好念是好念，但是很难找工作啊。呵呵。
Has anybody wondered why it's harder to find a professional job with an IS degree?
When you look for professional jobs in Australia, you are competing with local western people for jobs. We can never compete with them in terms of English language skills because it's their first language. Therefore, if a job demands high level communication skills (in English), we are not in a good position to compete for it.
Unfortunately IS-related jobs demand high level communication skills, which is why it's harder for us to win. Similarly, Business-major graduates face the same sort of challenges.
In the meantime, I know many (Chinese) Computing graduates have been offered professional jobs in Australia. Computing (or IT) is probably the only major that does not demand high level communication skills. Western people agree that if you are good at programming languages, it is OK that your English language is not so good, because for IT jobs, you work in front of a computer (programming, designing websites, creating graphics, software testing, etc) silently without having to talk to the clients.
This brings up a hard issue: some students say that they are not good at programming and do not want to learn it ... well, this is a decision that you have to make: do you want to study for a harder degree (such as Computing) and then easily find a professional job, or study for an easy degree but then have difficulty finding a professional job?
By the way, most western people also hate programming so they do not want to apply for such IT jobs, which makes it easier for international students to apply. Western people love IS or Business related jobs because they enjoy talking to people and hate sitting in front of a computer silently to do programming ... |
