The influence of OPT in the United States on returning to China for job hunting one year later

Nowadays, more and more children go to study in the United States every year, but the employment environment in the United States is getting worse and worse. A large number of American students choose to return to China for employment or entrepreneurship, and whether to return to China has become the key for many American students to hesitate. On the one hand, they are afraid that the employment environment will not be as good as expected after returning to China, and on the other hand, they are afraid that staying in the United States will not fulfill their parents' expectations. This article may be more dedicated to those foreign students who hesitate to return to China, but still have a greater tendency to return to China, so as to share it with you one year later. Let's talk about shortcomings first:

Non-fresh year

Generally speaking, if there is a one-year internship opportunity, it should not be a STEM major. Let's take the Pan-business major, which is the most popular major in studying abroad.

Pan-business major is the most active member of the domestic job market? Banks in China are very concerned about whether you are a fresh graduate or not when screening resumes. Their definition of this year is graduation the following year.

Although American returnees often take exams one month before graduation, they can't go back to China for job hunting eight months ago, but it is sometimes so cruel to screen resumes online, regardless of special circumstances.

Unless some banks pay more attention to returnees or have special regulations on returnees, the chances of online applications being hung up because of non-existing problems will basically increase.

One way to solve this problem is to submit your resume in person at the seminar. This part of the resume HR will be manually screened to increase the chances of non-fresh returnees passing (provided that you are really suitable).

What's certain is that those who didn't submit their resumes on the spot, but only applied through the Internet, did not enter the next round, and went to the presentation after the online application, all entered the interview or written test (except for the People's Bank of China, the online application meeting of the People's Bank of China asked you to explain the reasons for the delay in dispatch, and you can apply through the Internet if the answer is qualified).

Unable to participate in domestic internship

In the same way, most domestic securities firms require internships with relevant experience. If working in the United States is not a securities type, the road to returning to China as a brokerage is basically broken.

Professional consistency

If the position of employment in the United States is inconsistent with the intended position of employment in China, it will be considered that the career goal is not clear enough. It needs to be solved in the interview.

Occupational stability

When HR recruits, it is generally expected that employees will work for at least five years, so for an employee who leaves after working for one year, there is often a feeling of misery. Of course, if it is not STEM and there is no H 1B, the visa can be counted as a force majeure factor for resignation.

Let's talk about advantages first:

be sure of oneself

When the unemployment rate in the United States remains high, finding a job in the United States, even OPT, will increase your self-confidence.

But when you arrive in Shanghai and Beijing, you find that your confidence is wrong? Returnees? According to the carriage. Master? You don't know that this position only recruits masters. Good English? Can Nong speak Shanghainese?

After vomiting, do you still want to talk about it, compared with people who have worked overseas under the same conditions? Naked? It is still popular. Because you have proved your social value on a larger platform, you are not fooling around before graduation. The job market is one of the criteria to test a person's true talent and knowledge. Dr. Black, Dr. White, a doctor who can find a job is a good doctor? .

Have a reliable overseas work experience, just like pork that has been stamped and quarantined. Although there is no guarantee that you will be more expensive than other pork, at least you will not be thrown out as bad meat.

One regret is missing.

Studying in the United States is an experience, and working is another experience.

For similar positions, the disposable income of American master graduates is much higher than that of domestic first-tier cities. Coupled with the relatively low prices, they got rid of the days of spending their parents' money or bitter scholarships. I can experience that in their twenties, they can live in a five-star hotel, eat Michelin and take a small gamble in Vegas (not gambling? ), let my parents go to buy buy on Fifth Avenue, and then I swipe my card, which is still a very good experience (Daniel with an annual salary of more than 500K after returning to China may be ok, but the starting salary of most students in Shanghai's financial industry is 100? 150k)。

Improving the oral writing ability of business English

I have relatively reliable work experience in the United States. When I return to China to do foreign investment or need a foreign-related position, writing a polite and good email will surprise the other party.

Generally speaking, I think the advantages of working in the United States for one year before returning overseas outweigh the disadvantages.

In fact, the more low-end jobs of small companies and banks, the less they like to recruit returnees, foreign capital and some industry giants. On the contrary, we can treat every job seeker with an open mind (understandably, the stability of employment is a problem, but these days, both undergraduates of Peking University and master rattan have gone to the bank to be account managers. Is the financial industry really crazy? )

These are all based on doing a reliable job in the United States. Due to visa restrictions, some students will go to a small company in China with a dozen people. Companies speak Chinese and write Chinese, and the majors are not necessarily the same. It's not that you can't do this kind of work, but if you want to use this kind of work experience as a boost to return to China for employment, it depends on your ability to fool?
