Recently,some Hong Kong employers said that they prefer to employ local graudates rather than those who have graudated from overseas universities.For me,it is very hard to understand why they would have such thought in their mind.I am not trying to say that overseas graudates are necessarily better than the locals.However,it it clear that the students who have once studied in a foreign country will have some advantages over local students which will be mentioning below.I hope that employers can change their mind that oversea students are also a good choice for them after watching this article
First of all,in terms of english proficiency,there is no doubt that overseas students are better than the locals because they have a greater chance to use english which is a really improtant language in today' society.Yet,in Hong Kong where cantonese is the mostly-used language among Hongkongers,students are unable to practice their english frequently.In this perspective,overseas students are better than local students
Besides,the students who confine in Hong Kong will have less international horizon.Hong Kong, although considered as an international city,the population here are primarily chiness or cantoness, cannot provide local students with the knowledge of different culture or customs.On the contrary,overseas students meet more people than the locals do,they know the customs and taboos of foreigners which can help their companies to deal well with overseas clients and thus enhancing the image and reputation of the companies
Lastly,I understand that the reason for employers not considering overseas students as their pirority to choose from is that they think those who seek to study abroad are not good enough to enter local universities.It may be true in some extent,however,we should not use public examination as a sole criterion to determine their ability. In their years of studying abroad, things will change and employers should change too
