Fewer openings in media: Survey

SHANGHAI: If you are hunting for a job, the media industry is probably not a great choice to consider at the moment, according to a recent survey.

Hudson Asia, a leading provider of human resource services, conducted a survey recently and found that only 18 percent of the respondents in media, advertising and public relations were ready to hire new staff in the first quarter this year.

The previous year, 33 percent of them were looking to hire new staff, Mark Carriban, the managing director of the company, said yesterday.
