008, when the global financial crisis started. Luo attributes the difficulties offinding jobs to two factors.
廣東省教育廳廳長羅偉其表示，今年的就業(yè)形勢甚至比2008年全球金融危機開始時更為嚴峻。羅廳長將“就業(yè)難”這一現(xiàn)象歸結(jié)于兩點。
“Due to the global recession, demand for graduates remains weak as industries that rely onexports have been hit by reduced foreign consumption. Campus talks have decreased by 10 percent this year,” said Luo. “The other reason is the oversupply of graduates, nearly 7 millionnationwide.”
“由于全球經(jīng)濟衰退，出口行業(yè)因國外消費萎縮而遭受重挫，對于畢業(yè)生的需求減少。2013年廣東省企業(yè)校園宣講會比去年減少了10%左右。”羅偉其說，“另一個原因是今年全國有近七百萬畢業(yè)生，造成供大于求的現(xiàn)象。”
A trend of training those already employed to develop new skills is emerging amongemployers, which is also squeezing the chances of fresh graduates.
用人單位更傾向于對現(xiàn)有員工進行新技能的培訓(xùn)，這也使得畢業(yè)生的就業(yè)機會大打折扣。
At a recent discussion forum in Shanghai, Xu Jing, an HR manager, spoke to her counterpartsfrom across the country. The majority of big companies now favor those with relevant workexperience rather than fresh graduates.
前不久，在上海的某論壇上，某公司人事經(jīng)理徐靜(音譯)在全國同行面前發(fā)言說，現(xiàn)今多數(shù)大公司更青睞具有相關(guān)工作經(jīng)驗的人，而非應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生。
“When the economy is good, companies have the time and resources to train new hands,” saidXu. “But when they need to tighten their budgets, they want people who can do things straightaway.”
“經(jīng)濟形勢好的時候，公司有時間和精力來培訓(xùn)新人，”徐靜說，“但當他們需要削減預(yù)算時，則更想要那些可以直接上手的人才?！?/p>
Another downside is that students always want a better deal.
另一個導(dǎo)致就業(yè)率下降的因素便是學(xué)生期望過高。
Wang Enbo, an economics major at Guangzhou University, received an offer from a local tradingcompany 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.
來自廣州大學(xué)經(jīng)濟學(xué)專業(yè)的王恩博(音譯)得到了當?shù)匾患屹Q(mào)易公司提供的助理銷售經(jīng)理職位，月薪2500元。但24歲的她對此并不滿意，因此拒絕了這個機會，希望找到一個薪水更高的工作。目前她仍在求職中。
According to a white paper on employment in Guangdong province, the average salary forstudents with a bachelor’s degree was 2,795 yuan a month in the first quarter of this year.
廣東省就業(yè)白皮書顯示，今年一季度本科畢業(yè)生平均月薪為2795元。
“This is far below what students expect for an entry level job,” commented Li Zhiguo, whoworks for a marketing and consulting company based in Beijing.
“這與學(xué)生們對入門級工作的預(yù)期相去甚遠?！眮碜员本┮患沂袌鲎稍児镜腳_國(音譯)評論道。
Li said that although official numbers are not available, students nationwide expect a salary ofaround 3,500 yuan according to his estimation.
__國說，雖然暫時還沒有得到官方數(shù)據(jù)，但據(jù)他估計，國內(nèi)畢業(yè)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.
他建議學(xué)生們應(yīng)該采用一些更加務(wù)實的求職方式。
“For entry level jobs, don’t focus too much on the money,” said Li. “Once you get through thefirst year things will be better.”
“對于入門級別的工作，不要過分看重薪水?！盻_國說?！耙坏╉樌冗^第一年，情況就會越來越好?！?/p>

隨著三月末考研國家線的發(fā)布，各大院校也將在短時間內(nèi)公布自主分數(shù)線。而那些考試分數(shù)優(yōu)異的考生們又將面對終極挑戰(zhàn)：他們必須打動面試小組來獲取研究生入學(xué)通知書。

“準備面試時，一定要考慮到自己的聽眾——專攻不同領(lǐng)域的教授們。所以你要拜讀他們的研究報告、著作及其他學(xué)術(shù)作品，了解他們的興趣愛好以及研究領(lǐng)域，這點十分關(guān)鍵。有了一定了解后，你才能打動考官們，給出正確答案，更重要的是，提出正確的問題?！?/p>

On these forums, students share their experience of beinginterviewed by a particular professor, some recommend must-read pieces, and some evendescribe the interviewer’s interest in a particular research area.
每個高校的考研面試風(fēng)格各不相同。這一點就需要向研究生學(xué)習(xí)論壇來尋求幫助了。在這些論壇上，學(xué)生們分享自己被某位教授面試的經(jīng)歷，有些人推薦了必讀書目，還有人甚至明確寫出某面試官對某一研究領(lǐng)域的興趣愛好。
Finally, make a list of your own strengths, achievements, and any recognitions you’ve received. Memorize the list and try to use examples from it to answer questions related to these traitsconfidently.”
