摘 要
由于受全球金融危机的影响，高校毕业生面临着相当大的就业压力。今年，一些企业例如家乐福(中国)、立白集团等相继取消全国校园招聘计划。对出口制造和贸易业来说，情形更是不容乐观。由于受国际金融危机的影响，今年年初以来，我国民营企业发达地区，包括长三角、珠三角在内，都受到一定的程度冲击。当前，英语专业成为受金融危机影响最大的专业之一，面临这样严峻的考验，毕业生在找工作时想到的与做到的显得尤为重要。本文通过分析全球金融危机对就业形势的影响出发，进一步分析毕业生应该如何清楚认识自己的价值观、兴趣与强弱项，如何深刻了解外在世界，再通过探讨外资企业寻工渠道，以便更好地结合自身兴趣与特长找到理想的工作。
