1. Is it hard to find work in China today?
Yes, I think it’s difficult to find work in China. The overpopulation problem is creating less and less job vacancies and fiercer competition. There have been government policies to create more work, but it just means that more people have pointless jobs with low salaries. Even if people receive higher education it doesn’t guarantee them a job, because there are so many people doing the same thing. Another reason there is a decrease in employment is the growing number of foreigners coming to China and filling the positions.
2. What would you prefer to work in, a big organization or a small one?
I would prefer to work in a big company. There are more opportunities to get promoted, to get a higher salary, and get extra training, such as being sent abroad for communications. There is higher job security in big companies, and it is less noticeable when you make a mistake. Big companies have standard guidelines that are easy to follow; plus, they provide more rights to their employees. Working in bigger companies also gives you more opportunities to meet new people and make good business connections for the future. Finally, if you ever leave, it is more likely that your future employer will have heard of the company.
3. Do you think there are any advantages from working at night?
There are many advantages to working at night. There is less traffic at night, so it would be easier and faster to get to work. If you get a night job, you may be paid more than someone who does the same job during the day. There are fewer meetings at night and the likelihood of getting promoted sooner is greater since there are less people to compete against. It's a much looser, friendlier and less formal environment at night. It's more objective-oriented than process-oriented, and there is less interruption.
