Although the British economy has begun to recover, the employment situation is still not optimistic. Therefore, many students studying in Britain will choose to return to China for employment after graduation. Then, what are the advantages of "returnees" employment-which kind of "returnees" are the easiest to find employment-let's take a closer look.
What are the employment advantages of British students "returnees"-
In 20 1 1 year, the number of people studying abroad in China reached 339,700, and the number of people returning home in 20 12 year reached 272,900. At present, there are many overseas students returning to work, among which Britain ranks first in the difficulty of employment in various countries studying abroad. Most China students studying in the UK choose to go back to China for employment. What are the advantages of "returnees" studying in the UK returning to China for employment-
English is no longer the main advantage of British returnees.
International vision has gradually become the employment advantage of "returnees"
According to the survey of some returnees and HR, compared with those who have no work experience, the English level of some well-known "2 1 1" university graduates in China is not bad, and returnees no longer have a strong employment advantage in language.
According to the employment report of returnees published by a recruitment website, the enterprises employed by returnees are mainly wholly foreign-owned enterprises and Sino-foreign joint ventures, of which 30.38% returnees will choose wholly foreign-owned enterprises and 22.97% returnees will choose Sino-foreign joint ventures. These two types of enterprises pay special attention to their international vision.
According to foreign education methods, "returnees" students will have a broader perspective. Foreign education encourages students to innovate, does not restrict students' thinking, and makes students dare to think and speak, which is more innovative and has more advantages than domestic students. At the same time, studying abroad will help students form an overseas way of thinking, which is also valued by some foreign-funded enterprises.
What are the core factors that affect the employment of returnees in China-
Conclusion 1: Professional-related internship experience can add points to job hunting.
It is very necessary for British students to have some social practical experience in job hunting, and practical experience related to majors can increase their strength for the background of international talents. At the same time, having the practical experience of overseas enterprises can also reflect a person's knowledge reserve and personal ability, and practice will play a guiding role in broadening students' horizons. However, not all internship experiences can add points to job hunting, and some part-time jobs of work-study programs are not high in gold content, so it is best for international students to choose a major-related industry for internship abroad.
For a fresh overseas graduate, internship experience, school activity experience and work experience are particularly critical in job hunting, and these experiences are best directly related to the qualities required by your position. For example, if you study accounting and there is a volunteer activity in Britain to help people file tax returns, then this experience is very useful. And if you are applying for a marketing job, but your internship experience is copywriting, it is of little value.
Conclusion 2: University rankings are for reference only, and "soft power" is the key to job hunting.
Some students will indicate the ranking of their overseas institutions in their resumes, hoping to attract the attention of HR people. However, Lee Hung, the education promotion manager of the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy, told the reporter: "Britain has never ranked any universities, and it is also opposed to the society ranking its universities."
In fact, only a few famous universities in Britain are well known by China people, and quite a few excellent universities are not necessarily well known by domestic HR, and HR will not look back at your school rankings after reading your resume. Perhaps a good ranking will leave a good impression on HR, but this will not be the focus of HR investigation, especially now that international students go abroad at their own expense, and some academic qualifications are also criticized.
Compared with school rankings, students' "soft power" seems more convincing. According to the feedback from some domestic employers, they pay more attention to students' "soft power", including communication ability, teamwork ability, self-awareness and innovation ability.
In addition, "returnees" themselves believe that enterprises value "soft power" more. According to the employment report of returnees, 36.63% of the respondents believe that innovative returnees are more sought after.
Conclusion 3: British students majoring in technology "returnees" have better employment.
For "returnees" who stay in the UK, it is very difficult to stay in the UK for employment, and returning to China for employment seems to be their ideal choice. So which majors to study in the UK will have better employment prospects after returning to China-
From the perspective of employment, talents majoring in science and engineering such as IT, bioengineering, medical treatment and medicine have better employment prospects after returning to China, while those majoring in marketing and business administration are weak, with poor employment pertinence and relatively weak employment prospects. However, there are many students studying finance in the UK, and the employment prospects for returning to China are not bad. Domestic banks have a great demand for such talents.
Education in Britain is relatively comprehensive, involving all majors, and the "returnees" of high-end electronics, chemistry and architecture have better employment prospects after returning to China. In addition, the employment prospects of accounting, media public relations and education majors are relatively optimistic after returning to China.
Accounting has always been in demand in China. No matter how the enterprise develops, accounting talents are always needed. The demand for such talents is relatively stable, and the employment situation is relatively stable. Nowadays, many international high-quality public relations media have entered China, which means that international talents in this field will have good employment prospects after returning to China. More and more domestic training institutions may provide employment opportunities for education professionals with international background.
Correct orientation and calm mind are the key to overseas returnees' job hunting.
According to the employment report of returnees, nearly 70% of enterprise managers will not give preferential treatment to returnees, and even 7.97% HR said that they don't like to hire returnees. In an era when "only recruiting returnees" has become a thing of the past, what preparations can be made to win the favor of employers in the application-
If you want to get a successful job in China, you must correct your attitude ideologically, calm down your employment mentality, and face up to the employment situation of returnees, which is more conducive to returnees' job hunting.
"returnees" have changed from a scarce group to a group that is no longer scarce. While correcting our mentality, we should also give ourselves a correct position.
The purpose of British students going abroad is to exercise their study, life and work abilities, not to improve their social status. Before studying and working in the UK, you should clearly understand your abilities and specialties in all aspects, and have a correct position for yourself after mastering the employment situation of various majors.
