Marriage And Kids Being A Hindrance It is a common belief of Chinese employees that their marital status is likely to impact their ability to find a suitable position. These professionals are often of the opinion that hiring managers tend to consider employees who are married and have kids to be less competitive and flexible as compared to people who are single and have no children. They believe that familial responsibilities are believed to tie down people and make them less productive. Changing this mindset proves to be extremely challenging for coaching professionals. Desire To Seek Entrepreneurial Opportunities Another major challenge faced by professionals offering career transition coaching in China is that of outgoing employees seeking entrepreneurial opportunities. The one key aspect that promotes this trend is the provision of compensation for employees who have worked for the same employer for more than one year by the Chinese labor law. Most outgoing employees thus feel enthusiastic about starting their own venture with this money rather than seeking employment elsewhere. Tel:+86-21-6474-7064 simon-wan@cornerstone-group.com
