China's job market is heating up faster than a viral TikTok trend, and students worldwide are scrambling to crack the code. At a LinkedIn recruitment event in Beijing, Ghanaian master's student Josephine Annan dropped some serious career wisdom that's resonating with Gen-Z job seekers.
The Dual-Skill Advantage
Annan, studying at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunication, told CGTN's Enoch Wong: 'It's not enough to just be good at business or tech anymore – you need both.' Think of it like mastering your smartphone's camera and editing apps – one without the other just doesn't cut it in 2024.
Global Skills for Local Success
With manufacturing and consumer goods sectors transforming daily (we're looking at you, AI-powered factories!), Annan's advice cuts through the noise:
Tech literacy isn't optional – it's your new coffee order
Cross-cultural communication skills = your secret networking weapon
Business strategy know-how keeps you ahead of automation curves
As international companies flood into the Chinese mainland, this skill combo could be your golden ticket. The takeaway? Diversify your talents like you diversify your Instagram feed – it's all about staying relevant!
