Based on the personality theory, 859 Chinese college students were selected as the research samples, and hierarchical regression analysis method was adopted to explore the effect of grit (perseverance of effort and consistency of interest) on job-search intensity and clarity. A two-wave longitudinal survey showed that perseverance of effort has the significant positive effect on job-search intensity, and no significant positive effect on job-search clarity. Consistency of interest has the significant negative effect on job-search intensity, and significant positive effect on job-search clarity.
