Gan Xiaochen, 22, an international journalism major graduate, got a bit uneasy during job hunting this year.
22歲的甘曉晨（音譯）畢業(yè)于國際新聞專業(yè)，她在今年的求職過程中感到些許不輕松。
She found herself surrounded by candidates with good language skills, polished manners, and fabulous degrees - the overseas study returnees.
她發(fā)現(xiàn)身邊的求職者都是些海歸，他們語言能力強，舉止優(yōu)雅，拿著一流的學(xué)位。
"In a group interview for a ‘Big Four' accounting firm, I discovered three out of eight candidates have experience studying abroad," said Gan from Beijing Foreign Studies University.
"在四大會計師事務(wù)所的一次集體面試中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)3/8的求職者都有海外留學(xué)經(jīng)歷。"畢業(yè)于北京外國語大學(xué)的甘曉晨如是說。
"Good English was no longer an advantage to me, and I had to prove my merit through logic and reasoning."
"英語好已不再是我的優(yōu)勢，我必須要通過邏輯和推理來證明自身優(yōu)點。"
Gan got the job. Many grads are facing competition from overseas study returnees.
甘曉晨最終得到了這份工作。許多大學(xué)畢業(yè)生都面臨著與海歸的競爭。
The latest statistics from Zhaopin.com show that the number of students returning from studying abroad has reached 186,200 last year, an increase of 38.8 percent from 2010.
來自智聯(lián)招聘的一份最新調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)顯示，去年留學(xué)生海歸已達(dá)186,200人，較2010相比增長了38.8%
They're making an impact on the job market. "Both foreign-funded enterprises and local firms with global strategies have a liking for those students," said William Wu, vice president of the Asia Pacific region at Universum, a leading global employment research company.
他們正在影響著整個就業(yè)市場。"外企和許多實施全球化戰(zhàn)略的本土公司都偏愛海歸。"全球權(quán)威人力調(diào)研機構(gòu)優(yōu)信咨詢亞太地區(qū)副總裁威廉•吳說。
Wu says proficient language skills as well as an open mindset help them adapt to a multi-national environment. Their independent thinking and decision-making abilities also prepare them for leadership roles.
吳表示，熟練的語言技能和開明的理念，這些都能幫助他們適應(yīng)跨國環(huán)境。他們的獨立思考能力以及決策力也使他們今后向領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層發(fā)展奠定了基礎(chǔ)。
That's what made Sun Shao, 23, a chemical engineering major from University of Michigan, stand out and land an offer from Deloitte recently.
正是基于該原因，來自密歇根大學(xué)化學(xué)工程專業(yè)的23歲的孫浩（音譯）從求職大軍中脫穎而出，于近日被德勤會計師事務(wù)所錄用。
Mary Ma, a recruiting HR manager from Edelman, one of the world's largest independent public relations companies based in the US, said her company welcomes returned graduates for their practical education.
美國愛德曼公司是世界上最大的一家獨立公關(guān)公司，該公司的人力資源招聘經(jīng)理瑪麗•馬表示他們由于海歸所接受的都是實用性教育，所以愛德曼很青睞這類人群。
"Returnees could bring dynamic ideas and fresh perspectives to our clients' projects," she said.
"海歸能為我們客戶的項目帶來創(chuàng)新理念和新穎觀點。"她說。
"Professors in PR-related majors in the West often have rich working experience within the industry and can share case studies with students."
"在西方，人力資源相關(guān)專業(yè)的教授通常都具有豐富的業(yè)內(nèi)工作經(jīng)驗，可以與學(xué)生分享案例研究。"
However, as the number of returnee job applicants keeps rising, their degrees alone won't impress HRs.
然而，由于海歸求職者人數(shù)持續(xù)上升，單憑學(xué)位無法給招聘者留下深刻印象。
They have found that some students cram their learning into one or two years. Others are particularly weak when it comes to career planning.
他們發(fā)現(xiàn)一些學(xué)生利用一至兩年的時間死記硬背完成學(xué)業(yè)，而另一些學(xué)生在職業(yè)規(guī)劃方面表現(xiàn)得尤為不足。
"I will have to limit my interest to students who possess either relevant learning experience or a solid internship within the industry," continued Ma.
"我不得不將興趣轉(zhuǎn)移到那些既具有相關(guān)學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷，又具備具過硬的業(yè)內(nèi)實習(xí)經(jīng)驗的學(xué)生。"馬繼續(xù)說。
She said that several candidate earned chance to intern at the Chicago or New York offices of her company.

在沃爾沃公司的一個項目中，龔怡樂提出為這個來自瑞典的汽車制造商上線一份互動性的iPad雜志。這一創(chuàng)意為她的團隊贏得了更多的信任。

她的同學(xué)，24歲的韓旭陽（音譯），也在《新京報》國際事務(wù)處找到了一份記者工作。
Han believes his internship at the BBC, work as an assistant at the UN's World Food Program in London and his part-time sales job at an Apple Store helped nail his current position.
韓旭陽曾在英國廣播公司BBC實習(xí)，也曾在聯(lián)合國世界糧食計劃署擔(dān)任助理一職，還曾在蘋果店兼職做銷售，他堅信這些經(jīng)歷幫助他拿到了現(xiàn)在的這份工作。
But career experts say the influx of returnees doesn't mean that local students' prospects will suffer.
然而職業(yè)專家表示，留學(xué)生歸國潮并不意味著本土學(xué)生前途堪憂。
Wu advised that they can gain the upper hand with their knowledge of what's going on in the country. "Get an internship with a company you would like to join and know exactly what they want," he said. "Then you'll have a competitive edge few can compare with."
優(yōu)信咨詢亞太地區(qū)副總裁威廉•吳認(rèn)為本土學(xué)生在了解國內(nèi)形勢方面贏得先機。"先在你想要進入的公司里找份實習(xí)工作，了解他們的具體需求。"他說，"這樣你便會擁有無人能及的競爭力。"
