How to solve the difficulties of finding a job
As an international student, there is no shortage of competition to find a job in the UK. What’s more, many companies look more for local experience in the UK. However, personally, I do not have too much work experience in the UK at the moment. Therefore, I have decided that I need to get recommendations from appropriate tutors before I graduate. I will go and talk to my tutor more after class, complete every assignment carefully and share more about my learning experience with my tutor. I can use experienced tutors to help me write letters of recommendation, telling me that I have at least good teacher recommendations for the companies I want to work for, that I have a good background, and that I have a serious work ethic and am a good communicator.
In addition to the help of teachers at school, I can also seek help from my experienced seniors. I also need to maintain good relationships with seniors in my own major who can actually help me find other resources that are relevant. The most important point is that I can use their resources to meet more students from their surrounding majors so that I can expand my circle of friends. I was able to find out about jobs similar to my field of study and understand the competition and pressure of those jobs, and then make my choice accordingly.
Most universities in the UK have their own career development centre, which is usually located in the Student Activities Building. There is guidance on how to register, how to create and improve your CV, how to adapt your CV to make it stand out to recruiters, and how to choose a job that you are happy with and what kind of company is right for you. There is also a wealth of employer information and employment information, making it a top destination for university students looking for job opportunities.
The school’s Graduation Development, has a variety of functions, of which the specific functions generally include the following: job search advice: if students are not particularly clear about their career plans, they can make an appointment with a career adviser, the career guidance teacher will help students plan their future job search direction according to the situation, and will also contact the students who are already employed in the major They will also contact students who are already employed in the field to find out if they are interested in working in the field.
There are also have interview guidance: If students are already looking for a job but are not particularly confident in interviewing, they can also book a career adviser and have an interview with a career coach. This kind of specialised, one-to-one career guidance is not available in China. Firstly, I need to overcome the language barrier. I need to communicate more with foreigners and improve my speaking skills, so that I can speak English with confidence and eloquence, and I need to understand more about the company’s specific situation and combine it with my own experience.
Finally, I think the library would also be a great resource for me to learn about jobs. Libraries in UK universities or community libraries have a large collection of books on job hunting and employment, as well as books on career guidance, such as teaching you how to write a CV, how to get through interviews better, how to find information about companies and firms, and so on.
