Little C's story
Is it really difficult for UK students to return to work?
The decision to return home is not a pity, but it is not perfect. Looking back on my four years in the UK, it was the happiest and most fulfilling time I had before I actually entered the domestic workplace. The friendship that has been precipitated during the study abroad is also destined to become more precious because of a special and irreplaceable common experience of others. Most of the students want to stay and work together, but there are very few students who can stay and harvest work. When a large number of returnees poured into the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou, and the increasingly crowded Chengdu, the question arose: is it true that British returnees are difficult to find employment?
As a student, my real feeling is that it is really difficult, and it is getting harder. No matter which cattle school comes back from studying abroad, as long as HR is not familiar with the domestic market environment; not familiar with the interpersonal communication mode of domestic enterprises; and there is no domestic sales relationship channel" can knock your salary expectations back to the most original starting point.
I once promised not to spend my parents' money again, but after the average monthly salary of less than 10,000 yuan was removed, after nearly one-half of the rent was removed, how could it be spent in the blink of an eye? This year's graduates can finally stay in the UK temporarily through the return of the PSW visa policy, do we returnees who have returned to China for employment but are reluctant to return to the sea again?

PSW is not all-powerful, what should I do?
The United States read the book for 6 years, thinking that it was natural to stay, and as a result, it applied for two H-1B work visas, and finally shouted "wronged" out of the game with the end of not winning the lottery. Before leaving the United States, because of a word from a friend, I decided to go to the United Kingdom and started to study at one of the G5 universities in the United Kingdom half a year later.
Unexpectedly , after "forced" to abandon the United States from the United Kingdom, my job search all the way to the green light, because of the experience of losing in the United States first, I riveted the momentum to apply for the Qualification Scheme internship of each family as soon as I enrolled in the Ying Shuo, the school recruitment, the sea investment two-pronged approach, the first semester has not ended on the two finals, and finally chose one of the companies paid internship position, the goal is naturally "to turn positive".
This year (2021) PSW graduation visa is back, seemingly good news, in fact, because the study abroad talents from all over the world will use this reopened graduation job search window to stay and find a job, the competition for good positions will be more intense. If the internship company happens to be not in the list of guaranteed work visa qualifications, how can graduates who stay in the UK implement the work in the shortest possible time to obtain the work visa guarantee?
Jill's story
My dream of going to England was realized by my twin daughters
The biggest motivation that allowed me to quickly emerge from the frustration of failing marriage was to accompany my two twin daughters to grow up healthy and happy. And the biggest reason for me to free a middle manager who has struggled in the domestic workplace for 10 years from 996 is the British complex I have drawn from classic movies, although I have not been to the UK for a day.
The black humor of "Insignificant", the gentlemanly love of "Before I Met You", the warm inspiration of "Beyond My World", the wonderful suspense of "Goldsford Manor"... Each soundtrack film is like my English cultural enlightenment tutorial, which gives me enough courage and boundless interest to work towards the realization of the British dream.
After many years of ups and downs in the workplace, I have realized that there is no shortage of people with study abroad experience in this era, and what is needed is people with international workplace thinking and patterns. After the popularization of the vaccine, foreign job hopping may become the first choice for some young white-collar workers and accompanying parents to emigrate overseas.
After the introduction of the British work visa policy, the conditions are relaxed, the process is simplified, under the latest system of scoring, the ability to accept job seekers outside the UK has become stronger, coupled with the educational environment of british private schools and the employment opportunities for college graduates, I am more determined to create an international life stage for children that respects individuality and is more friendly to single mothers.
In order to improve the quality of life and ensure that children have enough experience to cope with the ever-changing world on the basis of physical and mental health and personality soundness, how can multinational job-hoppers under the epidemic use overseas headhunting companies to obtain internal push?

Low-end version of the UK Innovation Visa, you can do it too!
After graduating from England, I hurried back to China. However, there was no rush to enter the workplace, because I liked fashion brand clothing, I stayed in Shenzhen, which has broad prospects for the development of the creative fashion industry, to explore business opportunities, fortunately, in 2019, I finally established my own small brand.
On a business trip to Shanghai, he coincidentally participated in an influential elite gathering of returnees in Modu. So, my fate came!
At the event, I met a Harbin girl who loves to travel and ski. Because she was a fellow countryman and had a similar experience in the UK, she soon became my girlfriend, and soon she became my wife again!
For her sake, I moved to Shanghai, but it wasn't long before the outbreak broke out. Unfortunately, her travel company is the industry that has been most affected. The company could not survive and could only disband the team, but her boss regretted cai and recommended her to an immigration business partner company, but this move changed the trajectory of our lives.
At that time, I was already a little overwhelmed with the remote operation of Shenzhen's fashion clothing stores, and I was considering whether to start a new entrepreneurial experience in Shanghai, but my familiarity with Shanghai was not as good as London, and it would take time to understand the market to accumulate contacts. I have to praise my capable wife not only has vision, but also has a good sense of smell.
Soon after she joined the company, after mastering the policy characteristics of all the mainstream immigration countries, she keenly discovered a walk of fame that suited both of us. In her words, in the midst of the sea, the UK's innovative visa settlement policy seems to be tailored for me!
The English requirements are not too high (IELTS 5.5 points or like I have a British undergraduate degree can be exempted from the exam), take the permanent residence time fast (the fastest 3 years), the spouse can work and do business in the UK, the most important point is to have a certain "cooperation contract ability", the main two conditions: one is the minimum investment of 50,000 pounds into the equity capital; one is the industry experience and decision-making level of the partnership to run innovative enterprises. After learning this, I couldn't help but get excited. After graduating from studying abroad, I reluctantly left, but now I have the opportunity to return to London to settle down, partner in business, and accompany my wife to Northern Europe skiing at any time, perfect!
It was interesting to think that it was actually her wife who introduced immigration services to herself, and responded to the sentence: the most successful operation of the company is to turn her employees into VIPs. After half a year, our Innovation Visa was approved in March 2021! It also allowed me to see the professionalism and efficiency of this team, which is worthy of being the head enterprise in this field.
