An overseas study experience, at home

Q&A: Three viewpoints about work

What is the first expression that occurs to you when you look back at your experience of hunting for a job?

Shan Chao: Smooth.

Jiang Yundou: Enjoyable.

Song Zhenzhen: Lonely.

What defines a good job?

Shan: When we were graduating, my peers and I believed that multinationals were offering the best jobs because of their high pay.

Jiang: A job where you have real passion, a job that you want to develop into a lifelong career.

Song: A job that I have interest in and from which I can learn a lot and develop myself.

What do you think is the greatest virtue that helped you land a satisfactory job?

Shan: My personal strengths and abilities.

Jiang: Working hard and making full preparations, whether it is writing documents or having interviews.

Song: Stay true and be myself.

Have you ever thought about starting up your own business after graduating from college?

Shan: No, I had never thought about it because it was easy for us to find a job at that time. In recent years, I have considered entrepreneurship, such as opening a coffee shop or a bookstore, but I haven't put it into practice.

Jiang: No, I didn't think about that possibility because entrepreneurship was not that popular among college graduates at the time.

Song: I had thought about starting up a business but finally gave up on the idea because I didn't have enough funds, social connections and experience to secure a success.

What do you want to say to college graduates who are struggling hunting for jobs?

Shan: Take your time and remember that all roads lead to Rome.

Jiang: Actions speak louder than words, and there is no shortcut in anything we do.

Song: Follow your heart and do the things you like.
