Since China's reform and opening up in 1978, an increasing number of Chinese people have explored overseas chances, such as studying in Japan. As a result, Japan's Chinese student population has become increasingly varied. Factors such as growing worldwide competition for human resources, a broader choice of work options, better study abroad conditions, and the rise of the Chinese economy and Internet have all altered the social milieu. This study looks at the job-seeking inclinations, social network utilization, and impacts of the third cohort of Chinese international students in Japan born after the 1980s. They have encountered a more complex social environment than overseas students prior to 1980, come from wealthy households, and have better career opportunities after studying abroad at a younger age as a result of increased academic rivalry in China. They also came to Japan in search of self-fulfillment and contentment, therefore they had great hopes of advancing their careers by working in huge organizations. According to the report, when it comes to looking for career prospects, people choose new social networks over ethnic networks. Chinese SNS software was used to create new ethnic networks centered on job searching and training. Overseas students used these networks to communicate with Chinese people all around Japan, gaining crucial job-hunting information and aid. When looking for work, they use both strong and weak connections. When it comes to getting a job in their home country or in a small company, Chinese students in Japan can benefit from having good contacts. Weak connections, on the other hand, can help people achieve their higher job searching goals by providing different and varied information.
