A job fair was held on Friday at the Jiangxi Agricultural University in Nanchang, capital city of east China's Jiangxi Province, with 350 employers offering more than 8,000 jobs to university students graduating this year.
Among them, 225 employers from the food industry offered more than 60 percent of the jobs, covering marketing, management, and research and development.
More than 7,000 students from 12 universities attended the event.
"My major is very relevant to the positions I applied for today, such as tester, analyst, quality controller, and microbiological technician. This job fair offers me more options," said Wu Zhenying, a graduating student.
"We have invited a lot of companies here, aiming to help companies recruit talents that can meet industry needs and help more students find suitable jobs as soon as possible during this golden period," said Li Liping, deputy director of the Admissions and Employment Office of the university.
The job fair was part of a national campaign focusing on Jiangxi's key industrial chains and aiming to guide more college graduates to devote themselves to the high-quality development of the provincial economy.
The campaign was jointly launched by the China Media Group, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and several other organizations in 2020.
Over the past six years, the campaign has involved more than 100,000 employers, provided more than 8 million jobs, and received over 55 million resumes, serving as a key platform for promoting employment stability and ensuring people's livelihood.

Visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Saturday China is willing to work with Lesotho to strengthen exchanges on governance experience, enhance coordination in multilateral affairs, and advance the China-Lesotho strategic partnership.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks when meeting with Lesotho Prime Minister Sam Matekane in the capital of Lesotho.
During the meeting, Wang congratulated Lesotho on the 60th anniversary of its independence this year, and spoke highly of Lesotho government's efforts to prioritize economic development and steer the African country onto a path of sustainable growth. Since the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in 2024, the two sides have advanced cooperation under the 10 partnership action plans unveiled at the summit, successfully implementing a number of key projects to effectively promote Lesotho's development and revitalization, Wang said.
China stands ready to work with Lesotho to strengthen exchanges on governance experience, enhance coordination in multilateral affairs, and push for greater development of the China-Lesotho strategic partnership, he added.
Calling on the two sides to firmly support each other, Wang said that China will accelerate the implementation of its zero-tariff policy for African countries, including Lesotho, expand bilateral trade, investment and industrial cooperation, facilitate broader access of Lesotho's specialty products to the Chinese market, and continue to support Lesotho's national development.
China will continue to stand firmly with African countries, uphold justice for the Global South, including Lesotho, oppose unilateralism and acts of bullying, and work together to build a community with a shared future for humanity, Wang said.
On his part, Matekane said during the meeting that Lesotho cherishes its friendship with China and the strategic partnership between the two countries, and expressed gratitude for China's valuable support for the development of African countries, including Lesotho.
Lesotho firmly adheres to the one-China principle and resolutely supports China in safeguarding its core interests, he said, noting that his country stands ready to strengthen strategic mutual trust with China, expand people-to-people exchanges, jointly implement the outcomes of the FOCAC Beijing Summit, and deepen cooperation in areas such as infrastructure, manufacturing and energy.
Matekane stressed that China's zero-tariff policy for African products will inject new impetus into Lesotho's development. He also expressed Lesotho's willingness to strengthen solidarity and cooperation with China on multilateral platforms such as BRICS to jointly address global challenges.
On the same day, Wang also held talks with Lejone Mpotjoana, minister of foreign affairs and international relations of Lesotho.
