The bar chart above illustrates the various reasons that college students find it increasingly difficult in getting jobs. From the perspective of employers, the lack of practical experience, excessive expectations and financial crisis ranks the first, accounting for 57.1%, 42.3% and 36.9% respectively.

The job market for college graduates is getting tighter and tighter. To begin with, with the social competition becoming keener, college graduates should be well-equipped with practical experience which suits the demand of the society. Otherwise, they will fond no place for themselves. Unfortunately, the majority of them lack adequate practical ability and operative skills. What is more, another reason is connected with their attitude towards employment. A large number of graduates put earnings above anything else. They aim at the well-paid position in foreign corporations or big banks and set a standard as high as RMB 5,000 for their monthly salary. Since below that they won’t accept any job, many opportunities have been lost. Obviously, if they have realistic expectation of how much they should earn in the beginning of their career, it won’t be difficult for them to get a job.

With the increasing college population, employment for graduates will become more serious. Among many solutions, having a correct attitude toward it is an extremely crucial one.

上述柱状图揭示了大学生就业难的各种原因。在用人单位看来，缺乏实践经验、期望值过高和金融危机排在前列，分别占57.1%、42.3%和36.9%。

大学毕业生就业市场正在变得日益严峻。首先，现代社会激烈的竞争促使大学毕业生更应掌握实践经验，以适应社会的需要，否则他们将无立足之地。不幸的是，大多数学生实际操作和动手能力较差。其次，另一个原因与他们对工作的态度有关。很多毕业生把收入放在首位。他们旨在外企或大银行的高薪职位，设定的标准高达月收入5000人民币。在此之下他们不接受任何工作，很多机会因此流失。显而易见，如果他们在就业之初就对他们的收入有更加实际的期待，他们就不难找到工作。

随着大学生人数日益增加，毕业生就业问题变得日益严重。在这些解决方案中，拥有正确的态度最为重要。
