Ningbo Dahongying University, Ningbo City, China
The study investigates the present employment situation of the English Major graduates from an Application-oriented University in Zhejiang Province. For those who graduated three years ago, most of them are employed in schools, foreign trade companies, and state-owned enterprise, which are usually well-paid and stable. Twenty percent of them are not satisfied with their jobs. On the other hand, the fresh graduates will firstly focus on high benefits, job stability, and personal interest in job-hunting. However, their high expectation for salary and the enterprise’s extremely strict requirement lead to the difficulties of job-hunting. Recently, the university takes some feasible measures, such as Maker Lecture and Teacher Cultivation Workshops, which can effectively promote the practical ability and the core competitiveness of the English major graduates.
