Interns get a leg up in job hunt

"The call center is an emerging industry in China that has a large demand for employees. Fresh college graduates will have more chances to be given full-time job offers when an internship ends. It is the candidate's communication skills that call center employers stress the most. It does not matter which subject the candidate studied at university," he added.

As for the basic salary, the average for the students doing internships at the call centers is about 3,000 yuan ($500) per month. A bonus will be paid based on performance.

"College graduates nowadays seem to have a higher salary expectation which few jobs in the market can meet. But the salary of the internship positions we offer is quite competitive.Internships can give them the chance to know the society and themselves well. They can get to know how much they can be fairly paid," he said.

Wang Bo has just finished his six-month internship at the credit card center of a State-owned commercial bank in Shanghai.

"I will be working as a customer service representative at the center. The salary is also quite good, at about 4,000 yuan a month, which is way better than in my hometown Shaanxi," said Wang, who majored in marketing at Shaanxi Youth Vocational College.

About 200 students in Shaanxi applied for this internship program. Only 50 of them passed the interview and got the chance to intern in large organizations in Shanghai. About 20 of the students were given full-time job opportunities and decided to stay here.
