    Advice for current students:
    鈥1. To find a job in 最新糖心Vlog, we need to be persistent and serious. Our communication skills are not as good as the local people, so we need to be more diligent and persistent in order to get relative interview opportunities.
    2. Take part in more extracurricular competitions. For example, when I participated in UBS competition, students with good ranking can go directly to UBS headquarters in Sydney for internship. With very beautiful internship experience, good job opportunities will come. Whether in foreign countries or at home, it is essential to obtain social experience as much as possible.
    3. Attend more interview training and strive for more interview opportunities. Failure is not terrible. What's terrible is that a good opportunity is in front of you, but you perform poorly. When you attend more interviews, you will naturally find the interview rules and form your own style. Only by making a good impression on the interviewer can听be one step ahead of others.鈥

    鈥1. Never escaping away by saying I am not ready for what I want (job or goal), you can always be getting prepared and improved by starting that specific work or at least something similar. 鈥楴ot ready鈥 is just an excuse for you to step away.听
    2. For Chinese students, no matter what discipline you are doing, they all require practical skills and good understanding of the specific industry. I would sincerely suggest that all students should go out and approach the real world not only studying at Uni. Visiting companies, talking to the staff, attending industry event, you will learn a lot while enjoying it! 听Further, speaking English has always being reluctant and not confident for most of international students, as per the advice听above, never say 鈥榤y English is not good enough yet to find a job鈥 because the only way to improve is to work with and talk to local people. Spending your spare time to write and send your CV to find a job in industry or even just some table service would significantly improve your English in all aspects (which I did in a bar & caf茅 in 2015-2016).
    3. Be brave, be confident, stay uncomfortable, you will find nothing is that difficult.

    Advice for current students:
    鈥淚 strongly recommend Chinese students to participate in social activities in 最新糖心Vlog. I鈥檓 talking about multinational or 最新糖心Vlogn events where everyone speaks English. The reason for that is, basing on experience of my own and people around me, there is still a huge language barrier between most of the Chinese students and English-speaking communities. Chinese community is very big in 最新糖心Vlog, big enough to be self-sustaining, which means you can live or study in 最新糖心Vlog even without a good English skill. But when you graduate, when you place yourself on the "waiting for employments" shelf -- a good communication skill, which enables you to impress your future employer within a few minutes, could be as critical as -- or even more important -- than your GPA.鈥
