BEIJING, April 8 (Xinhua) -- China's new college graduates deem development outlook of the industry and personal interests the top two factors in their job hunt, according to a recent survey.

The survey published in Thursday's edition of China Youth Daily had polled over 2,000 college students seeking jobs this year and found that about 66.3 percent of the students consider industry prospects of their potential employers an important factor while making relevant decisions.

Approximately 57.6 percent of the respondents said they will take into consideration if the job vacancies match their personal interests.

Salary and room for personal development have emerged as other factors that will be taken into account during a job search, according to the survey.

More and more new graduates tend to look for jobs in government agencies or public-funded institutions as students see such positions as more stable, especially in the current situation of the job market amid the COVID-19 epidemic, the survey showed. Enditem
