Good morning,ladies and gentlemen.It's my great pleasure to take this advantage to share with u my views about the career planning.

With china's ever-expanding enrollment in higher education,most graduates are faced with a tight job market.what worse is that the number of graduates is far exceeding the market demand.and today's college students are losing their shine in social positions.there were 2.12million graduates in 2003,compared with 2.8million a year later,3.38million in 2005 and 4.13 million in 2006.meanwhile,the unemployment rate has been rising steadily.From these numbers you could easily see that the number of graduates'unemployment is indeed growing year by year.this year,the number of job-hunting graduates is a staggering 5million.

Under this cruel circumstance,graduates are forced to take up jobs as butchers,shoe-polishers,nursemaids,etc.some fresh graduates even work in unpaid internships or raise pigs as their job.Nowadays graduates are prepared to take any job to ease their financial pressure first.

In 2009 we're going to graduate from here.So,what's your planAre u ready ,are u feeling good or confident about ur future?what's ur next stop after graduation?

These questions aren't easy to answer,different people have different ideas as well as different future.Actually,it is still not so clear to me about what is exactly the next stop for me after leaving this school.No matter whatever it is,let's get some preparations beforehand.

To begin with,we should try to know ourselves very well,here i mean te scales of your knowledge,skills,personality,hobbies and health.Before finding jobs,u must have an entire acquaintance of yourself,you need to know what kinds of jobs suit u.In fact there are some students with high aspiration but low abilities,they don't have any working experience and they failed in the job-hunting.If u know that u are incapable of doing the job,just give it up,don't waste ur time.

Secondly,u must know the occupations and business that u are interested in."Do what u like,and the money will follow'!Think about what u want to do and find out more information about it.sometimes u can also consult ur friends or relatives who have the experience.and then u can learn from their failure lessons,this willprevent u from making the same mistakes and u can gain their successful experience.

as far as i know there are still some other intangible barriers exit in graduates'job-hunting,such as the social relations,regional restrictions,permanent residency and university's reputation,etc.especially some students from the rural areas usually find thenselves in relatively inferior positions.some graduates confessed that in order to get a job,they have to sign up some kind of "unfair treaties' and promise not to take the postgraduate exam or not to leave the company within several years,otherwise they'll neet to pay 5.000 Yuan for breaching the contract.and some employees even openly declared that they only need students from  key universities,so graduates from not so famous college are not even entittled to apply.

Currently,it's much more difficulty for us to get employed in a company than to get enrolled in a university.there's a common phenomenon"graduates means jobless,jobless cause chaos'.

Nevertheless,u don't have to worry so much.As the 2008 olympic Games is going to be held in Beijing,we're so luchy to be graduates from 2009.This game is not simply a game,it means a lot to us(time is limit,this essay haven't finished yet,tomorrow i'll continue writing on...)
