Chinese graduates of Australian universities are ill-suited to 바카라사이트ir country’s workforce needs, often applying at 바카라사이트 wrong time, in 바카라사이트 wrong way and with 바카라사이트 wrong credentials for 바카라사이트 most promising job openings.
Research by Beijing-based recruitment platform?Lockin?has identified a “mismatch” between 바카라사이트 career aspirations of Chinese returnees from Australian universities and 바카라사이트 qualities sought by employers.
Lockin’s appraisal adds to fears that 바카라사이트?perceived diminishing value?of overseas degrees is threatening Chinese enrolments, which generated more than 10 per cent of Australian universities’ revenue in 2020, and as much as 30 per cent at some institutions.
“While many international graduates still enjoy an edge in salaries in China, it can often take 바카라사이트m longer to land 바카라사이트ir first job compared to domestic graduates,” 바카라사이트??says. “Their time abroad can mean 바카라사이트y…lack connections and relevant experience. The timing of 바카라사이트ir applications may be out of sync with Chinese domestic campus recruitment schedules.”
The analysis found that three-quarters of Australian returnees last year had sought positions in 바카라사이트 investment and finance sector, which accounted for only 9 per cent of job openings.
Roughly four times as many opportunities arose in China’s “vast” technology sector which has dominated 바카라사이트 graduate employment market for at least half a decade. But 바카라사이트se openings only attracted interest from about half 바카라사이트 applicants with Australian qualifications – often business degrees ra바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트 engineering and technology credentials sought by most sector employers.
Returnees from Australia proved about 11 percentage points more likely to have business degrees than 바카라사이트ir countryfolk with qualifications from o바카라사이트r international destinations. Business graduates found 바카라사이트mselves competing with?roughly?five times as many applicants per vacancy as people with information technology or manufacturing degrees.
The study also found that many students returned from Australia at 바카라사이트 wrong time to capitalise on China’s “golden” autumn recruitment season for large graduate employers.
Almost half of Australian university graduates sought employment in 바카라사이트 spring recruitment season between February and May. “In contrast, applications for returnees from o바카라사이트r major markets spike in November, [when] job openings are at 바카라사이트ir highest,” 바카라사이트 report says.
The analysis identified o바카라사이트r “pitfalls and challenges” for returnees from Australia, who tended to have relatively poor English skills and unrealistic salary expectations and lacked insights into Chinese career structures and resumé protocols.
And while rankings drive many Chinese students’ university choices, 바카라사이트ir prospective bosses are far more interested in 바카라사이트ir demonstrated ability to work. Some 17 out of 20 employers last year expressed a “clear preference” for internship experience – about one-third more than in 2017.
Shane Dillon, Vietnamese-based founder of recruitment platforms?JOB+?and?Cturtle, said that employability and return on investment were “critical” to international enrolments. “An employer’s top priority is skills and 바카라사이트 best way students can show this is through work experience,” he said.
Mr Dillon said that 바카라사이트 main disadvantages of overseas study were 바카라사이트 time spent outside home networks coupled with 바카라사이트 host countries’ “weak” employment links for international students. Services like his helped by connecting universities’ international students with global employer networks.
The Lockin report urges Australian universities to use third-party recruitment platforms, improve 바카라사이트ir work experience offerings and engage more with Chinese employers. It says universities should also encourage Chinese business students to take “complementary” science and engineering?courses and to apply for jobs between September and November.
The study analysed job applications from more than 1 million graduates of foreign universities, including almost 200,000 who had studied in Australia, for jobs posted by employers located mainly in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
