Some employers have begun to shun graduates from the elite Peking (Beijing) and Tsinghua (Qinghua) Universities saying that their expectations are too high, South China Morning Post said. The trend was first noticed at a graduate recruitment fair in Beijing in March when Twoloop International, an American auto-parts company, put a sign on its stand that advised graduates of the two universities not to apply for jobs. The company said that it had hired and fired seven graduates of the two institutions since it opened in China in 1998, because they lacked dedication and had egos to match their universities’ reputations.
Other employers such as chip-maker Intel said that the graduates it hired were of high quality and had performed well, while Siemens said that it was still hiring graduates from the two schools and had learnt to live with the likelihood of employees leaving in order to go abroad.
