If you are currently studying abroad, you will probably, at some point, have referred to how the experience will look “great on your CV”.
如果你目前在海外求學,你很可能會發現留學經歷會給你的個人履歷填上重要的一筆。
You might have cited the employability aspect of spending time abroad to justify it to yourself or your parents. You may even have fooled yourself into thinking that you’re only going abroad because of how many opportunities it will open up for you, or how it will make you stand out from the crowd.
你可能會用就業方面的優勢去說服你的父母到海外留學。你甚至還會蒙蔽自己認為留學會有很多機會,讓你與眾不同比別人優秀。
For the vast majority it is unlikely that these were the main reasons behind deciding to leave the UK, myself included. Of course there’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to travel, experience a new culture and be a part of study abroad social life. But ultimately that will all come to an end and you’ll be left wondering how to sell those last few months (or year) to a potential employer.
對很多人來說離開本國去求學不一定有很多原因,當然想要離開并沒有什么錯,體驗新的文化加入國外留學圈子。但是最終你還是要考慮這些經歷怎么幫你找到好工作。
Luckily for you, most of what you said was in fact correct. You might have been using the employment angle as a means to justify an end, but the truth is that studying abroad can genuinely help you get a job.
幸運的是,你說的很多事實上都是正確的。也許你會用留學作為說服自己的借口,但是確實可以幫你找到一份好工作。
There are skills to be gained from moving country and adjusting to a new teaching system. It’s also far easier to identify the skills you are lacking when you step outside your comfort zone – and going abroad to study is a fairly serious step.
搬到其他國家適應新的教學系統是有一些技巧的。當你踏出自己熟悉的安全領域,你不一定能很容易就找到自己欠缺的東西,而出國留學無疑是一個嚴肅的決定。
Many employers seem to agree with this view. Claire Powers, a recruiter from global knowledge broker AlphaSights, says that she “cannot emphasise enough the importance of an international experience” and that “the confidence and self-awareness students gain from putting down roots somewhere new, is an asset for any business”.
很多應聘者都贊同這一觀點。Claire Powers是全球知識代理人AlphaSights的招聘人,他說道不能保證國際經驗的重要性,學生獲得的自信和自我意識是任何職業的一種價值資產。
From my experience so far, the area that you will improve in the most is your cultural awareness and ability to work effectively with people from different backgrounds.
從我目前的經驗來看,最需要馬上改變的方面就是你的文化意識和與來自不同文化背景的人高效合作工作的能力。
I didn’t realise how many misconceptions about various nationalities I previously held, until I actually interacted and worked with them on a regular basis.
直到你真正和他們互動工作你才會發現之前對很多國家的人抱有的一些錯誤的觀點。
With the increasingly globalised nature of the modern workplace, getting over such hurdles is particularly important. The Internet and modern transport networks might bridge physical space, but it’s up to you to bridge the gaps in your cultural understanding.
隨著全球化不斷加快的現代工作環境,克服這類障礙顯得尤其重要。網絡和現代交流工作網可以建立距離和空間的聯系。但是根據你對文化的認識去彌補差距才是你該做的。
Saying you want to broaden your cultural horizons might sound like a clichéd advert for a travel agent, but it’s something that employers truly value. Don’t just take my word for it. A spokesperson for the multinational law firm Linklaters said they “want to recruit people with a global outlook” and that spending time abroad “can help develop the cultural awareness required to meet clients’ needs effectively”.
說你想要拓寬文化視野聽起來就像旅游事務所的陳舊廣告詞,但是這是應聘者擁有的很重要的東西。不要只是把我說的話當真。跨國法律公司Linklaters的一位發言人說想要招募具有全球化視野的人員,有海外留學經歷的人可以高效地滿足顧客對文化意識的要求。
Adaptability is another key area you will be able to develop overseas, for the most part without even thinking about it. Even if you moved to the other end of the UK for university, you have likely been situated in a broadly similar environment for the past two decades.
適應性也是另外一個關鍵的因素,你甚至都意識不到它的存在。哪怕只是到了其他城市商學,你還是會處在一個廣闊的環境中。
Developing your ability to be flexible and react independently to changing circumstances or environments is invaluable to employers.
靈活地發展個人能力并且能獨立地面對環境的改變對應聘者來說都是很寶貴的。
