"The idea occurred to me after I couldn't find a job for two months," she said, refusing to give her real name or the name of the company because she did not want media attention," she said.

But, she adds, "As far as I know, several other people are trying for jobs in the same way."

Cai Yuli, Taobao.com public relations manager revealed that a Shanghai-based advertisement firm "bought" tony615_2007, offering her a strategy research assistant's post.

While describing herself on the website tony615_2007 said she majored in business administration last year with excellent marks. She scored 710 in GMAT and won the first prize in a national English contest for university students.

Gu Xiaoming, a professor in Fudan University said that it is a very creative way of looking for a job.
