Dear friends studying in Britain, have you ever thought that if studying abroad is just a kind of study, will it be a bit monotonous? If you have work or internship experience in the UK and have mastered the mainstream cultural concepts in today's British society, these are very practical and useful parts for international students who want to stay in the UK. These experiences focus on increasing work experience, not just simple work experience. Maybe in just a few months or even ten days, you will find that your harvest exceeds expectations. 1. Part-time job
Part-time job is the first job that most international students think of. The working hours are relaxed and the hourly wage in Britain is not low. It can be said that part-time job is the easiest job to get started and the fastest job to earn small money.
International students generally choose to do odd jobs and wash dishes in Chinese restaurants, which is simple and convenient for language communication. Some students are also looking for jobs to deliver food. A well-known express delivery company in Britain is called deliveroo. This kind of work may require some daily English communication. Students who choose this kind of job will have the opportunity to practice their spoken English.
Some students choose to do odd jobs in the Super League, and the work content is basically cashier. Occasionally, you need them to go online to help you find your reservation, so your work is relatively easy. After all, students have to attend classes most of the time. Here, I want to remind you not to delay your study while working.
2. Volunteers
Volunteers are the best way to make your time more meaningful. There are many different charities in Britain. If students want to report to the store manager, fill out an application form, usually on Saturday or Sunday, to help with the cashier's work or iron the clothes donated by everyone. Work is easier and time is more flexible.
When some students saw these volunteer shops before, they always thought that no one would buy these second-hand things, but during their volunteer time, many people did come to buy things and bought some greeting cards instead of buying second-hand things. In any case, they want to contribute to charity.
The above working methods are especially suitable for students who want to enrich their study abroad life. I believe that if you want to develop in Britain in the future, you will focus on the formal work of major companies. Here, I will introduce you to different projects of different companies, hoping to help you eliminate blindness.
3. Insight Week
If you are a freshman, then this project will be more suitable for you. Freshman is a familiar stage. Besides practicing language and basic professional knowledge, it is also the best time to start collecting recruitment information of big companies and get to know them.
Major companies basically have their own insight week. Students can apply for the opportunity to visit big companies. After you get the offer of insight week, you can go to the company to see how you work, whether you are interested or not.
This project is basically for students who plan to go to these companies in the future during Easter. In some companies, this project screening process is similar to the graduate program, while in others, this process is very simple.
4. Placement
More and more British universities offer many new courses to provide paid internships for students who want to stay in the UK after graduation. Many courses have a one-year internship year.
For example, Bournemouth University, known as "the first internship university in Britain", offers many courses certified by trade associations, and all undergraduate courses include one-year paid internship. A master's degree provides more internship opportunities than other universities in Britain. The school issues CAS for two years, as long as it pays 1 year tuition, 1 year class and 1 year paid internship.
The internship provided by general universities begins after the end of the second semester, that is, at any time between the beginning of July and the end of August in the second year of enrollment, and the internship time is 3-9 months.
Bian Xiao personally still thinks that internship is very good, which can not only increase his experience, but also earn some pocket money. However, some children's shoes think that this will make him graduate one year later, which depends on his personal thoughts and future plans.
5. Postgraduate program
This program means graduate program in Chinese, similar to domestic management trainees. As the name implies, this project is set up by the company to train future management talents and leaders. Projects usually last two to three years. This project is tailor-made for fresh graduates, because you don't have enough work experience, and the company values your potential and development space more. Students can see the structure and plan of the training program on the company's official website.
Here, I recommend several job-hunting websites: Milkround, Prospects, Graduate-jobs, Gradjobs, Targetjobs, Reed and Guardian. After entering the website, search for keywords (company name+occupation, job vacancy, graduation grade) in the search bar or enter the graduate program, and it will pop up.
Be sure to read the requirements, salary, visa and other details carefully before applying. If necessary, please call the company HR first, so as not to find a visa problem after getting the offer.
The salary of graduate program projects will not be low. Generally speaking, the enterprise will provide systematic training for the employees of the graduate program, which generally includes: regular meeting of Guan Peisheng, monthly training meeting, high-level guidance, project manager talks, quarterly evaluation, professional title certificate planning, job rotation in different departments and so on.
After the project training, it rose to the middle level, and after a few years, it rose to the middle and high level and entered the decision-making level. But generally speaking, big companies are very strict in recruiting people, and they are also super, which is compared to a battlefield without smoke.
For many international students who are studying and just graduated, language barriers and the accumulation of work experience may be important reasons for your delay in applying. Bian Xiao wants to say here that everyone is working for the first time, and we should strive for every opportunity to improve ourselves, even if it is only some simple and boring jobs.
In short, there are many opportunities to work in Britain. While studying, make full use of the resources of the school, find a suitable job to exercise yourself, eliminate the strangeness of the workplace, and integrate into the professional environment better and faster. Finally, Bian Xiao hopes everyone can get their favorite quotation!
