It is a trend for returnees to return to China for employment, but it will become more and more difficult to find a job. What are the advantages?

In recent years, the phenomenon of overseas students returning to China to find jobs has become more and more obvious. In fact, the question that everyone is most concerned about is: Compared with most domestic graduates, is there any advantage in the status of returnees? What are the advantages? Is it obvious?

In fact, there is no correct answer to this question. Advantages and disadvantages are produced by comparison. Once there is a comparison, there is a standard of measurement. The advantage we think is actually a relative advantage and competitiveness. Let me give you a very simple example: Who has the advantage, the graduates from Tsinghua in China or the graduates from schools ranked above 3,000 in the United States?

Perhaps, as domestic graduates, Tsinghua graduates will have an advantage over most graduates, but do we really think that overseas students who graduate from American schools have no advantage over ordinary domestic graduates? There may be advantages, but no one is sure, so the advantages are relative. Let's narrow down the discussion.

First look at the company's recruitment needs.

Here we can be divided into two situations. For most small-scale companies, in fact, when recruiting, there is no requirement for academic qualifications, or even no requirement. Whether you are a college student or not, they don't care. They just need you to be qualified for the job. In the second case, some specific positions in some companies will have academic qualifications and school requirements. For example, for some technical positions, some large-scale companies will clearly state in the recruitment information that as long as they are graduates of 985, 265, 438+065, 438+0 schools or QS 200 top schools, generally speaking, such clear requirements are common in large central enterprises, and most private enterprises generally have no clear academic requirements.

Second, face up to the existence of implicit discrimination.

Some big Internet companies don't require you to be 985,211or to study abroad, but there is such a phenomenon that deserves our attention, and we should also recognize its existence. Although many recruitment companies don't require high academic qualifications, if your school is not good enough and the ranking is not high enough, although other companies have given you the opportunity to submit your resume, it can't be shown in public. For recruiters, people don't have to have you, but choose whether to have you or not when they have a choice. Generally speaking, it is not uncommon for a company to compete for a person.

Therefore, for the recruiter, the employment demand will definitely be adjusted according to the actual situation of the company. In addition, the economic situation this year is not very good. If it is a big factory like BAT, the company is very big, because the starting point of salary is relatively high. However, due to the limited number of recruitment positions, this hidden discrimination will become more and more obvious. They are all elites, and they must be the best. Many people are doomed to be eliminated.

Next, let's break it down to see if returnees have an advantage over domestic "key" graduates.

For recruiters, the first level of eliminating people is to look at your school. For returnees, if the school you study in ranks 200-300 in QS, you can consider yourself a key school in China, and you really have an advantage over the non-key one and two.

But is this advantage brought by studying abroad itself? Not exactly. In fact, it is equivalent to overtaking in a corner. Because you spent a lot of money to study abroad, you have a relatively consistent academic level, including the ability to take exams and intelligence, but you spent money to get promoted to a higher ranked school. This has a comparative advantage, but this advantage will decrease year by year.

So, for the recruiting unit, will the identity of returnees get enough attention?

Will the employer respect you because you are a returnee?

The reality is: no!

Moreover, some enterprises actually have a bad impression and evaluation of returnees. They don't even like recruiting returnees. Why not? The main reasons are as follows:

Most employers will label returnees as "far-sighted" in recruitment interviews. Don't believe it, it's a fact. Compared with job seekers who graduated from some good universities in China, most returnees really look too far when looking for a job.

But on the other hand, let's think about it. Do they really want to be arrogant?

Actually, there are many reasons behind it. Many study agents blow returnees to the sky, and parents don't know what to do, so students themselves can't accept the employment pressure of returning to China to compete with domestic graduates. In this case, the information is not equal, which leaves a cognition for most returnees: "I want to have an advantage in returning to China for employment." When many returnees return to China, the target company is obviously higher than the actual ability, and the expectation and ability do not match.

Here, I would like to remind most returnees that they must calm down and don't think too high about their starting point when they return to China for employment. You just spend money to buy a foreign degree, and there is no absolute advantage. You still have to compete with nearly 9 million graduates across the country on the same starting line.

We can know a thing or two about the phenomenon of many returnees returning to China as intermediaries. In fact, finding a job is far from as easy as you think.

Let's talk about why many HR companies don't like returnees.

On the one hand, the reason is that many people have too high expectations for returning to China for employment. For a person's career, his expectation of a job depends not only on the market. To give a simple example, all college students now earn more than 300,000 yuan a year. Of course you don't want to be worse than others. Their grades in college are not as good as yours. However, due to the downward economic environment and asymmetric information, for returnees, they actually don't know the domestic employment situation.

"I am a returnee, so my starting point should be higher than others."

"Spending so much money on study must not be wasted. You must find a satisfactory job."

It is precisely because of the existence of such a group of returnees that they feel that they have the aura of returnees on their heads and should find a job with a high starting point and good pay. It is precisely because of this unreasonable high expectation beyond reality and reality that many people can't even find ordinary jobs.

So what should returnees do to integrate into the domestic job market as soon as possible?

If you plan to go abroad in the last three years, be prepared to go back to China to find a job in advance. Like domestic graduates, pay more attention to recruitment details and information, and never wait until graduation to start preparing. A returnee I knew before asked me to push a big factory internally, but I pushed it internally. I didn't expect my resume to fail this test. Never ignore something that everyone should do just because you are a returnee, such as writing a resume. For most returnees, no matter how big your advantage is, it is impossible to write a good and beautiful resume. Your advantages are not enough for you to have the capital and courage to omit these basic links and steps. You still have to write your resume and prepare for the interview like everyone else. Having said the reasons why I don't like returnees, let's talk about what companies like to recruit returnees.

Generally speaking, for companies with high language requirements, such as consulting companies and FMCG companies, there is a professional term in the recruitment industry called HC, which is called the number of recruits, and HC is locked. In this case, for returnees, there must be a mentality of welcoming demotion. To put it bluntly, your advantage is that you have a job and others have no job. A friend who served abroad for 10 years told himself,

In fact, in the current environment, as a returnee, if you want to give full play to what little advantage you have left, you should be down-to-earth and don't think that you want to be like a graduate of a prestigious school.

Why is it increasingly difficult for returnees to find jobs?

Because those fast-moving companies that need more consultation from overseas Chinese have actually closed down in a bad economic environment, the gap in natural recruitment will become smaller, and everyone will find it more and more difficult to find a job.

In short, don't take the identity of returnees too seriously. You have an advantage, but not much. Most people should be down-to-earth, steady and steady, make clear the market demand, and understand their own positioning and advantages and disadvantages. Maybe this is the best way to give play to your advantages.
