## History

At the time of 1999, the informationization of the employment for graduates of China had not started yet, and there is hardly any specialized websites of employment information for graduates. Employment information service was in the stage of low efficiency and high cost, and paper was the medium used most commonly. The reformation on informationization of the employment and the idea of the invisible market on the World Wide Web had not been established on a large scale. The decision makers of the work on employment for students realized that it is necessary to construct a top-ranking employment information service system for ensuring the work on employment maintaining top-class. Join Network Studio was established at March 25, 2000 for this purpose.
