compared to graduates from Hong Kong and Mainland China colleges. Yang Shuoshuo, chief executive of KOS International, a human resources consulting company, believes that the main difference lies in mentality and attitude. It is generally "difficult to choose and easy". Relatively choosing, it may be related to the prosperity of Hong Kong society; and many mainland college graduates come from domestic second-tier or third-tier cities, and relatively cherish every job opportunity in a big city, so it is easier to accept Employers agree that their employment competitiveness has more advantages.
Social movements have caused employers to have a poor perception of Hong Kong graduates.
Human resources consultant Zhou Qiping believes that the academic ability of mainland institutions is rising, especially the graduates of first-tier institutions have reached international standards, which will naturally increase the acceptance of graduates from mainland institutions rise.
In contrast to Hong Kong, Zhou Qiping believes that under the influence of social movements, employers’ perception of graduates from local institutions has deteriorated. She believes that employers expect their employees to be productive and would not mind their political stance without affecting their work. Infiltrating politics into jobs, whether local or overseas employers will become reserved.
On the other hand, Zhou Qiping pointed out that Hong Kong's talent advantage in scientific research and technology is inferior to that of Mainland China. If you do not advance, you will retreat, thus weakening the employment competitiveness of local institutions.
