I believe most people do not have enogh salary for theer lives (espasailly in China),so what can we do? Manage it !Usually, we can divede it as five parts.

Part 1. For your life
For example, live, traffic,food.

Part 2. For your friends
You can spend 100 yuan on telephone every month to communicate with your friends.
And you can treat on your friends twice a month , each time you can prepare 150 yuan. Be ready to treat someone clever than you,someone richer than you ,someone you want to thank for.

Part 3. For your brain
You can spend 50-100 yuan to buy books every month.
Remember save 300 yuan every month for the further training when you need.

Part 4. For your play
At least have a travel once a year.

Part 5. For your investment
You can spend some time and money at website to sell something.

In summary,the money is used for your body,your communication, your training, your travelling ,and your future.

Employment grind takes hard price out of new job seekers

1 comment July 21st, 2010

Some social commentators attribute this to the arrogance of college graduates and call us to change the way we think about jobs. However, the criticism isn’t accurate if they take the cost of university education into consideration.

I know how tough it was for my parents to save for my education tuition and how they wish I could live a better life after graduation. It seems the beautiful dreams of college education will be smashed into pieces.

It is also an open secret that in the Chinese employment market for college graduates, it is easier for boys to find a job. All the 35 boys in my class have found satisfying jobs, while many girls are still struggling in the mire of job-hunting.

I remembered vividly that all my roommates spent two hours on an online application for a famous newspaper group. None of us got the chance for a written examination, while the boys in another dormitory were all granted the chance to take the test.

Visible and invisible discrimination are rife in the employment market and ruin the chance of employment for many young women.

Now, I am still looking for the best job possible, and not sure when I will surrender to reality.

Uni students prepare for tough job market in Italy

No comments July 21st, 2010

Italian university graduates are facing tough times as the global economic downturn continues to influence the job market.

The overall picture is a bit gloomy. According to Italy’s National Statistics Office, or Istat, the unemployment rate for young people between age 15 and 24 rose from 29.1 percent in April to 29.2 percent in May, the highest since Istat began recording the data in 2004.

However for some, the road leading to a decent position is not entirely uphill and bumpy.

“The labor market offers many opportunities for graduates who have a resilient attitude and bring fresh ideas,” said professor Alfio Mongelli, president and art director of Rome University of Fine Arts.

“Once they finish studying, graduates must not wait for external help from the government, friends or relatives, but need to help themselves by being dynamic in finding a job,” he said, adding that young people are partially responsible if they are unemployed.

The essential ingredients for university graduates to find a suitable working place, he continued, were preparation, determination and creativity.

“If the university graduate has studied, applied himself throughout his courses and is well-prepared, many will happily give him a chance, especially in the poorer South,” said Mongelli.

Per capita GDP in the south is only half of that in northern and central regions, while unemployment rates in the south is usually twice the north.

Students are aware of the many difficulties that lie in front of them. “Obviously it is hard to find a job now,” said Altea Anglani, a current job-seeking graduate.

“Students who work harder may find a better job. We hope to get good results in exams. We hope that we could put our knowledge into practice…I believe that if you are good, in the end you will win,” she added.

How to build Teamwork Spirit in your job

No comments July 20th, 2010

Now, my four-year of university life is over. Time flies! While, even now, the memory of four years is still very clear.

The most unforgetable thing during this period is the competition of class chorus.When we get the news that our school of English is going to hold a class chorus competition in two weeks, we are suprised, excited, and a little puzzled. We are not specialized in singing songs, especially chorus. it’s really hard for us to prepare for the big competition in such a short time. Moreover, we have to go on normal routine of studying, so we couldn’ t put all our heart and time on this event.

But, thanks to this competition, I have felt the since utmost strongest spirit of teamwork. We worked together to think up of which song to choose; the arrangement of practice.In the two weeks before the competition night, every classmate of mine are trying to put aside other things to take part in practice.

The song we choose is the ” i will follow him” from the classic move “Sister Act”. We all think that since we are English majors, we should sing an English song, not chinese one as usual. This is the idea put forward by 25 of us.

As this song is a chorus, it comprises three scales of note, very new and difficult for our amateur to practice. However, thanks to two classmates who have some expertise in singing, 25 of us are arranged into three groups, each one of which focused on low key, middle key and high key respectively.

We have arguments, disagreements, laugh, happiness and all other mixed feellings. Though the begining is very perplexing and hard, we overcame it together. In the last day before the defining day, we all are pleased with the result of our efforts; we even couldn’t believe that we could sing the song so beautiful and much like the original one.

Of course, we’ve got a satisfying prize, of which we are very proud.

Moreover, we are proud of ourselves; proud of the teamwork spirit.

Not easy to get a part time job in China

No comments July 20th, 2010

Those days i am busy with finding a part-time job,i thought i would be easy,but unfortually it tures out so hard to find one,i even be cheated by some agencies,it’s the most horrible thing i feel,how could it be?Maybe i am still so young,many social issuse have no access to.
Why it’s so hard to find a part-time job?I think there are several reasons as follows.Firstly,it’s part-time job,seldom companys ,angenies or supermakets need part-time job workers,espesially if you go there in person,they virtually believe you,they perfer to trust the middle agencies.Secondly,i am still students now,most of the time they don’t trust students still in college,we have no experience,but who has experience with birth,can you?And thirdly it’s my personal reason,i want to stay in campus to prepare for my BEC test and maybe do some reading invovled in management, i want to further my stduy in management project two years later.so if stay in campus,it brings in some retraints.Maybe it’s all these reasons made me hard to find a part-time job.
I really try my best ,search from the Internet,and have interviews in many places,finally i am still nowhere,how miserable!

Is it difficult for chinese graduates to get a job?

No comments July 19th, 2010

With  the policy of expanding recruitment of higher education and fierce competition of  job-hunting market,the unemployment of college graduates is becoming the hot issue of the whole society.The college graduates constantly complain about being rejected by some promising company in the job-hunting market.

  Even most jobs providedin the job-hunting declaredly excluded the graduates,only welcoming the experienced employees.even worse,entering for the post graduate examination is becoming an approach to escaping the problem of unemployment.I also intended to take postgraduate exam,but I give it up after I think it over again.Because it will spend years and cost money if I pursue the master degree.Time is of the essence in nowdays.
  Is that really difficult for college graduates to hunt jobs?In fact,the answer might be “no”.There are three reasons for unemployment of college graduates.The first one is the deficiency of practical vocational skills and academic knowledge.The second is the inapproriate evaluation of his own value in job market.The third is the actually fierce competition resulting from the policy of expanding recruitment of higher education.
  To successfully compete in the job market as a college graduate,you must work hard to master the academic and vocational skills during your college life.Of course,consciously training your practical skills by taking part-time job will be advisable.
  A lot of college graduates desire to work at govermental institutions in big cities,and they all want to sign up for the public servant’s examination.Besides,many employers only want to take on those students who have good knowledge and practical skills.But most of the graduates only have theoretical knowledge,but no practical experiences.

never give up in your career life

No comments July 19th, 2010

We often hear people say, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
  One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.

  In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have non chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.

Success And failure Is Just In a Moment

       Hello, my dear friends. Now I have a question here. When you are standing at crossroads, you must make a choice between your future broad vpphknbz and high payment, but first of all, you just graduate from college. Yeah, I am facing this problem , which has been anoying me for a long time. Lucky, my college students call me and at that time, I come to realize the truth that the first one is more important to me. Indeed, if I choose that so-called high payment and still work in that company, I am really stupid. In my mind, for I have been working for more than one year and I have little true work experience, but I learned a lot from my current job and before. Those jobs are really hard, I am a tender young lady and never work in a big hotel, I am scared about that work enviroment for bad men. However I must learn to be a good waitress there as my company told me (this is a food service company). there I met lots kinds of persons and I talk to them and make them happy not bad to me successfully. (No bad things happen) from this job, I get it that I must be clever when I am in trouble and face it bravely, besides tha, strong will, you may not know? Besides food waitress, I ever went to a five stars hotel as house waitress, I remember it clearly for ever that when I clear up those heavy, big bed and change their sheets. I eat a lot because heavey work, soon fat for several kilos. There is an aim in my mind that I must work in the logistics centre of our company one day, so no matter how hard the work is now, I must insist on it, I cant give up for I havent made my dream come true. At last, I went to the logistics center and they let me carry heavy oil bulks and think this is ur choice and you should do it. I really cant stand those so l leave. It looks like the god is helping me and I went to a vessel company from singapore

         At beginning, my leader treated me very badly for I am not the native in this city . I standed her a lot and did my job as well as possible. Each night, I was thinking over how I did good and not good in my job then corrected next day. Day by day, there was a big step in my work. Whats more, my leader changed , so better my life too. At that time , three colleagues left my dept for less payment. In fact, less bitterness they had, so they gave up easily, however, I was not, for I believed it was not a long time and I hadnt learned something about shipping, I couldn’t leave like those girls. I paid more attention on shipping knowledge and experience than money. That s my principle if I learn a lot and much experince I own, then I will earn a lot in future. Sometimes , you cant own both good things in hands one time. Then after three months, I told my boss I wanna go to cargo dept, I wanted to do market sales for which could make me touch with guests and negotiat. I could make me strong in my life truly. Unlucky I was rejected for no vacancy. Then I wait for next opportunity. I had work very well in my dept at that time, althrough I was the last one coming this deptment. I do four person’s work, not hard to me , I wish my boss can see my ability, I work flexibly and always can find the best method. But all of these are shattered after seven months, at the moment, there is a vacancy in cargo and my boss let our hr do it, the girl is in charge two mainy jobs in company. And she cant do well in hr now for some hr trouble I have to help her solve when I answer the company phone. I really hate this, I don’t care how much payment he can give me, what I want is just a chance, and they even promise me high payment if I am still in current dept. its my turn to reject them this time. I quit. Then they try to persuade me to work in admin to help that hr. in fact, I wasn’t clear about what I want in future, but now I am clear. I want to do international trade, I like english, so I want to begin from now on. I reject their advice for three times, just like what my college classmates told me, I must know what I really wanna in my life, and prepare for it now,. time is the most precious thing in this world, I cant waste them any more.

   I wish tomorrow will be fine and I will face it as usual with my biggest energy!

   No matter how hard the life is, I never give up!

I wasn’t satisfied with my job now,but the relationship with my colleague is very good,so i am hesitating whether i shall leave or stay.The reason why i want to job-hopping is that my boss always break his word.In the interview he promised double dayoff. holiday and bonus.I have been here for five month nothing he has offered,i have the feeling of cheated.Maybe you will ask why did you colleague leave?The answer is i don’t know,perhaps they used to this.
Tomorrow’s afternoon,I had noticed that I have been hired by a Germany company!I am very happy and excited.
I went to interview two weeks ago and received the phone notice what said me had been hired 2 days after.
They told me that I would be received the formal notice by E-mail.
But after a week,I didn’t received the E-mail.I feel a lit worry.
It happended sometings during I waited the notice.My friend who worked in this company told me that the employment time will be changed.It means that they just signed three-month contract with me.I am not a formal employee.I will not receive this contract.I feel very disappointed.
But after 2 days,my friend told it was a misunderstanding,I also will be a formal employee .Everything is like before.
Tomorrow,I finally received the last confirm notice.A stone in my heart fall to the ground!
Today I will resign from my boss!Then I will prepare to hand over my work.
I will have brand-new beginning!
Everybody blessing me!

High Salary and Career Development in China

No comments July 17th, 2010

Recent years have seen a large number of university leavers competing for better condition with their competitive peers.Many degree holders now are more inclined to find a job with career development rather than high salary.In my point of view,with so many potential jobs to choose from,university graduates are advised to find a job that provides broader career development space.These following reasons may help illustrate my point.

Firstly,a job with career development brings worthy working experience and future high salary.For instance,my uncle used to work in a government department as an official.In his days,the most frequent work in the department was reading newspaper and drinking tea.At the same time,he could draw a high pay.However,he thought his work was tedious and wanted to be engaged in something related to his business talent.In the end,he quitted the work and now he is a successful businessman.With hind back to,if he still work in the same position for the sake of money,he could not gain today’s wealth and receive so many valuable experiences.

In addition,career development provides people opportunities to challenge themselves. A promising job motivates their potential ability when accomplishes a difficult task. They take the job to obtain more experience,more opportunities for advancement in a higher position.In the process of undertaking the job,they will be qualified for previously unavailable jobs.

Finally,choosing career development over high salary not only trains the ability to deal with different situations,but also offers a bright future toward advancement. Never ever pursue so called hot jobs unless the job really suits job seekers themselves.
