待业

Chinese汉语译成English英语法律/专利证书、毕业证、执照、个人简历 Residence card

It is on the Permanent Residence Card. For the question of Occupation, the answer is 待业, should it be translated as unemployed? or job placement? other term available? I think it was for a college graduate waiting for a job.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for every one's help. I used <unemployed>, and the client accepted, I think it's more common to use unemployed in US. Even though all the other answers can be used as well. Thanks so much for every one's help.

Job seeker

I've seen a few terms like 'job-waiting', but it doesn't sound right, and you'll not find much info about it online. I have a 'feeling' the term you want is 'job seeker'... well - that's the term most widely used in the UK anyway.
