What kind of jobs do Chinese people engage in after immigrating to Australia?

Hello, the Australian Bureau of Statistics' "Recent Immigrant Characteristics Questionnaire" found that the main problems faced by new immigrants are language barriers, overly theoretical academic qualifications, lack of local work experience, and lack of the easiest Australian workplace culture ignored by new immigrants. The unemployment rate among immigrants from non-English-speaking countries during this period was much higher than that of immigrants from other Western English-speaking countries.

So what do Chinese people usually do after getting PR? Are they really that bad? Or are they all working in big foreign companies with high salaries? The following are several major life characteristics of Chinese Australians after obtaining PR:

1. Return home immediately

Independent technical immigrants (accounting, IT, engineering, law, etc.) can obtain immigration requirements through various bonus points, so most graduates can apply without a job Get PR. However, because they only obtain PR through channels that have nothing to do with job hunting, such as taking IELTS or translating, the gap period in the workplace after graduation is much longer than half a year, resulting in no results in job hunting. Therefore, many people choose to return to China for several reasons:

< p>1. Getting PR is a result, go back to China and take a rest

2. I feel that it is difficult to find a job in Australia, and there is a good chance of returning to China

3. Returning to China to rely on family connections to work, some people consider returning to China in the future Return to Australia to find a job

2. Returning to Australia after returning to China

This type of people is more entangled. They stayed in Australia for a while and returned to China, but the domestic development in various aspects was different from what they imagined, so they returned to Australia. Generally, there are the following reasons:

The first stage of confusion: Returning to Australia

1. I kept looking for a job but made no progress, and finally concluded that there are more opportunities in China

2. The job is too difficult There is no future, but I finally concluded that there are more opportunities in China

3. I talked about marriage and age but did not meet a suitable partner (this type of girls account for the vast majority), and finally concluded that there are more opportunities in China. More

The second stage of confusion: Returning to Australia from China

After returning to China, I found that it was even more unsatisfactory. I already had PR, so I decided to return to Australia. Generally, there are the following reasons:

1. I don’t want to do a job that is too bad in China. Good jobs require more than 3 years of overseas work experience. I don’t like the position arranged by my family. In the end, I came to the conclusion that I have to start in Australia

2. Domestic wages are low, hours are long, and interpersonal relationships are complex. In the end, I concluded that Australia is better and easier (the annual salary of Chinese graduates is 20,000 Australian dollars, which is considered high-skilled and rich. In this regard, Australia's starting salary of 45,000 Australian dollars is indeed much better. . )

3. The conditions do not match, the outlook on life and values ??do not match, there is no "eye connection", and the age pressure of returnee men and returnee women is completely different (this type of girls account for the majority), which ultimately makes many The returnees who had gone on a "blind date" in China returned to Australia, where they felt more comfortable, to look for similar people

3. Looking for a job in Australia

Australia has high income, easy work, and the intensity of job hunting is almost no competition compared with China. It is a place for lazy people, and people are creatures without pressure and no motivation (they are motivated) (Except people), so the remaining PRs can be divided into the following categories:

1. Those with academic qualifications and PR working as odd jobs (or mixed in).

After all, I have an identity, and I can show it off to my friends who don’t have PR around me. My friends in China don’t know the details and think that having an overseas identity is great, but they are disgusted and avoid talking about topics such as struggling to find a job. In fact, these people are in the minority, and most Chinese are much better off than this.

2. High-minded but low-handed and influenced by domestic values.

Because I have a high degree from a prestigious school, I was repeatedly indoctrinated during my studies with the idea of ??"Don't go out to work, study hard, and your family will not be short of money." After graduation, I had two high schools and no social experience: high university ranking, high grades, and no social experience. There is no competition for good jobs, and people are unwilling to do ordinary jobs. In a blink of an eye, there are huge gaps in the workplace. In the end, they become either the first or the third type of people, expressing disdain or disgust towards topics such as struggle in the workplace.

3. Little English is spoken in the university, and work experience is either in domestic or Chinese companies.

It’s no problem to find a job in a Chinese company after graduation, and the majority of the Chinese bosses are pretty good, but some of them have poor remuneration (some don’t even have super required by basic employment laws) and low salaries (there is no legal protection for cash payments) ), long working hours (working overtime until late has no career prospects). This type of people usually actively seek job opportunities in foreign companies in the first 2-3 years of their work. Once no one points them in the right direction, most of them will give up completely after 3 years. They will be very disgusted with friends gathering to talk about their academic qualifications from prestigious schools. Good work and struggle.

4. Although job hunting is blocked but still positive attitude.

Philosophy: There is no place for me to stay here, I have my own place to stay! Open a restaurant, do cleaning, do business and other various development methods. Although this direction is hard work and a waste of academic qualifications, as long as you are willing to invest, the income is still worth the hardship and fatigue. This type of person has an optimistic attitude and is highly resistant to stress, and generally laughs off their academic qualifications.

5. Overseas Chinese in mainstream society.

This kind of people not only study hard in college, but also actively participate in various club activities. They basically have part-time work or internship experience in an English-speaking environment. Some of the more active people will participate in various short-term job training courses and graduate. Be pragmatic and hard-working, and be able to get started in the workplace quickly.

The Big Four accounting firms, banks, Telstra, IBM, Medicare and other major companies have a very high proportion of Asians, and you can see such Chinese people everywhere. This type of person can basically achieve a basic salary of 100,000 Australian dollars or more before the age of 30, and has entered a state of high salary, efficient and flexible working time and location.

This type of Chinese group is actually very large, but very low-key. Because they know that the hardships they have endured and the extra money, time and energy they have put in are not something everyone is willing to understand. Sometimes they are considered to be showing off, causing psychological imbalance in other categories of immigrants, so these people rarely People who take the initiative to talk to everyone about the real reason for success usually just say "good luck".
