More than 10,000 job-hunters went to the local labor markets last
Saturday, the first day for job fairs to open after the National Day holiday,
the Xinmin Evening News reported yesterday.
"We never expected so many people
hunting for jobs," said an employee with the Zhongshan Road W. job fair. "All
the booths were occupied at that day, and some employers had to set up their
booths in the aisles," he added.
"We have been receiving consulting calls
from employers since last Wednesday, and hardly any booths were available at
some fixed job fairs by last Friday," said a spokesman with the China Human
Resources Market (Shanghai).
On October 11, 115 employers established booths
at the Zhongshan Road W. job fair, attracting 6,000 job-seekers. There were 62
employers at the Pudong job fair on Shangcheng Road, which had nearly 3,000
job-hunters.
Business representatives, sales assistants, marketing
representatives and sales engineers have become the hot properties at the
fairs.
Many local employers planned to increase recruitment after the
National Day holiday, with the peak season for employment expected to be in the
coming two or three months, said a professional advisor with
