Female university graduates in Shanghai are on average 57 days later than their male peers in finding their first job, according to a survey of two local universities.
Quoted in today's Sina.com, the survey covers more than 800 2004 graduates of Fudan University and the Shanghai University of Science and technology.
Female students with higher confidence in themselves will find it easier to get a job, the survey indicates, as they may get an offer some two weeks earlier than their peers who only feel so-so about themselves.
Fluent spoken English and a rich variety of social activities will also help, the survey reflects.
