Different countries have different policies on international students' work.

Does studying abroad mean going to the restaurant to wash dishes? If you still think so, I'm sorry, I can only say that your thinking is still in the eighties and nineties. Now there are very few foreign students from China who are still waiters in restaurants.

Part-time jobs have become a part of the life of many overseas students. Do they either work as teaching assistants on campus or go to the enterprise to feel the white-collar life? Different countries have different policies on international students' work.

Britain, England

If you pay attention to studying in the UK, you should notice the news that the UK plans to prohibit foreign students from non-EU member countries from working in the UK, and they must leave the UK after the course, and only by applying for a work visa can they re-enter the UK. This policy has not been formally implemented. In Britain, Tier4 (student visa) still allows undergraduates and master students to work, but each person's visa is different, and some will be indicated according to the actual situation. No job? It should be noted that the British government does not welcome students from non-EU countries to work to earn money.

Compared with other countries, the study time in Britain is very short. No matter in England or Scotland, graduate students have only one year, while in China, English universities, which are favored by international students, have only two to three years. However, the academic research in Britain itself is more rigorous and complicated, which is more difficult and stressful for international students. ? The British government believes that the purpose of studying abroad is not pure if you have to spare some energy to work and earn money. ?

Many foreign students will ask, if you really can't work, how can you get in touch with society? In fact, Britain is a country that attaches great importance to volunteers. International students can engage in related professional work as volunteers or interns who do not earn commission, such as galleries, museums, communities, etc. Let them integrate into the local society in their spare time and exercise their communication skills, which is especially helpful for finding a job in the future.

Students can look for such opportunities by themselves, but more British universities provide platforms and send emails to inform relevant information regularly; Many college tutors also have their own industries and will recommend students to be volunteers.

United States of America

A junior who worked in America said: I work at the Qiu Lavista Resort in Wisconsin, USA. My job is housekeeping, and I do daily cleaning for my guests every day. ?

Part-time job is not only a process of integrating into local life, but also a process of letting foreigners know China again. He said:? It was difficult at first, so you need to learn how to clean up from scratch. At the same time, we should pay attention to speeding up and not dragging our feet. But what makes me feel relaxed and happy here is the process of getting along with people and getting to know each other. Of course, discrimination still exists in this country. Two of my female classmates were discriminated against at work. Their manager's knowledge of China was still stuck in the past, so he found fault with my classmates and finally took the opportunity to fire them because of a little problem. ? He believes that working abroad is a kind of learning, and you can really learn a lot, but you also have to bear some negative effects. How to weigh it needs careful consideration.

America is a country with a strong sense of internationalization. There are many large enterprises and opportunities, and the employment policy for international students is relatively loose. ? Compared with previous jobs to make money, foreign students now have a relatively good economic foundation, so more is to accumulate experience, get in touch with society and add luster to their future work experience. ?

International students working in the United States can be divided into two categories: those who need a visa and those who don't. Those who do not need a visa are mainly simple service industries inside and outside the school (but they also need to fill in the 1-9 form and have legal work status). Those who need visas are CPT (visa to participate in the internship program on campus) and OPT (visa for international students to continue their internship in American society after completing their studies).

American students are more free to work on campus and can start after entering school. The general occupation is mainly teaching assistant, but the competition is fierce. Almost all foreign students in China are applying, so we should seize the opportunity.

CPT is a visa for internship programs in American universities. During CPT, students enjoy the same treatment as regular employees of internship companies or institutions. CPT can not only meet the needs of international students economically, but also help them find jobs after graduation. But in principle, the work of CPT must be related to the major studied. There are many big-name companies in the United States that offer internship opportunities, such as Microsoft and Apple. They signed talent agreements with American universities. After applying for CPT, students will have the opportunity to enter these companies for internship.

Because of the wide choice, students studying in the United States are free to choose their own jobs. ? For example, students with average economic conditions will first obtain some certificates in China, such as the qualification certificate for teaching Chinese as a foreign language, so that when they arrive in the United States, they can teach others Chinese locally, and such jobs can be found in schools. ? Chen said to:

Australia

There is a saying among Australian students that studying in Australia is not complete without working. Some international students said that it was relatively smooth after they really found a job, and the only thing that made them uncomfortable was the language barrier.

Australia is a country that supports international students to work, but don't work as soon as you enter school. First, the language foundation is not well laid, and second, the living environment is unfamiliar. If you fail in your studies because of blind work, you will lose more than you gain. It is generally best to adapt to work for half a year or more, which is also the best time for local students to choose a job.

At present, Australia allows international students to work 40 hours every two weeks, which is more flexible. However, once students work overtime, it is illegal in the local area. Once found, they may be disqualified from visas. ? If you don't want to make money and want to be more helpful when looking for a job in the future, I suggest you do more volunteer work in the local area to improve your spoken English. ?

Being a ground guide is also the choice of many international students. Australia has a developed tourism industry and receives many tourists from China every year. Students who know Australia well and can speak both Chinese and English are more popular in the local area. This kind of part-time job does not need to give professional explanations to tourists, so there is no need for a tour guide card. Suggest calling the local travel agency. Travel agencies will generally check whether they have a driver's license and whether the language is up to standard.

In addition, there are many ways for international students to find jobs locally, including bringing resumes, looking for job advertisements in newspapers, surfing the Internet or introducing them through intermediaries.

South Korea

A South Korean student said that he had studied at Shuntian Township University in South Korea and worked part-time as a translator. ? In Korea, most of the part-time jobs that students do at school are part-time jobs for enterprises, but they need to hold valid certificates and work certificates recognized by the school. Foreign students with a high level of Korean can be translators or escorts, but the work permit is only allowed for five hours a day, and the accommodation management is very strict. They must go back to the dormitory before going to bed every day. ?

Compared with other part-time jobs, translation has a higher income, but it often encounters misunderstandings caused by cultural differences, but it has a higher sense of accomplishment. ? It should be noted that we must beware of being deceived. Some of my classmates who study with me go to look for jobs without valid school work permits, and black-hearted bosses will not pay for them. ?

South Korea allows foreign students to work, but since most of them have zero language basic study, it is not recommended to work now. First, they are unfamiliar with the language, and second, they are easily deceived and delay their studies.

In South Korea, migrant students divide boys and girls by themselves. Boys provide most manual work, including convenience stores and coffee shops. Girls also have these jobs, but if the language ability is good, it is recommended to be a Chinese tutor. ? Many Korean families do business, which involves international trade. They want their children to know Chinese, so they all want to find a Chinese tutor. ?

In addition, with more and more Korean tourists shopping in China, cosmetics stores, clothing stores and duty-free shops in many popular business districts need a lot of Chinese shopping guides and Chinese translations, such as Myeongdong area and the vicinity of Hongyi University. This kind of job has both full-time and part-time jobs, which is very suitable for China students.

Can international students working in Korea find their own jobs or pass them? Belt and Road? Enter the enterprise in the form of recommendation, or ask for help on campus. Korean universities encourage students to contact social practice, so they also encourage students to submit resumes to find jobs and enhance their self-confidence.

Working in Britain, the United States, Australia and South Korea, four popular countries for studying abroad, is roughly the same. If you plan to study in these countries, you can not only enrich your life experience by working, but also reduce the economic burden of studying abroad. Why not?
