Growing job-hopping expected
2/1/2004 16:17
Most workers in Shanghai are intending to change jobs soon, according
to a survey by the www.zhaopin.com and www.chinajobonline.com, two leading
domestic headhunting websites, the Shanghai Evening Post reported
today.
According to the survey, 24 percent of respondents plan to change jobs
at the year end and 29 percent prepare to hop to another job after the Spring
Festival holiday.
The number of resumes sent at the year end soared by more
than 10,000 from the middle of the year, mainly applying for jobs in IT, trade,
financial, consulting and tourism sectors.
Mid and high-end professionals are
the major part of the prospective job-hoppers this year, with the number of
returning personnel with overseas study or work experience on the rise, said the
spokesman with the Chinajobonline.
The number of resumes applying for senior
job posts (need more than five years of management experience and more than
eight years of professional technological work experience) reached 3,084 in
December this year.
Although SARS broke out this year, Shanghai boasted
rapid economic growth, with many industries reporting sustained growth, said an
advisor with www.zhaopin.com.
The city's more opening policies to
highly-qualified talents and personnel with overseas study or work experience
are cited as the main reason for a growing number of job-hoping, the advisor
pointed out.
University graduates who join the work force for only one or two
years should be cautious in changing jobs, as they have to accumulate work
experience before finding a better job, he added.
