An unprecedented number of university students will graduate this June. Employment pressure is expected to reach a peak when 6 million students graduate amid the global downturn.

The government says it will try to ensure at least 70 percent of this year's graduates find employment. In the meantime, students are making their own efforts to get a job.

Ma Tingting is a tourism management student in east China's Anhui Province. She started searching for a job last November and has found out it is quite expensive.

Ma Tingting said, "An interview trip to Beijing cost me over 2000 yuan. That includes 500 yuan for transportation, 600 for accommodation, 200 for new clothes, and hundreds more for preparing and printing my resume."

A recent survey in Anhui Province has shown that the average expense of job seeking for each student reaches over 3,000 yuan.
