Abstract: Employment competition among college graduates is becoming increasingly furious，so is employment pressure on them. Besides human capital，social capital is now playing an increasingly important influence on employment. Based on social capital theory，this paper explains the feasibility of studying employment problems of college graduates from the perspective of their social capital theory and puts forward a series of measures to avoid the negative influences of social capital. The authors points out that employment problems can be better solved if colleges and universities make better use of their resources in social capital accumulation，if families take initiative to upgrade the dimension of social capital，and if college graduates expand their social capital and raise the standards of social conduct by their own efforts to minimize the negative influences of social capital. At the same time，universities should also make attempts to further improve student quality，and families should pay closer attention to student cultivation. College graduates themselves should never regard social capital as the only hope for employment，either.
