What tips should international students master in job hunting?
1. Returnees also have good jobs.

In recent years, in the wave of studying abroad, 80% of statistics graduates come from China. Seeing that China students have occupied the whole world, the tide of returnees is like a spring breeze.

According to the "20 15 Survey Report on the Employment and Entrepreneurship of Returnees from China" jointly released by China, CCG and Zhaopin, as of 20 14, the cumulative total number of returned overseas students in China has reached1809,600, of which nearly 80% chose to return to China for development. In just 20 14 a year, the number of returned students from China reached 364,800.

According to the analysis of the report, the increase in the number of returnees is related to the enhancement of China's comprehensive national strength and the government's efforts to attract talents. What's more, China enterprises are accelerating internationalization, and the demand for talents tends to be internationalized. Major enterprises have gradually attached importance to the recruitment of international talents, opened jobs specifically for returnees, and even set up overseas special job fairs.

Don't be cannon fodder if you have skills in job hunting.

However, foreign students are also facing various embarrassment when they return to work. On the one hand, foreign students return home late and can't catch up with domestic job fairs; On the other hand, in the face of so many strong returnees, there are 7.49 million domestic fresh graduates competing for jobs together. Without the correct job search method, all efforts will sink into the sea.

This is not an alarmist. Many international students who decide to go back to China to find jobs feel helpless. George, an American returnee, suffered some hardships in the process of finding a job. "At first I wanted to stay in the United States and try to find a job there, but China people didn't have much advantage and couldn't find a suitable job. What is even more worrying is that the success rate of H 1B work visa is not high, and even if you find a job, you have to return to China. When I returned to China, I had already missed the autumn job fair. There are not many jobs to choose from, and the competition for better positions is fierce. "

In fact, it is always a headache for international students to find a satisfactory job. They often even stay in the first stage and don't know how to get employment information in China, which leads to missing good jobs.

3. Changes in overseas recruitment: earlier time, larger scale and more positions.

However, the continuous improvement of the overseas recruitment market is making up for the regrets of international students. With the increasing strength of enterprises in China and the expansion of business to the international scope, the demand for overseas talents of enterprises has increased geometrically. More powerful enterprises join the overseas recruitment army, expand the scale of overseas recruitment, and start overseas campus recruitment in advance.

Take Tencent, the domestic Internet giant, as an example. This year, it has stepped up its efforts to recruit students from overseas schools. Tencent will start a lecture tour and interview in the United States, Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and other regions from the end of September. Huawei held special job fairs for international students in August and June. It is understood that PetroChina, Midea and some bank securities also started campus recruitment on 20 16 in the summer, among which there are many high-quality international student positions.

1. Weigh the pros and cons and decide whether to return to China as soon as possible.

Despite the influence of foreign culture and language environment, foreign students have gained stronger language ability and broader international vision, which is favored by many large domestic enterprises. The 20 15 Survey Report on the Employment and Entrepreneurship of Returnees from China shows that international students have advantages in international vision, foreign language ability, independent thinking ability and adaptability to life.

However, returnees do not have absolute competitive advantages and obvious disadvantages. With the rapid development of domestic economy, foreign students spend a long time abroad, so they can't understand the rapid changes of domestic industries and lack understanding of the industry situation.

However, foreign students also need to master some job-hunting skills to improve their chances of finding a good job. Because of indecision and hasty decision-making, many international students are not fully prepared for job hunting. Therefore, it is best for international students to decide whether to return to China as soon as possible.

Pay attention to job opportunities before returning to China.

Some international students who decided to return to China did not have the consciousness of looking for a job as soon as possible, and waited until they returned to China to start looking for a job, thus missing the opportunity to find a job. Meng Ran, who is in charge of overseas recruitment in Zhaopin, has been in contact with a large number of international students and is deeply touched. "In fact, the employment situation in China is not necessarily absolutely beneficial to fresh graduates. Some jobs are highly competitive and the success rate is very low. Nowadays, many enterprises go abroad to recruit people directly, and provide a large number of recruitment for specific regions or schools. The success rate of international students attending such job fairs is very high. It is best for students to grasp the opportunity of overseas on-site recruitment of enterprises. "

3. Pay attention to the time to submit your resume in advance

In the past, many students lost at the starting line because of negligence. Wang An, the recruitment director of Tencent's human resources department, who has organized overseas recruitment for many times, mentioned that many international students did not pay attention in time when looking for a job, which led to the delay in submitting their resumes. A large number of outstanding students began to look for jobs at the end of the year or even at the beginning of the following year. However, the recruitment of most enterprises has come to an end, and the recruitment has been full. In the end, these students can only be forced to take the agency recruitment channel, and because they have no work experience and are not competitive enough, they often lose the best application opportunities.

4. Know employment-related information in advance.

In recent years, the rise of many emerging high-tech enterprises in China has brought many good development opportunities and platforms, and international students can fully consider their own situation. In addition, it is best for international students to know the industries, companies, fields and positions they are interested in in in advance, and make good preparations for application and selection.

It is worth noting that the concept of "internet plus" is very popular, and the popularity of domestic Internet companies is rising, becoming the first choice of many graduates. Internet companies took the lead in school recruitment, and the salary level also occupied a leading position, replacing the "Big Four" with unlimited scenery ten years ago.
