economy - Competing for a job in China

Stay at home, I advise American and European job seekers, who intend to fly to what they think is this promised land of unprecendent economic growth. This story in the HR-newsletter of Chinabiz, shows that for certain occupations in the big cities, competition is still tough. Every post for a secretary job got an average of 237 applications, while their qualifications went up. Least competitive was the job of landscape engineers, where only 36 resumes per vacancy were reported.
Heavy competition is also reported from journalims jobs, where word prices of 0.1 renminbi (= 0.08 US dollar) are common among local media. Stay at home, I would say again.
Only one of of ten urbanites would go to a different boss after Chinese new year, research suggests. That number might be higher outside the larger cities.
