What's the buzz

China will see a record 6.99 million people graduate from college this year, according to official figures. As a result, college graduates are facing a tough time when they hit the job market. Have you landed a job? If so, how did you manage it? China Daily's mobile phone news readers share their views:

In my opinion, what society needs is not what you have studied but what you can do, because what you have learned at university may not guarantee you a job. Although I majored in engineering, I have a keen interest in English and made great efforts with my oral English. As a result, when I did not find an ideal job related to my major, I eventually took a job with an English-training institute and became a teacher. So my suggestion is that do not focus solely on your major, but also work hard at your interests and you will always get a job.
