In her opinion, some rumors about studying in China are wrong. Although graduate students only study for one year, it is not as easy as expected, and it is not as difficult to find a job in Britain after graduation. Shortly after receiving his master's degree, Joey became a salesman of Uniqlo, a Japanese clothing brand.
When looking for a job at first, Joey's wish was to return to his old job and continue to engage in public relations. Although there is a gap between ideal and reality, she is still content with the status quo.
"The work I envisioned before is closely related to public relations or brand promotion, and there is little contact with the market. But entering the first-line sales can let me know more about the market operation and master the consumer psychology. These experiences have practical significance for future brand management. "
As for how to find this job, Joey, who just came home from work in westerfield, East London, said he was "very lucky". "After graduation, I want to stay in London, and I told her this idea when chatting with my English friend. Coincidentally, she just resigned from Uniqlo not long ago and recommended me to the manager. I participated in the interview and training and successfully stayed. "
According to her own experience, Joy wants to tell other international students that connections are equally important in Britain. "Making friends with local people is the key to finding a job. Most overseas students from China returned to China for development after graduation, and the local people have more resources. I have always heard that Britain is an exclusive country, but when you try to integrate, you will find that it is not difficult. "
Joey also said that being fully prepared is one of the necessary conditions for finding a job no matter where you are. "Be sure to prepare your resume and try to deliver it in the first half of graduation. Work experience is definitely a plus, whether it is an internship or a formal job, so if you are not busy with your studies during your study abroad, it is definitely beneficial to find a job to exercise yourself. "
Haitou resume is also applicable.
Kathy, a girl from China, is currently working as an independent documentary director for a British media company. Before finding this job, she studied film at the University of East Anglia for three years and obtained a master's degree in documentary from university of the arts london Film Academy.
Shortly after graduation, the new director found a "professional counterpart" job and was busy shooting and cutting films every day.
"Actually, during my school days, I didn't know my future career plan." Like many students, Cassie doesn't know what she wants to do after graduation, and she hasn't even decided whether to stay in Britain or return to China for development. "I just want to do work related to creative industries. I thought at the time that if I could achieve this goal, I would stay in the UK. "
Based on this belief, she began to do what many graduates will do: resume of Haitou. Kathy first logged into official website of several ideal film companies, searched for recruitment information and filled out the application form. While waiting for a reply, she continued to submit resumes on recruitment websites Reed and Monster.
In order to finally find the ideal job, Kathy's experience is that it is necessary and a good start to carefully prepare a resume and cover letter in English format. "I often apply for a job online and communicate with potential employers by email, so my suggestion is that my resume and reply should be carefully worded and professional in writing."
In addition, Kathy believes that perseverance is essential. "Psychological endurance is very important, because it is common to receive rejection letters. I have sent nearly 100 application letters, and there are few respondents, but don't give up. As long as there is a positive reply, it is your opportunity. "
Kathy is very satisfied with her present situation. She thinks this job not only gives her experience, but also improves her communication skills. After work, she will take a camera and record the beautiful scenery all over Europe.
China students studying in China enterprises in Britain.
Sabrina, an international student from China, is a Xiamen girl who works hard for Chinese media in London. For two years, she worked for British Sky Network, one of the most active China media groups in London. In 20 12, Sabrina got a master's degree in communication and found this job. At first, she collected news for British Sky TV as a reporter. A year later, she rose to the position of department head.
Sabrina decided to stay here from the day she arrived in England, and she has been working towards this goal. "When I was studying abroad, I planned to find a job related to the media in the UK instead of going back to China for development. So when my friends traveled around the world, I started to submit resumes. "
According to Sabrina, in recent years, China enterprises have developed rapidly in Britain, covering a wider range of fields, and the demand for talents is increasing. Because foreign students have advantages in language and can play a good communication role, they are also willing to recruit students from China.
"At the beginning, I thought that British companies in China were a shortcut to finding a job. So apart from the recruitment websites in the UK, I will brush Weibo from time to time. For example, some famous British bloggers, such as "British red scarf" and "those things in Britain", have published recruitment information. I submitted a lot of resumes and soon received an interview notice from Skynet. "
According to Sabrina's memory, the interview was held in an office building in the first district of London, and there were five people interviewing together. "The first round is a written test, the purpose is to test the English level and news sensitivity; The second round is conducted by the personnel department, which mainly examines the communication ability of candidates; The last round is a personal interview with the person in charge of the company, mainly focusing on salary and scope of work. The last round of interviews basically means that you have been accepted. "
Sabrina's experience in working in a foreign country and breaking into London alone has become her life's wealth. She said that this job brought her a valuable work visa.
"Work visas are a problem that all students who stay here must face. China Media Group, where I work, only offers one quota every year, which is more intense than the competition for finding a job. Now I am relieved, and I can finally work with confidence. "
As a successful "experienced person", Sabrina's advice to students who want to stay and work in Britain is that they must have good pressure resistance and endurance.
"This is not only my personal experience, but also my friends around me. Our work will not be smooth sailing. Sometimes we are lonely, sometimes we are wronged. Many people can't adapt to living abroad alone, let alone working abroad. In two years, I have seen too many people give up. " Sabrina wants everyone to be mentally prepared before moving in. "London is really beautiful, but only when you are in it can you realize its difficulty."
