Online recruitment is very popular among companies on the mainland, including top corporations such as P&G, the big four accounting firms, and e-commerce group Alibaba. But a lot of university students think the internet is not the best way to find a job.

Some complain it is too tedious to fill in the forms, while others think their choice is limited because they are not from famous schools.
Li Wen, a soon-to-be graduate from Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangdong, has sent hundreds of online job applications but there have been few replies.
She says the process is time-consuming.
