Returning to China after studying abroad has become a trend in the post-study abroad era. However, this is not a simple matter of buying a plane ticket and coming back. Instead, we need to face some specific and practical problems. For those who study in Australia, when will they return to China? What preparations need to be made? What risks are faced? These are all things everyone needs to think about before returning to their country.
When should I return to China?
1. You must return to China before August.
Li Sichen Studying Abroad will introduce to you that the annual graduation ceremonies of Australian universities are basically held in May, October and December. Most friends may choose to return to China in June, November or December. Everyone has the mentality of returning home first after taking the exam and then attending the graduation ceremony.
However, the autumn recruitment of famous companies usually takes place in August and September, and there is a tendency to come earlier. For example, this year’s campus recruitment of KPMG and EY has ended in July, so if you come back after October, you will face no job. situation. Compared with other countries, if Australian friends plan to submit resumes and find jobs after graduation, this time point is just right.
2. It is best to submit autumn recruitment one year in advance.
For example, the postgraduate program in Australia generally lasts two years. Students can participate in the autumn recruitment at the end of the first year of graduate school. In this way, after getting the offer, they can complete the remaining courses and return to China to work directly.
And if you come back to look for a job after studying abroad, even if you get an offer from autumn recruitment, you will still need a gap year before you can join the job (normal autumn recruitment process). Some employers will think that this kind of gap year increases the uncertainty of employment. Therefore, it indirectly makes it more difficult for international students to find jobs.
3. International students should participate in internships earlier.
Chinese labor law clearly stipulates that students who have obtained a diploma are not allowed to participate in internships. In other words, when you graduate from Australia, if you do not have any internship on your resume, you will not be able to get one in a formal law-abiding company in China. Any internship opportunities will greatly reduce your job search competitiveness.
What preparations should be made to return to China and settle down?
1. Pay attention to the qualifications of settled enterprises.
Does the employer have the qualifications to handle settlement? Most companies can apply for a limited number of study abroad settlement quotas every year (especially in Beijing), which means that you have to find out whether the company has the qualifications, such as a registered capital of more than 1 million, whether it will cooperate with the settlement process, and whether Regularly pay five insurances and one housing fund, etc.
2. Whether the salary meets the standards.
If you want to settle down, you must at least prove that you are a talent. This must meet two conditions. The first is that the school is ranked in the top 500 in the world, and the second is that the salary exceeds the local average salary (the average salary in Shanghai in 2019 is about 8,300) ).
3. The first job after returning to China.
If you want to settle in Shanghai or Beijing, you must find a job in Shanghai or Beijing within two years from the date of return to China (based on the date of social security payment), and it must be your first job. Therefore, if you do not successfully find a job in Shanghai or Beijing after returning to China, you will lose the basic conditions for settling in Shanghai.
4. Other important notes.
For example, if you settle in Beijing, you must stay in the country where you are studying for 365 days. For example, if you study as a graduate student in Australia, you must stay in Australia for 365 days, and time spent in other countries does not count. For example, Beijing hukou has a quota limit for each enterprise, but Shanghai hukou does not. In other words, if you meet the basic conditions, you can apply for a Shanghai household registration, but you may not be able to apply for a Beijing household registration.
Is it considered a fresh graduate if I graduate and return to my country?
1. This year’s fresh graduates are from the class of 2020.
Theoretically speaking, fresh graduates of each year refer to students who are still in their last year of study, not graduates. Therefore, everyone should participate in recruitment in the fall of the year before graduation. Most domestic banks and real estate companies will strictly abide by this provision.
Foreign-funded enterprises usually understand the academic system abroad and know that one-year or two-year graduate students cannot return to China in advance to participate in recruitment, so this year they may also treat international students from the class of 2019 as fresh graduates.But if you received your diploma in 2018 but did not participate in the 2018 autumn recruitment due to various reasons, this year will definitely be counted as a past student.
2. Spring recruitment is actually a supplement to autumn recruitment.
Many international students were unable to return home in time due to thesis and graduation travel. They also thought that there would be spring recruitment guarantees later, so they did not actively participate in the 2019 autumn recruitment. So everyone needs to know in advance what kind of companies will have spring recruitment? Basically, they are all companies that cannot recruit people in autumn, so under the current economic situation, there is a high probability that they will not be well-known companies. So whether such a job can reflect what you have learned while studying abroad is a big question mark. of. Therefore, we suggest that everyone must seize the opportunity of autumn recruitment.
For example, whether the company is willing to assist. Although many small companies have met the conditions, due to the personal preferences of their bosses, they may not be willing to assist international students, which will waste precious opportunities.
