Employment and entrepreneurship are different choices.

According to the People's Daily, in front of the booth of the Senior Talent Search Center of the 40th National Senior Talent Expo, there was an endless stream of job seekers who came to consult, including many returnees who returned to China for employment. Under the influence of the financial crisis, young returnees' expectations of work are more realistic, and their positioning of their abilities and returns is more clear.

"In the future, if possible, I want to start a kindergarten and carry out multilingual education with characteristics. Because the experience of studying abroad tells me that if I can master as many languages as possible as a child, I will have an advantage in the future competition. " Zhang Lujing, who just walked out of the job fair, still couldn't help talking about the future entrepreneurial ideal. "But I know that what I have to do now is to find a job suitable for my own development."

The Haidian Exhibition Hall in Beijing is not quiet in winter. On June 3 1, 1, the 40th National Fair for Senior Talents hosted by the National Talent Mobility Center was held here. Nearly 100 employers from all over the country made a two-way choice with the senior talents attending the meeting, and one of the important targets of this senior talents fair is the returned overseas students.

"I received an interview notice." Zhang Lujing, who is about to graduate from the University of Leeds, England, majoring in international media, was quickly attracted by an institution that needed teachers for media courses by virtue of her overseas study experience at this senior talent exchange. "Accumulating more work experience and social resources in the education industry will definitely help me to open a kindergarten in the future."

Job hunting and employment:

Rational expectation, balanced mentality

Not long ago, an article in Changjiang Daily, "The asking price of overseas returnees for job hunting is 65,438+0,500 yuan per month", has become a hot spot of people's concern. A young returnee who spent more than 400,000 RMB to study in Finland and then went back to China to look for a job said in an interview with reporters at the job fair of "Wuhan Famous Enterprises Entering Universities" that he could accept a monthly salary of about 1500 RMB because "this is the status quo".

Zhang Xi, who taught Chinese at Alexander Dawson School in the United States for two years, returned to Beijing in July this year and began a busy job search life. "I can accept a monthly salary of around 4,000 yuan." Although Zhang Xi has rich experience in teaching Chinese as a foreign language and proficient English application ability, she is pragmatic and rational when considering salary.

It is reported that in the job search conducted by ChinaHR. com. At the beginning of this year, returnees have fully realized the current severe employment situation. Most people set the "minimum acceptable monthly salary (pre-tax monthly salary) for the first job in China" at 4000 ~ 5000 yuan, and about 15% of returnees expressed their willingness to accept a monthly salary of 2000 ~ 4000 yuan. Zhang Zhenning, a human resources expert in ChinaHR.com, said: "Like domestic university graduates, international students have more pragmatic expectations of salary."

Wang received his master's and doctor's degrees in political science from Georgia State University, and returned to China this year to become a teacher at Beijing Normal University. Although his employment process is relatively smooth, he still said, "Employment mentality is very important. You can find as many jobs as you have, and the opportunity is fair. Don't feel superior just because you are a returnee. "

Employment and entrepreneurship:

It varies from person to person and from time to time. "I think young people with some ideas may have had the urge to start their own businesses." Wang Liang (pseudonym), who once worked in a large state-owned enterprise, believes that after studying media management and information dissemination in the Olympic Sports Center, he is now in charge of corporate public relations projects. "But the problem of starting a business varies from person to person."

At present, the state has issued many preferential policies to support returnees' entrepreneurship, but obviously, not all returnees are suitable for entrepreneurship. As far as returnees are concerned, it is often science and engineering talents with certain knowledge and technology in high-tech industries who choose to start businesses. For returnees in humanities and social sciences, the word "entrepreneurship" seems a bit far away. Moreover, whether or not to start a business is closely related to the life experience and work experience of returnees themselves.

Hu Xiaojiang, an associate professor at the Immigration Research Center of the School of Social Development and Public Policy of Beijing Normal University, believes that "some returnees have mastered new technologies, products or business models and have certain capital, which is more suitable for returning to China directly to start a business. Especially in the case of bad economy and low labor cost, entrepreneurship may be a better choice. However, for returnees who have just graduated from college and have no experience, employment is a natural choice, because the cost of employment is lower than that of entrepreneurship and the risk is small. "

Blueprint for the future:

Have a dream, it's on the road.

"Without employment, there is no entrepreneurship." When talking about the employment and entrepreneurship of returnees, Wang said, "Employment is a process of accumulation. Knowing more about the domestic situation, doing more field research and accumulating various resources for yourself should be said that these are the basic conditions for starting a business. "

In fact, most successful returnees have work experience at home and abroad. Zhang Chaoyang, the founder of Sohu, was the head of the Asia-Pacific region (China) of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the chief representative of ISI in China before he founded Sohu with the support of venture capital. After returning to China, Li Yanhong, the "father of Baidu", founded Baidu with his friend Xu Yong based on his working and living experience in Silicon Valley. It is these valuable employment experiences and experiences that have laid a solid foundation for their future entrepreneurship.

"Entrepreneurship not only needs to accumulate experience and resources, but also needs to really consider what you want and what kind of development route is suitable for. Stable employment is not only a good buffer for those who are interested in starting a business, but also helps young people know themselves. " However, Wang Liang also stressed that as a returnee, "if possible, you should start a business, and you are more likely to get self-realization satisfaction; For the society, returnees should be regarded as the best in all walks of life. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If you choose to start a business, your contribution to society is relatively greater. "
