A job fair for college graduates was held in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality on Friday, attracting over 200 employers from more than 20 major cities across the country offering nearly 7,000 job opportunities for graduates.
Held at the Chongqing Creation Vocational College, the fair drew thousands of graduates eager to engage with potential employers. Many arrived early, anticipating the chance to connect with companies in various sectors.
"We have over 200 participating organizations here, most from large and medium-sized cities across the nation. They have more than 7,000 job posts available, covering fields such as automotive technology, intelligent manufacturing, and artificial intelligence," said Hu Wei, director of the employment guidance service center at the college.
As students shuttled through the bustling venue, many expressed their excitement about the diverse opportunities available.
"This is the largest recruitment event I've ever attended. I major in computer science. Several companies here have positions that suit me, and I found one that I'm quite satisfied with," said student Chen Boquan. The fair also gave many young job seekers a better understanding of the job market and their competitiveness.
"I've mainly searched information online but had no in-person experience. However, I feel today that if I'm willing, there are many positions that suit me," said Wan Mengtong, another student.
By the end of the event, nearly 1,800 attendees had established preliminary employment intentions with various employers. Local employment authorities plan to host additional job fairs at universities in the coming weeks to further support graduates in their job search.
