I know it is so difficult to find a new job in financial crisis. I'll do my best and ask for all kinds of help to find one. Not only for me but also for my family. "Do not give up" I tell myself.
I want to know how long it takes you to find your first job?

I have worked here for 8 years. In the past it seemed it's not very difficult to find a job. Since I don't have to find another job now, so I am not quite sure how it is today. But it seems it is harder as I watch this news from TV. But you can try many methods to seek a job. Such as you can try to find it online, newspaper or contact to your friends and see whether they can help you.
I love China

Yes, in China friends' referral is very important and is easy success.
I'll ask for help from my friends and seek by other ways.
Good luck for you and China.

It took me a really long time to find my very first job. I would say about 6 months. And I talked to everyone that I could think of. Lucky for that, because my computer programming teacher also sold computers on the side. He is the one that referred me to my first job. It didn't pay much, and I think the reason the guy hired me is because anyone else who could do the job wanted about three times as much money. Since I was so young, I accepted minimum wage.
Good luck to you in your job search.

Thanks for your response.
I hope it will not happen on me again.
In fact it took me longer time to find the first job which is referred by friend.
Good luck for all people who are job searching.
