Job market twists people's outlook

A woman in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, who recently graduated from college, quit her job as a bank clerk after coming to know that she had got it through her father's "social networking". The woman, who posted her story on the Internet, has been ridiculed by many netizens. Worse, in an online poll, about 70 percent of the respondents said they would accept a job gained through parents' network, says an article on xinhuanet.com. Excerpts:

Many graduates spend hours, even days, trying just to prepare their resumes to be submitted to companies and government departments, while some can get ideal and well-paid jobs through parents' "networks" without making any effort.
