On April 1 1, there was a Wang Yujia who graduated from the University of Bath with a major in accounting and finance. As a result, she looked for a job for a year, but she couldn't find it, and she didn't find it after applying for a job. But her statement is worth studying. She said that neither she nor her classmates could find a job, and she couldn't understand why. Because Bath University is by no means a diploma workshop, accounting and finance are also popular majors. In fact, this problem is like Pandora's box, no one wants to open it or has enough level to open it. Because I have been engaged in management consulting for many years and interviewed countless returnees, I may be qualified to explain this issue thoroughly, hoping to help my classmates and parents.

We don't discuss people who enter the government or state-owned enterprises through connections, because these people only need that diploma. Most returnees will enter enterprises after graduation, especially private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises. So what do HR people in these companies think of when they see your resume or interview because you are a returnee?

First, because you study abroad at your own expense, it means that your family may be relatively rich, even if it is not the official second generation or the rich second generation, your family should be good. HR generally believes that people with rich families generally can't bear hardships and don't work hard enough, especially they are not sensitive to the company's incentive mechanism. For people with poor family or high economic pressure, they will work hard for money, but for people with rich family, 500 yuan's performance improvement is far from enough to buy a high-end bag, so there is no incentive. From the enterprise's point of view, it is definitely more cost-effective to find someone who cherishes this job than to find someone who doesn't care whether there is this job or not. Therefore, "fresh" returnees and domestic undergraduate graduates have more advantages.

Second, if you are a returnee, it means that your stability will become worse. Of course, this is a common problem faced by fresh graduates. However, returnees are more unstable. Because your classmates are richer and have more social connections, they may develop better. People are unstable because of contrast, so when your returnees get along well, you can't feel at ease with your work and it's easier to quit.

Third, because you are a returnee, it means that you may be in trouble, especially for students studying abroad. China's business environment is gray, there is no absolute black and white, and there is no real society ruled by law. In fact, 90% of foreign-funded enterprises have suffered serious losses in China, mainly because foreigners can't sacrifice their moral bottom line to cater to the gray business environment in China. Those who have studied abroad are more likely to become "angry youths" after receiving western education, and cannot live freely in the gray environment like "terrapin". Because returnees are "high-ranking", facing some problems, such as labor disputes, it is easier to resort to law or arbitration, causing greater trouble to enterprises. So even if you want to recruit people who have no work experience, it is more convenient to find a domestic undergraduate graduate.

The ideas and associations above the enterprise did not exist from the beginning, but were the result of repeated strengthening of years of experience and lessons. After a long time, it forms an inertial thinking (English is called stereotype), which is difficult to break. Of course, the above considerations are based on one consideration, that is, the level of "fresh" returnees is similar to that of domestic key university graduates. However, if "fresh" returnees can create greater value for enterprises, "fresh" returnees still have more advantages. But isn't that the case?

First, let's look at the English level. I have interviewed countless "fresh" returnees, and their English level is very low, especially their English writing level. Now, more people in China study abroad, especially students majoring in accounting or finance. As soon as they went abroad, they hung out with China people. As a result, their English level was even worse when they graduated. If you are a returnee, the interviewer will expect your English to be higher. The English that leads to "fresh" returnees is not as good as that of "terrapin". Just like if I interview a person who has more than 3 years of consulting experience abroad, I will ask some very professional questions, but if it is a person who has no relevant work experience, even the same question, my expectations will be much lower. So if you are a returnee, but your English is not up to the expected English level of returnees, you will definitely find it more difficult to find a job than the fresh graduates of key universities in China.

Secondly, let's look at professional issues. Anyone who has worked for many years knows that it doesn't really matter whether you study for a bachelor's degree or a master's degree (except for some very professional contents, such as technical majors and research majors). ). In fact, both "fresh" returnees and domestic fresh graduates should re-learn in their work practice. Take Wang Yujia as an example. Although she studied accounting and finance in Britain, in fact, China's accounting practices and systems are quite different from those in Britain. Relatively speaking, graduates majoring in accounting in key universities in China may be easier to get started. So professionally speaking, Wang Yujia has no advantage at all. At present, most students are facing the same problem when they study business abroad. From a professional point of view, returning to China has no advantage at all.

As can be seen from the above analysis, it is normal for Wang Yujia to find a job, and there is no social discrimination against returnees.
