如今对绝大多数的应届毕业生来讲，想要在这竞争无比激烈的职场中，找份满意的工作可真不是件容易事。一部分人把目光转向了他们的校友，从他们身上寻求帮助和职业指导，并获得宝贵的招聘信息——这个办法你想到了吗？ With the fierce competition in the career market, finding a job seems a daunting task for many students. But a few are exploring creative ways to secure a job, for instance, turning to their alumni. Cherry Yang, a journalism major at Shanghai International Studies University got a job from Shanghai Media Group (SMG) this year after her alumnus's recommendation. "Some of our schoolmates have already been promoted to management level, which means they may have a big say in recruitment," Yang explained. Friends in high places "If you know some alumni, and they recognize your ability, then you will get through quite smoothly." Actually, many companies have started referral schemes to recruit new blood because they're cheaper compared with traditional recruitment methods. The schemes mean students have more chance of being hired through their alumni networks. Edelman, an international PR company, has recruited a couple of employees in this way, according to Tracy Wu, senior HR manager of Edelman China. "The best part of it is: We are aware of these students' capabilities, because our employees know their alumni; and these candidates understand our corporate culture well, because their alumni [our employees] have already told them all about it," said Tracy. |
