     Wang Lu, 24, one of many students studying abroad who’ll come home for work, majors in business & management studies at Edinburgh’s Napier University. She had planned what to do after graduation in the UK: two years’ work experience at a restaurant and a tour around Europe. But now her plans are up in
the air.
     Following the UK Home Secretary’s meeting on reform of the student immigration system, the UK
government recently announced the end of the post-study work visa from April 2012. This will force tens
of thousands of Chinese students to leave the UK after graduation.
     Sadly, the domestic(国内的)job market doesn’t welcome them with open arms. A report by
Tigtag.com at the end of 2011 showed that over 35 percent of students admitted that they have
employment problems.
     "Returning students often have fluent English, creative minds and a serious attitude toward work,"said
Zhang Tingwen, an HR expert in ChinaHR.com. “But lack of work experience is a big problem.” Xia Lei, an HR manager, responded to Zhang. “We need people who can work for us. We don’t need people
from big name universities to attract customers”.
     Difference in work practices is another problem that worries employers, Zhang pointed out. “Some
returning students might be used to Western ways of dealing with people and things.”
     Huang Shanshan, 25, got a job in a communication company in Shenzhen.“I once worked part-time in UK. My colleagues ate snacks when they felt hungry, even during working time or in meetings.” Huang
brought some cakes to the office and ate them. When her manager saw that, he told her not to eat at
workplace. “It took me some time to adjust to company rules in China,” said Huang.
