2. Online recruitment platform: On the online recruitment platform, you can find a job that suits your major and interests and apply for it. Some commonly used international recruitment websites include LinkedIn, indeed, Glassdoor and so on.

3. Career Counseling and Guidance: You can consult the International Student Affairs Office, the Career Guidance Center or professional career counseling institutions to get employment advice and guidance.
