加利福尼亚州和中国具有什么共同之处呢？你可能觉得相似点不会太多，但实际上，美国这个州和亚洲这个超级大国都有着迎接未来环境挑战的资源、人才和决心。目前，环境政策缺乏全球性的领导者，而中国正在填补这个空缺。

已发现的气温上升、降水变化等不利影响让亚洲领导人明白，气候变化并不是一场骗局，事实上，就在美国威胁要退出今年六月签署的《巴黎协定》时，北京方面明确表示愿意站在任何全球环保行动的前沿。

如果你希望有所作为、帮助解决世界面临的主要挑战，考虑过从事有关环境政策的工作的话，你的机会来了，接下来让我们看看为什么你要特别关注中国。

中国在环境政策方面取得了巨大进步

为了减少所谓的“空气末日”，中国每年甚至会关闭近30%的铝冶炼产能，与此同时，去年的煤炭消耗也降低了4.7%。

政府还采取了严格的应对措施，用李克强的话说就是要“让我们的蓝天重现”，包括取缔不符合更严格环保标准的企业、投资逾600亿美元来植树造林，此外，中国还在人工繁殖230种濒危物种，来维持稳定的种群水平。

中国政府同时大量投资了环保企业。在中国，每年约有110万人死于空气污染，因此，习近平主席把可持续发展问题列为首要议程就不足为奇了。

中国各高校正在运转着全球最好的项目

近年来，中国的大学一直在努力迎合越来越多的国际学生的需求，期待开发自身在某一特定领域的特长、树立国际形象。其中，久负盛名的昆山杜克大学就开设了英文授课的环境政策硕士项目，课程中有一个学期是去往杜克大学美国北卡罗莱纳州达勒姆校区留学。

这个为期两年的项目，将经济学、政治学、社会学、历史、法律、统计与环境科学结合在一起，对下一代商业领导、政策决定者及创始企业的CEO们进行可持续发展方面的教育。

科技、政策与工业等行业 不会过时的工作机会

可持续发展、环保方面的工作除了带来个人回报外，还是最具未来保障的行业之一。气候变化在接下来100年间，仍会是一个全球性挑战，会影响到所有国家。更重要的是，随着对防污染口罩/面罩、可持续食物等环保产品的需求不断提高，包括制造业、科学技术和政府在内的部门都在可持续性发展方面存在许多机会。

企业也已经开始向可持续发展转型。像联合利华、森宝利、沃尔玛和玛莎百货等市场领军企业都已经意识到投资于减少浪费项目的经济效益，开始着手规划气候方面的目标。所以，不管你希望涉足什么行业，在大学里学习环境政策都会让你比其他毕业生更有优势，因为招聘方会非常需要你的专业知识和你在中国的人脉。

The QS Asia University Rankings 2018 have been released, with Nanyang Technological University (NTU) rising two places to be named the best university in the region. However, that doesn’t mean NTU is the best university for everything. The rankings, like all QS rankings, is compiled using a series of metrics, including the ratio of students to faculty members and the proportion of incoming and outgoing exchange students at each university.

Arguably the most important metric if you’re already eyeing up a graduate job after university is employer reputation. This is compiled by surveying top graduate employers around the world and asking them which universities they consider to be producing the best students in their particular field.

If advancing your career prospects and graduating with a degree highly valued by leading employers is important to you, these universities are the ones to apply to.

10. Kyoto University

Just inside the top 10 for Asian universities loved by employers is Kyoto University, the first of two Japanese universities to feature in this list. Overall, Kyoto fell two places in this year’s ranking, from 15^th to 17^th. Despite this, it’s still a fantastic study destination and offers students the chance to study in one of the most photogenic and spiritual cities in Japan, full of tranquil temples and outstanding locations of natural beauty.

9. Shanghai Jiao Tong University

Shanghai Jiao Tong University is the lowest-ranked university in the Asia rankings to feature in our top 10, having come only 22^nd overall this year. Despite this lowly ranking, the Chinese university is within the top 10 for one other metric besides employer reputation, ranking 10^th for the number of academic research papers the university produces per faculty member.

8. Fudan University

The second of four Chinese universities to be included in our list of Asian universities ranked highly by employers, Fudan University also broke into the top 10 overall this year, ranking seventh. Its impressive reputation among employers is one of several noteworthy elements of this C9 League university, along with the high number of citations per research paper that mention Fudan, showing the institution’s research is having a high impact.

7. Seoul National University (SNU)

Seoul National University is ranked seventh both for its reputation among academics and its reputation among employers. These high scores aren’t enough to have prevented the South Korean institution from falling out of the top 10 overall this year, however. No matter what subject you choose to study here, you should be in safe hands: SNU is ranked in the top 35 universities in the world in all five subject areas included in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2017.

6. Sungkyunkwan University

Also based in South Korea, Sungkyunkwan University can proudly claim to be the top university in the country with employers, despite ranking only 18^th in Asia overall. The university is ranked particularly highly for modern languages and chemical engineering in the 2017 subject rankings.

5. Nanyang Technological University (NTU)

It’s been a very good year for Nanyang Technological University, having risen two places in the overall Asia ranking to first place, overtaking fellow Singaporean institution National University of Singapore. It’s only the fifth best university in Asia according to employers though. What NTU does offer students though is a consistently strong university across the board, as it’s within the top 10 in Asia for all except three of the metrics used to compile the rankings.

4. Tsinghua University

One of the top 10 universities in the world for studying engineering and technology, Tsinghua University is also extremely well-regarded by employers around the world. The Chinese institution fell one place to sixth overall this year, but it continues to be the highest-ranked university in its country and one of the region’s finest study destinations. If we’re talking about employer reputation, however, there is one Chinese institution that beats it…

3. Peking University

Yes, Peking University is the Chinese university most loved by employers according to this year’s ranking, placing ahead of Tsinghua despite being three places lower in the overall ranking. Peking University is also ranked third for academic reputation, suggesting a degree from here will turn heads no matter where you are in the world. Come here if you’re keen on studying modern languages: it’s the seventh best university in the world for this subject.

2. University of Tokyo

The second Japanese university to feature on this list is the University of Tokyo. Ranked 13^th in Asia overall, the institution offers you the chance to study in one of the most exciting, sprawling capital cities in the world. Its low overall ranking is partly attributable to a lack of international faculty members and inbound or outbound exchange students, but don’t let that put you off. It’s also in the top 10 in the world for eight different subjects, including physics & astronomy, chemical engineering and modern languages.

1. National University of Singapore (NUS)

Finally, our list of the Asian universities most loved by employers ends with the National University of Singapore. The second-best university in the region overall, NUS is in the top 10 for four different metrics, including academic reputation and research citations per paper as well as employer reputation. The institution may have lost ground to NTU in Singapore recently, but there are still plenty of reasons to recommend it, particularly if you’re keen on studying civil & structural engineering, a subject it’s ranked in the top five in the world for.

新一季的招聘会即将开始。这些定期活动信息丰富，提供了与雇主建立联系并让您关注未来的独特机会。

我们会看看提供什么以及如何充分利用您的访问。

一般招聘会还是专业招聘会？

如果您不关注特定行业，请留意一般的招聘会。这些涵盖各种行业，许多公司代表招聘本科生学习广泛的学科。大多数大学都有雇主参加的一般展览会，但如果您想在大型活动中发现所提供的内容，那么如果您在英国，国家研究生招聘会值得一游。这些一般的招聘会在伯明翰和伦敦举行，有超过 100 名雇主参加。提前注册以快速进入。

对于已经决定职业道路的学生，有大量的专业职业活动。从为有抱负的律师举办的交易会到为未来的财务顾问举办的下午茶，您会发现涵盖Prospects 网站上列出的每个职业的活动。

接触雇主

参加招聘会的主要好处是有机会与招聘人员交谈。公司通常会派出多种代表，因此您会遇到人力资源代表、经验丰富的员工和新员工。 借此机会与年轻员工交谈，因为他们将能够分享他们在毕业生招聘过程中的经验，而更有经验的员工和人力资源代表应该能够提供一些面试技巧，并让您准确了解他们的理想候选人。

如果紧张让您口齿不清，请简要介绍您的学习领域、您的技能和您的职业兴趣。每次参加面试时都必须这样做，那么为什么不将招聘会视为练习的机会呢？如果您热衷于给特定公司的代表留下深刻印象，那么明智的做法是先在不太重要的摊位尝试您的电梯宣传。

获得有关工作面试和简历的帮助

许多职业活动提供各种可选的研讨会、面试研讨会和讲座。如果您热衷于参加，我们建议您查看组织者的网站，因为它们通常需要提前预订。

较大的招聘会通常包括由人力资源专家经营的简历筛选。参与筛选可以为您提供宝贵的反馈和提示。充分利用机会进行常见的评估活动（例如心理测试）也是值得的。

利用这个机会提问

每当您可以联系招聘人员时，不要害怕提出问题。然而，与其问那些显而易见的问题，不如尝试更深入地挖掘。例如，您可以询问特定职位的详细信息以及职业发展的选择。

如果您担心自己可能会忘记要说什么，请将您的问题写在一张小卡片上，并事先快速浏览一下。

如果您想在更正式的演讲中提出问题，则需要在展会当天提前提交。当你被邀请发言时，站起来，介绍自己并表达你的声音。永远避免用过于复杂的问题来炫耀。

借此机会获得工作经验

当您被潜在雇主包围时，为什么不了解他们是否提供任何实习或实习年机会？

这些提升简历的机会旨在让您了解为特定公司工作的真实感受。你经常有机会体验几个不同的角色，这在选择你的职业道路时会有所不同。

无论您选择哪种活动，充分利用每次访问都需要大量准备。事先查看参展商名单，确定您真正想参观的参展商并彻底研究它们。用一些原始的简历副本武装自己，穿着得体，不要忘记微笑。
