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.

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.
