Every September, October, and November is the time when college recruitment fairs gather. In the face of increasingly fierce market competition, in order to find a satisfying job, graduates will inevitably have to make “dedicated expenditures” when applying for jobs. The gradual expansion of the job-hunting consumption market has also brought new business opportunities to some businesses.
Yesterday, the reporter learned during the interview that some teachers would specially purchase professional attire and other interview “outfits” in order to be recruited, and the cost of applying for a job could easily reach nearly a thousand yuan. Some businesses have also seen this market and started to advocate a “job-seeking economy”.
Recruitment fee
Recruitment expenses are divided into three parts
Mainly spent on clothing
Zhou Liang (pseudonym) is from Changchun University of Science and Technology A fresh graduate majoring in mechanical engineering, he is about to graduate. He has been running to job fairs from major universities one after another, and he has also spent a lot of money on job hunting.
“The cost of the recruitment is about three parts, business attire, resume fees and car fare.” Zhou Liang told reporters that because they were attending job fairs in other places, the car fare was not much. About 50 yuan, the main expense is on clothing.
“I customized a suit for 600 yuan, and bought a shirt for more than 100 yuan. I didn’t buy any shoes specifically. I wore my dad’s shoes. The total cost for the clothes was more than 700 yuan. “Zhou Liang informed reporters.
Compared with Zhou Li, Li Nannan’s expenses are much higher. She studied accounting with the goal of working in a bank. Faced with fierce competition, she was fully prepared to deal with the recruitment, starting with her dress.
“In order to leave a good impression on the examiner during the interview, the ‘outfit’ must be prepared. A suit and shirt cost 1,300 yuan, high heels cost more than 400 yuan, and the clothing alone cost More than 1,700 yuan.” She told reporters.
Li Nannan also introduced that there are 28 people in their class, excluding those who are taking postgraduate entrance examinations and going abroad, 22 people have participated in the job hunting army. In order to increase the recruitment weight, many students have made careful preparations.
“70% of the students in our class who participated in the recruitment have prepared more formal clothes. The cost of clothes is also the main income consumed by job hunting.” Li Nannan said, “Like us girls, many people The clothes are all bought now, and a formal suit costs as little as three to four hundred. The impression of the interview is very important, so it is necessary to spend the money.”
Making a resume
10 color copies and 20 color copies
Colored ones are used for “sea investment”
In addition to the “outfit” to be prepared, the resume as a stepping stone cannot be ignored. To this end, Li Nannan also made two preparations, “I made 10 color copies and 20 color copies. When I met a unit that I was very satisfied with, I submitted the color print ones and the color ones were used for overseas investment.” She calculated for reporters I made an account and paid 1 yuan for a color printing. Each two-page resume cost 20 yuan in total. Printing out one color copy first and copying the others cost a total of 12.5 yuan, so the production of the resume cost more than 30 yuan. The total transportation cost is about 50 yuan, so the total cost for the invitation is about 1,800 yuan.
Zhou Liang said that the cost for him to make a resume is not very high, 50 yuan is enough. Calculating this way, Zhou Liang’s job hunting expenses totaled about more than 800 yuan.

Oral exam training also comes to share the pie
One-on-one teaching for 150 yuan/hour
Meet the teacher job search At its peak, the “job search economy” also benefited many businesses.
“In the past two months, there have been some more big-name teachers in the store’s consumer group, and most of them come to buy formal clothes for invitations.” said Ms. Han, a salesperson of a brand of men’s clothing in a shopping mall on Chongqing Road.
According to his introduction, college teachers buy formal clothes for invitations, and most of them cost less than 1,000 yuan. Some buy them in sets, and some buy just one suit individually. This has a certain relationship with the teacher’s consumption ability.
In addition to the money to be made from the “outfit” of oral exams, oral exam education and training are also slowly becoming popular. Li Nannan said that now there are not only oral examination training classes for those taking the civil service examination, but also some workplace oral examination training for job seekers, such as oral English speaking training. One of her friends who wanted to hire a foreign company participated in this kind of training class.
Subsequently, the reporter consulted two educational institutions and learned that such training courses are expensive.
According to Mr. Yan, a senior English speaking teacher in Changchun, during the peak period of college job fairs every year, the number of teachers who train for English speaking exams increases. This kind of training is a one-to-one teaching method, and the tuition is 150 yuan/hour.
At another English training institution in Changchun, Ms. Sun from the Consulting Department told reporters that the tuition for training courses such as the Workplace English Oral Test Express is 200 yuan/50 minutes (50 minutes is one class hour). A piecemeal training is 10 hours and the tuition is 2,000 yuan.
“Oral examination training is mainly for job seekers who want to participate in interviews with foreign companies. The peak period of the college recruitment fair every year is also the time when the number of applicants is large, and the number of applicants has been increasing in the past two years. It is expected that in the future it will be targeted at There will be more and more education and training for job seekers,” Ms. Sun said.

“Before, a university customized more than 100 sets of suits here. The school counted the number of people who needed professional attire and it was much cheaper to buy them as a group than to customize them.” Ms. Liu said, if a suit is available on the market A suit worth more than 1,000 yuan will cost about 700 yuan to customize in this store, and group buying can save you more than 100 yuan.
