According to a 2006 survey by recruitment website Zhaopin.com, the three most important ways students find jobs are through companies' campus talks (77.6 percent), job fairs (77.5 percent) and recruitment websites (68.1 percent).
Ren Zhanzhong, director of the university student career office at the Beijing Municipal Commission of Education, said fairs are "especially important for students from universities in small cities, where companies seldom tour."
But some employment experts say crowded fairs offer few opportunities for graduates to talk with potential employers.
"I weill not recommend students to go to the "supermarket" job fairs," said Chen, a staff member at the career office of Zhejiang Gongshang Univesity.
In 2003, Shanghai tried to fix the problem. They relaced large job fairs with "small, focused" job fairs, such as a job fair only for architecture majors.
"The more focused, the more efficient," said Chen. She gave an example of job fair that was for both university and vocational school graduates. Many university graduates in attendance, she said, felt "cheated".
Such discontent with job fairs has got both companies and students pushing for change.
