Corporate lawyers with overseas law degrees and bar admission with strong language skills are currently in exceptionally high demand both from law firms and multinational corporations. China’s traditional manufacturing base requires the services of many commercial/corporate lawyers to facilitate business transactions among many other areas. Moreover, other sectors of growth include compliance, project finance and (due to sophistication of new financial products) financial markets.

compete when it comes to salary, and clearly offer substantial opportunities to engage in the training and development, promotional and management-track schemes which are already offered by the best international businesses. Put simply, professionally trained lawyers don’t any longer have to work from dawn until dusk, they are looked after as people, and they have a career rather than a ‘track’.

So what does all is mean? Super salaries to employ in-house attorneys, super salaries for law firms to retain their best talent (which most largely fail to do)? Yes possibly. But maybe there is another solution:

Hospitality & Leisure companies are pulling out all the stops to hire and retain staff to serve demanding consumers in a buoyant market. China’s travel and tourism industry has recorded staggering growth in the past two decades, and the industry is now worth more than US$100 billion a year to the Chinese economy. Inbound arrivals topped 132 million in 2007. The sector also accounts for some 90 million jobs, directly and indirectly.

Every company will set up its annul-development projection, in which the personnel-alteration is an important part. After hardship of the previous year, most collars would like to change their jobs after they get the annual-bonus. So generally speaking, the golden time for corporate recruitment is after spring festival holiday till the International Labor Holiday. We should carefully dig out the HR market according to characteristics of different industries, the right time for job-hopping, and the personality of individual candidates.

More and more candidates confused by the limitation of social relationship, and actually it is really time-consuming to search the position through internet, in addition, most company’s background and position description are not clearly show online, which could be followed by a failure of job-hopping.

IBM, 联想，松下这些企业名称犹如磁场一般，对于职场中人，尤其是初涉职场的大学生而言是具有致命吸引力的。根据安拓国际的案例统计，89％的人在面对“名企”和普通企业两份OFFER的时候都会选择前者，即使那个职位并不适合其发展，他们也会义无反顾投入名企的怀抱，结果可想而知。

沟通在职场中的重要性不言而喻。如果您是一名销售人员，需要推销您的产品，与客户进行有效的沟通；如果您是一名中层管理者，积极的沟通以保证上传下达；如果您是公司的客服人员，技巧的沟通则是处理客户关系有力武器。

当然，沟通是一门学问、一门艺术，良好的沟通技巧能让您与对方产生很好的共鸣，增进双方的了解，让双方在心情舒畅中达成共识。但在沟通中，我们应该注意到一点：沟通不是简单的1+!=2，即在沟通中，如果双方没有共鸣，你说你的，我说我的，其结果必然是不欢而散的。

跳槽、转行不是说跳就跳，需要做好各种准备。准备不够就是碰运气，没有碰好，不仅浪费时间，还会耽误职业发展进度。此外，跳槽、转行还需要选择适当的时间，同样是你，同样的准备，跳槽时间不同，收获也将有很大的差别。那么，如何选择适当的时间跳槽、转行呢？安拓国际中国区总裁潘瑞宝认为有这样几点需要注意：

“工作中，我经常听到企业的经营者们抱怨“80后”们的种种“不能理解”的行为，在我自己的企业里“80后”的员工占整数的90%，当然也要面对同样的问题，我不得不承认，这些“80后”的新型员工就像《西游记》里的孙悟空，虽然有七十二本班事，却又无法无天，难以驯服，稍有不慎办公室就会上演“大闹天宫”“拂袖而去”的戏码。

经过几年时间的摸索并和他们共同工作，我发现要完全“收服”这些年轻人，光靠强硬的态度是不行的，只有找到正确的方法，调动他们的热情和积极性，才能建立他们的责任感和团队精神，只有首先满足了他们自身的成就感，才能实现个体对企业的忠实。因此，企业领导者们必须学习唐僧的精神，以坚定的信念，将企业文化渗透到每位员工中，并以滴水穿石的执著，感化这些任性好斗、争强好胜的“泼猴”，才能完成“取经重任”。

抠门的老板

身在职场，少不了听周围的朋友抱怨自己的老板“抠门”：

“凭什么给我那么低的薪水啊，我再熬个半年立马走人，让他后悔。”但是很少有听到过哪位跟老板谈加薪，并且鲜有成功案例。为什么职场人士都愿意通过跳槽的方法来加薪呢？ 跟老板谈加薪真的就那么难吗？

关于这个问题，首先，应该抱着解决问题的态度，问一下自己为什么会感到工资低了，是自己的期望过高？还是自己的薪水确实低于同行业水平？如果每次一觉得自己工资少马上就考虑换一家公司，那样的话可换的公司可就太多了，就像一旦你的女朋友对你不好，你没有问问她为什么对你不好了，而是马上考虑换一个女友，这是非常不负责任的。

同样，如果仅仅为了几千甚至几百元钱就换一个工作，你的下一个雇主看到你简历的时候会皱起眉头的。
