Right job options

The campaign the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MHRSS) launched nationwide on Sunday to help university graduates land jobs is of particular importance this year. It comes at a time when the spreading financial woes have made employment prospects dimmer than usual.

The so-called "employment weeks for university graduates" have been an annual affair since 2003. It is estimated that the 259 job fairs and the online employment services organized during the two weeks until the end of this month will provide 530,000 jobs.

True, the number is far from enough for the nearly 6 million graduates in the coming summer. The goal the ministry set two years ago to help 70 percent of the graduates land jobs will be hard to fulfill as many enterprises face too many financial problems to hire large numbers of people.
