College graduates tend to concentrate their job searches on economically developed cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and southeastern coastal areas, and favor government institutions, foreign- funded companies and large enterprises. Few of them are interested in economically undeveloped regions, small towns or rural areas, and many have a discriminative attitude towards small and medium-sized enterprises.
