Whether it's returnees or aborigines, whether it's 985, 2 1 1 or one copy or two copies, generally, the farthest distance that these things on paper can send a person is through online application or written examination. During an interview, a normal interviewer focuses on personal abilities, especially hard skills. Unfortunately, most of the biggest gains from studying abroad are the growth of soft power. This article can be understood as an advantage of returnees from prestigious schools in the early stage of job hunting, or as a difference in personal ability in the late stage of job hunting.
The recruitment period of most domestic enterprises is from August to 65438+February, which is aimed at fresh graduates, that is, students in their senior year. Returnees generally graduate in June, and a small number of them are 65438+February. Even those who graduated in June will not return to China immediately. Therefore, for returnees, first of all, whether returning to China to find a job can be treated as a fresh graduate is a problem that many people worry about. Secondly, many returnees will miss the school recruitment period (at present, only a few enterprises have started the overseas recruitment process, and the feasibility of working at home and abroad is almost zero, because they can't participate in written interviews, etc. ), and these people rarely have the opportunity or experience to attend campus presentations and job fairs in various schools, so returnees are vulnerable groups in time and resources.
When people go to college, it is difficult to make a good choice and think about a good way out. In most people's minds, the graduation direction is postgraduate study, studying abroad, being a civil servant or looking for a job. I don't know if studying abroad or going to graduate school is just to find a better job. These are all processes and means, and the final result is to find a good job. Therefore, many returnees must ensure a high GPA, take TOEFL, GRE, do scientific research projects, and prepare applications. When they were in college, most of their energy was exhausted and they had no time to make professional preparations, such as internships. On the contrary, internship experience is the most important thing when looking for a job, so returnees have a decisive disadvantage compared with many famous students who pay attention to accumulating internship experience during their undergraduate years. But then again, it is hundreds of times easier for students in Beijing and Shanghai to find internships than students in other places, which also makes students in second-rate schools in Beijing and Shanghai more competitive than students in first-class schools in other regions. This problem of economic development structure is extremely unfair to most students.
Due to the uneven ability of returnees, many companies no longer blindly believe in returnees, and even think that returnees are nothing, or there is a hatred that "these people just spend money to gild". Except Harvard, Stanford and other famous schools, most of other good schools don't know much about HR of domestic enterprises, such as some overseas internships, projects and curriculum settings. It is completely different from that in China, so it is difficult to compare or judge HR in areas they don't understand. For example, when I went back to China to look for a job, I thought that the best things on my resume were several internships related to management consulting, but when I went to some companies for interviews, the internship experience of management consulting might be a sub-item for people who don't know this field. Therefore, if you want to go to higher-end companies such as investment banking or consulting, returnees actually have obvious advantages, and their efforts and experiences can be measured and compared fairly.
In most cases, foreign projects are more tiring than domestic studies, there are more things to see, and the breadth and depth of knowledge are higher. But many times, fresh graduates don't need so much knowledge to recruit people from the company. It is a common situation that what they learn has nothing to do with what they do. Therefore, enterprises will choose people who can make better use of them. They know more about domestic students and think that domestic students are more willing to endure hardships, work longer hours and expect lower pay, that is, they can make better use of them (not to mention that many people who have resumed diplomatic relations with the North have many opportunities for overseas exchanges. From this perspective,
Now every year is said to be the most difficult year for employment. In fact, I think it's never difficult for people to find jobs. There are many jobs with a salary of 3,000 to 4,000, and there are many opportunities in third-and fourth-tier cities, but fewer and fewer people are willing to go. More and more people are beginning to realize that it is a good thing to do what they like and find a better platform. Returnees have a stronger awareness of awakening, so most returnees return to China in Beishangguang, striving for the best company, the best position, or focusing more on the realization of personal values. So do the best people in the best schools in China. Compared with these people in China, only having a diploma from an overseas school has no advantage at all.
Recently, I saw a sentence "My eyes are wide open, but my ability has not kept up". I think this is also a more suitable evaluation for returnees. Returnees are generally anxious and conceited. It must be said that many returnees have conceited capital, such as knowing more about some international standardization and some management knowledge and concepts, so that many domestic enterprises will feel ungrounded or too arrogant when they see such returnees. In short, they are "not easy to use".
