Chinese students United Kingdom employment breakthrough _BBC perspective on UK

A financial crisis makes United Kingdom employment situation worse, their graduates only 1/3, 45% of United Kingdom university graduates finds "prospects", in this situation, the Chinese students trying to seek employment in the United Kingdom more difficult. United Kingdom senior employment expert Dr. grant · Claudius (Dr GrantCrow) in an interview with BBC UK network, said: "I think that the United Kingdom's employment market is quite conservative, this can cause difficulties for Chinese students. Dr. admits, "grant immediate job market very fragile, all graduates are very difficult. Candidly speaking, in the face of the United Kingdom graduates and Chinese students, United Kingdom employers of course tend to local people. Dr. Grant said that, in addition to cultural differences, a United Kingdom company would fear Chinese students of poor stability, worried about Chinese students do not long, this is their tendency to local students. Dr. grant, soft-skills training is particularly important. Soft skills and everybody knows that hard, but does not mean impossible. Grant, Ph.d., pointed out that Chinese students to obtain work opportunities in the United Kingdom requires two things: first, the top University academic and good grades; second, there is a good "soft skills" (softskills). Grant said that on the first point is concerned, there are many Chinese students do, because they are hard to test, but in the "soft skills", the Chinese students at a disadvantage. What is the "soft skills"? this is a sociological term usually refers to personal emotional intelligence, personality, social etiquette, behavior, interpersonal skills, etc. This skill is considered on individual organization's success played an important role, especially those who need to communicate with customers face-to-face. Grant said: "If the Chinese students can clearly tell your soft skills, they are how to strengthen and develop all kinds of soft skills, so that you can show and other candidates. "So how do you develop this skill? grant, said that an important channel is a part-time work during the reading. "A lot of students think of their part-time employee if, in fact, as long as the watch, timely summary of experience and lack of good generalization of their training from soft skills, will be able to find a job in a dominant position. "Grant, said that the experience is very important, even if it is a very simple part-time work is also a valuable experience. Grant also proposed to list several major "soft skills", and then to your friends and family from these requirements to you for evaluation, see what exactly is inadequate. Interview challenges many Chinese students in the interview a problem encountered is "please say what?" the problem is that many people. Truthfully say it will reduce the chance of their own; the runaround issues now, afraid of being considered themselves to avoid problems, beside the point. Dr. grant suggestion is that this needs to be a good idea to answer. For example, you can not directly about your weaknesses, and is talking about you feel yet to increase the field, and then to actively tone answer you will do. Grant said that this will not be considered to avoid problems, because everyone has weaknesses, but from a cultural point of view, the United Kingdom are also accepted this statement. Grant, Ph.d., concluded that job really time consuming, many United Kingdom local students, they may wait three to five, but the search for information for foreign students, you will need more focus and perseverance. "I personally suggest that foreign students every day take four hours to find a job. In this respect, the Chinese students should have an advantage because they work harder, more consciously. ”
