Recruiters eye talent at top university
Print Edition
LOCAL and international companies were recruiting the first batch of students from the New York University Shanghai at a jobs fair at the university yesterday. Both jobs and internships were on offer for the students, who will graduate next year from the first Sino-US joint university.
Yu Lizhong, chancellor of the university, said half of the nearly 300 graduating students intended to do master’s degrees once they had graduated, but attractive job offers would be sure to be taken into account.
About half the final-year students are Chinese, the rest are from abroad. Company representatives at the fair told Shanghai Daily that the Chinese students at NYU Shanghai had qualities that made them stand out from their peers at other Chinese universities.
“One year of study in a foreign country does help them speak better English and become more proactive in job seeking,” said a human resource manager.
Another manager said he was surprised to find that a number of foreign students spoke excellent Chinese.
Natalie Kuan, an international student from the United States who is graduating next year, said she hoped to try out at a company in China for the first time. “It’s a shame that we can’t stay to work here directly after graduation as foreign students,” said Kuan, who majored in business.
Shanghai resident Villa Wu, who majored in finance, said she wanted to work for an international company after graduating. “It seems that with my degree it’s easier to find a finance job in a foreign company than in a Chinese one which values a master’s degree more, but there are of course many opportunities in the Chinese market,” she said.
