Meet Chongqing college students holding 4 to 6 job offers from Fortune 500 companies in China
Nowadays most college graduates have much difficulty finding jobs; whereas, most foreign companies in China have an equal difficulty finding qualified employees.
Yet in my nine years of being with about 10000+ college students since 2001, I have known several students who received four to six excellent job offers from Fortune 500 companies in China!
Who are they and why do they get so many hard-to-get job offers?
I have come to realize that they have at least seven traits in common:
1. They are all female.
Why? Because fresh graduates can only get entry-level positions for which males do not seem to an advantage. Of course, most of what we call ‘top management’ is male dominated; so they are overloaded at that end of the spectrum.
In contrast, domestic companies in China are often criticized for sex discrimination because they prefer to hire male graduates.
2. None of them is taller than 1.58 m. (5'2").
It seems that tall girls have more choices and they tend to switch jobs often.
3. They are not very pretty, but they don't look below average either.
It is obvious that pretty girls have more choices and they also tend to switch jobs often. This is why most airlines in China stopped hiring pretty girls long ago.
The reason they don't look below average is because foreign companies do care about their company images in China. On the other hand, Fortune 500 companies in China usually have such a large pool of applicants to choose from. [Note: domestic companies in China are catching up!]
4. Their ability to speak English is not bad, but not very good either.
Over the nine years that I have been privileged to know 10000+ college students, I have identified only 183 local "English Masters": those who speak English fluently with pretty accurate pronunciation. However, none of the four to six job offer holders above is an "English Master"!
This seems to be because very good English speakers have more choices and they tend to switch jobs often.
5. They are all from small towns, not the big cities (but not from the countryside either).
This is because the kids from big cities are almost 100% from single-child families and therefore probably more spoiled, while those from the countryside might have had limited exposure to the complications of the more sophisticated world.
6. Most of them are from mediocre colleges in Chongqing, neither top-rated universities nor really bad schools.
Why? Because graduates from the top universities in China have more choices and they tend to switch jobs often.
7. They are all smart and sensitive enough to have rather clear pictures in mind regarding what their bosses really want, and they are capable of delivering what their bosses want, even without any explicit instruction from their bosses!
Can you find someone who fits my description above?
I think it is very unlikely. If you can find one who fits 4 to 6 traits above, you are lucky!
